zkSyncBase

Network-specific checks before a cross-chain transaction.

zkSync and Base have separate network contexts. A cross-chain route must account for the source environment, destination environment and the mechanism used to transfer or represent the asset.

Route Intelligence

Source network

zkSync: zkSync is an Ethereum scaling ecosystem with its own network context and token representations.

Destination network

Base: Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 environment with its own network balances, applications and token representations.

Asset considerations

On the source side, Verify the asset contract on zkSync before assuming it matches another network. On the destination side, Verify the token contract on Base and do not rely on ticker or logo alone.

Fee considerations

Compare network fees with bridge and liquidity costs for the complete route. On Base, Consider Base transaction costs together with bridge and route costs when moving small balances.

Before You Bridge

  • Source: confirm the asset is actually held on zkSync.
  • Destination: confirm the wallet and destination network.
  • Token: verify the exact asset representation rather than relying on ticker or logo.
  • Costs: compare gas, bridge fees, liquidity, price impact and the final received amount.
  • Security: Check the active network, contract and destination before signing. At the destination, Use trusted interfaces and verify destination network and token before signing.
Never use a seed phrase or private key to complete a bridge. A legitimate bridge flow should not require either.

Use the Live Bridge Tool

When a live route is available, open Dust Sweeper and review the current quote immediately before signing. Route availability, liquidity and network conditions can change.
