What you need to know

ETH input identity and handling

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 18 decimal places. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ.

Arbitrum to Scroll L2 handoff

This route crosses two L2 execution environments. Arbitrum settles to ethereum, while Scroll settles to ethereum; each side keeps its own gas balance, token contracts, transaction hash, and settlement progress.

Scroll destination execution

Scroll is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Scroll. EVM 0x account address A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll.

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 Scroll. The Scroll side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Arbitrum source execution

Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval.

EVM-to-EVM execution boundary

Arbitrum and Scroll 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 ETH Arbitrum to LINK Scroll

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Arbitrum; using a destination that is not valid for Scroll; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ. A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll. 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 ETH → LINK

Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Scroll wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ETH on Arbitrum to LINK on Scroll 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.
