What you need to know

AVAX input identity and handling

Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a network-specific contract asset on Linea. The recorded Linea 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.

Leaving Linea L2 for Polygon L1

Linea inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on Polygon. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.

Polygon destination execution

Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays destination-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.

LINK output identity and receiving

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Linea source execution

Linea is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Linea. EVM 0x account address A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones.

EVM-to-EVM execution boundary

Linea and Polygon can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories. The recorded settlement context includes ethereum, so L1 and L2 confirmation behavior should not be assumed identical.

Mistakes specific to AVAX Linea to LINK Polygon

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Linea; using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. 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 Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Private Route for AVAX → LINK

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

Swap AVAX on Linea to LINK on Polygon FAQs

What exactly leaves Linea as AVAX?

AVAX is a contract representation on Linea with 18 decimals at 0x5471ea8f739dd37E9B81Be9c5c77754D8AA953E4. ETH, not AVAX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. 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.

What exactly arrives on Polygon as LINK?

LINK is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x53E0bca35eC356BD5ddDFebbD1Fc0fD03FaBad39. POL, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Why does the AVAX to LINK direction matter?

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. On receipt, LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

What changes between the source and destination asset roles?

AVAX is the deposited native-asset input; LINK is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.

What should be matched before sending AVAX?

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 source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

What funds the Linea source transaction?

ETH is the native gas asset for Linea. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. AVAX is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.

What is the most dangerous wrong-network mistake here?

Sending AVAX on a network other than Linea, or using an address that is not valid for Polygon, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.

Can I swap AVAX on Linea to LINK on Polygon without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Linea to LINK Polygon 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.
