BNB is classified as a native asset for this route. BNB uses a network-specific contract asset on zkSync Era. The recorded zkSync Era representation uses 18 decimal places. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling.
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 Base representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.
This route crosses two L2 execution environments. zkSync Era settles to ethereum, while Base 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 Base. The recorded Base 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.
Base is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Base. EVM 0x account address A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base.
zkSync Era is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on zkSync Era. EVM 0x account address A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than zkSync Era; using a destination that is not valid for Base; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. 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 wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this BNB on zkSync Era to USDT on Base 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.
BNB is a contract representation on zkSync Era with 18 decimals at 0x7400793aAd94C8CA801aa036357d10F5Fd0ce08f. ETH, not BNB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling.
USDT is a contract representation on Base with 6 decimals at 0xfde4C96c8593536E31F229EA8f37b2ADa2699bb2. ETH, not USDT, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling. 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.
BNB is the deposited native-asset input; USDT is the quoted stablecoin output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. 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 Base representation. A ticker or target price is not enough to identify a token contract.
ETH is the native gas asset for zkSync Era. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. BNB is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Requirements are checked for the live BNB zkSync to USDT Base 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.
