AVAX input identity and handling

Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a native asset on Avalanche. The recorded Avalanche representation uses 18 decimal places. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead.

Receiving stablecoin USDT

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 Linea representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

From Avalanche L1 into Linea L2

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

USDT output identity and receiving

Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on Linea. The recorded Linea 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.

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.

Avalanche source execution

Avalanche is a L1 EVM network in the Avalanche ecosystem. AVAX pays source-side network gas on Avalanche. EVM 0x account address An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits.

Mistakes specific to AVAX Avalanche to USDT Linea

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Avalanche; using a destination that is not valid for Linea; running out of AVAX before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead. 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. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.

Private Route for AVAX → USDT

Avalanche wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Linea wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this AVAX on Avalanche to USDT 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.
