ETH input identity and handling

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.

Receiving stablecoin USDC

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 zkSync Era representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

Linea to zkSync Era L2 handoff

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

USDC output identity and receiving

USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on zkSync Era. The zkSync Era 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.

zkSync Era destination execution

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.

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.

Mistakes specific to ETH Linea to USDC zkSync Era

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Linea; using a destination that is not valid for zkSync Era; 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 zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.

Private Route for ETH → USDC

Linea 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 ETH on Linea to USDC 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.
