Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Ethereum. The Ethereum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract.
Ethereum source execution occurs on L1, while Linea delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. ETH pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.
WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH is the destination token on Linea. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
Linea is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Linea. EVM 0x account address A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract.
WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Linea. The recorded Linea representation uses 18 decimal places. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Ethereum is a L1 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Ethereum. EVM 0x account address An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit.
Ethereum and Linea 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.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Ethereum; using a destination that is not valid for Linea; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract. A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Ethereum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Linea wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on Ethereum to WETH on Linea 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.
LINK is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract.
WETH is a contract representation on Linea with 18 decimals at 0xe5D7C2a44FfDDf6b295A15c148167daaAf5Cf34f. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract. On receipt, WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
LINK is the deposited token input; WETH is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
No. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract.
ETH is the native gas asset for Ethereum. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. LINK is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Requirements are checked for the live LINK Ethereum to WETH Linea 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.
