USDT is issued through ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, and other network-specific contracts. The ticker does not determine the token standard, contract, issuer controls, or destination address model. 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.
Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on Base. The recorded Base representation uses 18 decimal places. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
Linea is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Linea. EVM 0x account address A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones.
This route crosses two L2 execution environments. Linea settles to ethereum, while Base settles to ethereum; each side keeps its own gas balance, token contracts, transaction hash, and settlement progress.
Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on Linea. The recorded Linea representation uses 6 decimal places. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior.
Base is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Base. EVM 0x account address A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Linea; using a destination that is not valid for Base; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
Linea wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDT on Linea to ETH on Base 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.
USDT is a contract representation on Linea with 6 decimals at 0xA219439258ca9da29E9Cc4cE5596924745e12B93. ETH, not USDT, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior.
ETH is listed as the native representation on Base; ETH is used for network gas. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. On receipt, Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
USDT is the deposited stablecoin input; ETH is the quoted native-asset output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
USDT must match its Linea representation. A ticker or target price is not enough to identify a token contract.
ETH is the native gas asset for Linea. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. USDT is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Requirements are checked for the live USDT Linea to ETH Base 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.
