Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on zkSync Era. The zkSync Era 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.
zkSync Era inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on BNB Chain. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.
BNB Chain is a L1 EVM network in the BNB Chain ecosystem. BNB pays destination-side network gas on BNB Chain. EVM 0x account address A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas.
Arbitrum is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. ARB uses a network-specific contract asset on BNB Chain. The recorded BNB Chain representation uses 18 decimal places. A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.
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.
zkSync Era and BNB Chain 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 zkSync Era; using a destination that is not valid for BNB Chain; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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 BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.
zkSync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and BNB Chain wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on zkSync Era to ARB on BNB Chain 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 zkSync Era at 0x52869bae3e091e36b0915941577f2d47d8d8b534. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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.
ARB is a contract representation on BNB Chain with 18 decimals at 0x0acdb582C1d5512Ea31fD64b9C07882CB31E494D. BNB, not ARB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.
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, A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.
LINK is the deposited token input; ARB 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. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum.

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. LINK is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Sending LINK on a network other than zkSync Era, or using an address that is not valid for BNB Chain, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Requirements are checked for the live LINK zkSync to ARB BSC 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.
