Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while zkSync Era uses an EVM 0x account and ETH for destination gas. Confirm the destination token contract and do not paste a Solana address into the EVM destination field. USDC is read from its Solana mint or native account, while LINK arrives at the quoted zkSync Era native or contract representation.
Base58-encoded Solana account address SOL is the native gas asset for Solana. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.
EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for zkSync Era. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.
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 source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while LINK is classified as token. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for zkSync Era; running out of SOL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming solana and evm addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The Solana side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset.
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 arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public, and zkSync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Solana to LINK on zkSync Era path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side Base58-encoded Solana account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
No. EVM 0x account address The LINK output belongs to the quoted EVM representation.
SOL pays source fees on Solana. ETH pays later transactions on zkSync Era; the delivered LINK does not replace that gas balance unless it is the native asset.
USDC is a contract representation on Solana at EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v. SOL, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset.
LINK is a contract representation on zkSync Era at 0x52869bae3e091e36b0915941577f2d47d8d8b534. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. On receipt, LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
USDC is the deposited stablecoin input; LINK is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
Requirements are checked for the live USDC Solana to LINK zkSync 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.
