What you need to know

ARB input identity and handling

Arbitrum is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. ARB uses a network-specific contract asset on BNB Chain. The recorded BNB Chain representation uses 18 decimal places. 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.

Receiving stablecoin DAI

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. The destination wallet must support the exact Linea representation. The route converts a token source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

From BNB Chain L1 into Linea L2

BNB Chain source execution occurs on L1, while Linea delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. BNB pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.

DAI output identity and receiving

Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a network-specific contract asset on Linea. The recorded Linea representation uses 18 decimal places. 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.

Linea destination execution

Linea is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Linea. EVM 0x account address A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract.

BNB Chain source execution

BNB Chain is a L1 EVM network in the BNB Chain ecosystem. BNB pays source-side network gas on BNB Chain. EVM 0x account address A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20.

Mistakes specific to ARB BNB Chain to DAI Linea

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than BNB Chain; using a destination that is not valid for Linea; running out of BNB before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20. 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 Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. 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.

Private Route for ARB → DAI

BNB Chain wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Linea wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ARB on BNB Chain to DAI on Linea 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.
