zkSync Era to Sui: object and account boundary

A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. A Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance. zkSync Era and Sui use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.

Sui coin-object and SUI gas requirements

SUI is the native gas asset for Sui. Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model Coin objects and Move types are not EVM token contracts.

USDC input versus ETH output representation

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. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.

Converting stablecoin USDC into ETH

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 ETH is classified as native-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

Mistakes specific to USDC zkSync Era to ETH Sui

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than zkSync Era; using a destination that is not valid for Sui; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and other addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract.

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 Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance.

ETH output identity and receiving

Private Route for USDC → ETH

zkSync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Sui account, object, transaction-effect, and fee activity remain public. For this USDC on zkSync Era to ETH on Sui path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model; it does not hide either chain's public records.
