Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon 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.
Polygon source execution occurs on L1, while zkSync Era delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. POL pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.
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.
Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on zkSync Era. The recorded zkSync Era representation uses 18 decimal places. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays source-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1.
Polygon and zkSync Era 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.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for zkSync Era; running out of POL before the source transaction is submitted. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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 zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
Polygon 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 AVAX on Polygon to ETH 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.
AVAX is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x2C89bbc92BD86F8075d1DEcc58C7F4E0107f286b. POL, not AVAX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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.
ETH is listed as the native representation on zkSync Era; ETH is used for network gas. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
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, Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
AVAX is the deposited native-asset input; ETH is the quoted native-asset output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
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 source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. AVAX is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Sending AVAX on a network other than Polygon, or using an address that is not valid for zkSync Era, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Polygon to ETH 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.
