Why this matters on Linea
The cheapest-looking quote is not always the cheapest completed transaction. Compare source gas, bridge fees, destination costs, price impact, and the amount you actually expect to receive.
Linea is an Ethereum scaling network with its own balances, applications and token representations.
Linea is part of the Ethereum scaling ecosystem. The same ticker can exist on Ethereum and on Linea as separate token contracts, so a balance seen on one network cannot be assumed to exist, or to be redeemable at the same value, on the other.
Linea: what to pay attention to
- Costs: Evaluate network gas together with any bridge or liquidity costs.
