Privacy for the Scroll to Arbitrum direction
Where offered, Private Route is intended to reduce an obvious direct association between the Scroll sending wallet and Arbitrum receiving wallet; it does not hide either blockchain. ETH is the native gas asset for Scroll. EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address Similar amounts, timing, address reuse, and later consolidation can still add association signals. Identity requirements must be checked separately.
Scroll source-side visibility
Scroll exposes account history, token approvals, contract calls, logs, gas funding, amounts, and timing under its own chain identifier. It is a bytecode-compatible zero-knowledge EVM rollup that proves batches to Ethereum. Scroll inclusion and Ethereum proof settlement are distinct, and its token contracts must be verified independently from L1. The source deposit, gas funding, asset representation, confirmations, and sending-address history remain outside any promise of invisibility.
Arbitrum destination-side visibility
Arbitrum exposes account history, token approvals, contract calls, logs, gas funding, amounts, and timing under its own chain identifier. Its Nitro optimistic-rollup design executes through a sequencer and posts compressed transaction data to Ethereum. L2 inclusion and Ethereum settlement are separate milestones, so a source receipt can advance before the rollup state is final on L1. The destination delivery and later activity can remain observable even when the provider path reduces a direct association.
Scroll deposit role versus Arbitrum receipt role
A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. Those deposit-side events remain public. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. The receipt and later activity remain public.
Two EVM histories can still be compared
Scroll and Arbitrum use separate chain identifiers, balances, contracts, transaction hashes, and gas records even when address syntax matches. Sequencer inclusion and settlement timing can add further observable milestones.
DAI issuer and contract context
DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. Both bridge sides can expose contract events, amounts, receiving services, and later transfers; a stable target value does not make those records private or interchangeable.
DAI collateral-token and bridge evidence; DAI collateral-token and bridge evidence
DAI is a crypto-backed stablecoin, but each network representation has its own public contract events. Provider routing does not hide allowances, transfers, receiving addresses, or later consolidation. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. The source transfer remains public. DAI is a crypto-backed stablecoin, but each network representation has its own public contract events. Provider routing does not hide allowances, transfers, receiving addresses, or later consolidation. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path. The destination receipt and later use remain public even when direct wallet association is reduced.
Cross-chain linkability limits
Private routing can reduce direct wallet association, but stablecoin contract events, issuer context, provider observations, source gas, destination receipt, amounts, timing, and later transfers remain visible. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.
Verification status is separate from privacy status
The live provider evaluates the exact stablecoin contract or native label, counter-asset, amount, region, and current policy. Issuer controls and provider identity checks are separate, and neither is waived by Private Route. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.
