Arbitrum is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. ARB uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The Arbitrum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum.
USDT is issued through ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, and other network-specific contracts. The ticker does not determine the token standard, contract, issuer controls, or destination address model. The destination wallet must support the exact zkSync Era representation. The route converts a token source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.
This route crosses two L2 execution environments. Arbitrum settles to ethereum, while zkSync Era settles to ethereum; each side keeps its own gas balance, token contracts, transaction hash, and settlement progress.
Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on zkSync Era. The recorded zkSync Era representation uses 6 decimal places. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
zkSync Era is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on zkSync Era. EVM 0x account address A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery.
Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Arbitrum; using a destination that is not valid for zkSync Era; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and zkSync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ARB on Arbitrum to USDT on zkSync Era path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
ARB is a contract representation on Arbitrum at 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548. ETH, not ARB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum.
USDT is a contract representation on zkSync Era with 6 decimals at 0x493257fD37EDB34451f62EDf8D2a0C418852bA4C. ETH, not USDT, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum. On receipt, Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
ARB is the deposited token input; USDT is the quoted stablecoin output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
USDT must match the quoted zkSync Era representation. A ticker or target price is not enough to identify a token contract.
ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. ARB is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Requirements are checked for the live ARB Arbitrum to USDT zkSync quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
