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 Optimism. The recorded Optimism 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 DAI

DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. The destination wallet must support the exact Scroll representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

Optimism to Scroll L2 handoff

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

DAI output identity and receiving

Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a network-specific contract asset on Scroll. The recorded Scroll representation uses 18 decimal places. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

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.

Optimism source execution

Optimism is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Optimism. EVM 0x account address An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay.

Mistakes specific to ETH Optimism to DAI Scroll

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Optimism; using a destination that is not valid for Scroll; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. 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. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

Private Route for ETH → DAI

Optimism 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 Optimism to DAI 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.

On receipt, The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

What changes between the source and destination asset roles?

ETH is the deposited native-asset input; DAI is the quoted stablecoin output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.

What should be matched before sending ETH?

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. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay.
