Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on Linea. The recorded Linea 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.
USDC is an issued dollar-oriented stablecoin with canonical, native, and bridged variants across networks. Contract events and issuer controls differ from a network-native gas asset. 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. Linea settles to ethereum, while Base settles to ethereum; each side keeps its own gas balance, token contracts, transaction hash, and settlement progress.
USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Base. The Base side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
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.
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.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Linea; 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 Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. 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 Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
Linea wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ETH on Linea to USDC 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.
ETH is listed as the native representation on Linea; ETH is used for network gas. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. 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.
USDC is a contract representation on Base at 0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913. ETH, not USDC, 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. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
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. On receipt, The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
ETH is the deposited native-asset input; USDC is the quoted stablecoin output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
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 Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
USDC 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 Linea. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. ETH is recorded as native on this source.
