Bridging guide

How to bridge to zkSync

What cross-chain transfers involving zkSync look like and what to verify. TorrentSwap does not currently offer a live zkSync route.

What is zkSync?

An Ethereum layer-2 network that uses zero-knowledge rollup technology. Addresses: The same 0x format as Ethereum.

How bridging to zkSync works

A cross-chain bridge coordinates an event on a source network with an event on zkSync. Designs can lock and mint, burn and mint, or use liquidity on both networks. Each model has different custody, smart-contract, token and recovery assumptions.

Your options for bridging to zkSync

TorrentSwap does not execute a zkSync route. Consult official zkSync documentation to identify supported transfer methods, then verify the URL, networks, token contract, custody model and recovery process independently.

Ways to bridge to zkSync

zkSync Portal (official bridge) (https://portal.zksync.io/bridge): Deposit ETH and supported tokens from Ethereum to zkSync Era; withdrawals take longer than deposits. Third-party liquidity bridges (https://docs.zksync.io/zksync-era/environment/bridges): zkSync lists liquidity bridges that move funds from other L2s in minutes instead of routing through Ethereum.

Before you bridge to zkSync

zkSync Era uses the same 0x addresses as Ethereum, so a wallet like MetaMask works on both — but you must switch the network before sending, or the funds land on the wrong chain. Withdrawals from zkSync back to Ethereum through the official bridge are not instant: they wait for the batch to be proven and executed on Ethereum, which can take around a day.

Staying safe when you bridge

Verify the exact URL, source and destination networks, asset contract and destination address. Do not assume that a correctly formatted address supports the selected token, or that an unsupported transfer can be recovered. Never share a seed phrase, private key or wallet password.

Networks TorrentSwap does serve

Live routes currently cover 17 networks: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Tron, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Zcash, NEAR and Cardano. If one of them works for you, the bridge pages for those networks have a live swap box.

Frequently asked questions

Does TorrentSwap support bridging to zkSync?

No. TorrentSwap has no zkSync route today. This page is educational and is not a statement of availability.

How should I choose a way to bridge to zkSync?

Start from official zkSync documentation to find supported transfer methods, then verify the exact URL, token contract, custody model and recovery process before sending anything.

Is bridging to zkSync safe?

No bridge is categorically safe. Risks include smart-contract faults, compromised operators, token or liquidity problems, wrong-network transfers and phishing. Understand the specific route before using it.
