Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on zkSync Era. The recorded zkSync Era 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 Avalanche representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.
zkSync Era inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on Avalanche. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.
USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Avalanche. The Avalanche 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.
Avalanche is a L1 EVM network in the Avalanche ecosystem. AVAX pays destination-side network gas on Avalanche. EVM 0x account address An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract.
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 Avalanche; 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 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 Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
zkSync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Avalanche wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ETH on zkSync Era to USDC on Avalanche 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 zkSync Era; ETH is used for network gas. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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 Avalanche at 0xb97ef9ef8734c71904d8002f8b6bc66dd9c48a6e. AVAX, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. 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 zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. 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 Avalanche 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. ETH is recorded as native on this source.
Requirements are checked for the live ETH zkSync to USDC Avalanche 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.
