Bridging USDC workflow#

Contracts#

  1. BridgedWrapped USDC (ZKEVM)
    The existing token for USDC in zkEVM, created by the Polygon ZkEVMBridge using the default TokenWrapped ERC20 contract known as USDC.e. It is BWUSDC in the flowchart.

  2. USDC-e (ZKEVM)
    "Native" USDC in ZKEVM known as known as USDC. This contract matches the current USDC contract deployed on Ethereum, with all expected features. The contract address is different from the current "bridge wrapped" USDC in use today, and has the ability to issue and burn tokens as well as "blacklist" addresses. See USDC-e project.

  3. L1Escrow (L1)
    This contract receives layer 1 USDC from users, and triggers the ZKMinterBurner contract on ZKEVM (through the Polygon ZKEVM Bridge) to mint USDC-e. It holds all of the layer 1 backing of USDC-e. It’s also triggered by the Bridge to withdraw layer 1 USDC.

  4. ZKMinterBurner (ZKEVM)
    This contract receives BridgeWrappedUSDC on ZKEVM and mints back USDC-e. It also has a permissionless publicly callable function called "migrate" which withdraws all BridgedWrappedUSDC to layer 1 through the Bridge. The beneficiary address is the L1Escrow, thus migrating the supply and settling the balance.

Extracting ClaimMessage Arguments#

Event details from bridgeToken

  1. After submission of bridgeToken transactions, a BridgeEvent is emitted by the bridge, which contains fields that are required for construction of claims to the bridge.
  2. originNetwork, originAddress, destinationNetwork, destinationAddress, amount and metadata can be used as is for claimMessage. Deposit count will be used in the subsequent step to extract the other details
  3. Samples of BridgeEvent:
    • Emitted from a testnet layer 1 to layer 2 bridgeToken transaction.

bridgeToken testnet tranaction

  • Mainnet
    • Emitted from a Mainnet L1 to L2 bridgeToken transaction.
    • Notices: originNetwork= 0 (Ethereum), destinationNetwork= 3 (X Layer mainnet)

bridgeToken mainnet tranaction

Extraction from backend#

  1. GET request endpoint: https://<env-specific-domain>/priapi/v1/ob/bridge/merkle-proof?net_id=<networkId>&deposit_cnt=<depositCount>

    • Replace <env-specific-domain> with the suitable domains, to access XLayer Bridge Service listed below:
    • Testnet: testrpc.x1.tech
    • Mainnet: rpc.xlayer.tech
      • Replace the <networkId> and <depositCount> with a suitable networkId and depositCount (from bridgeEvent).

Construction of globalIndex#

  1. Layout of globalIndex
     * @param globalIndex Global index is defined as:
     * | 191 bits |    1 bit     |   32 bits   |     32 bits    |
     * |    0     |  mainnetFlag | rollupIndex | localRootIndex |
     //concatenating all of the bits above form the globalIndex
  1. Description
  • mainnetFlag
    • Boolean to represent whether the message originated from layer 1
  • rollUpIndex
    • Index of the rollup, according to the RollupManager if mainnet flag is 0
    • Bridge contract on testnet and mainnet are on different forks, and as such will require different handling
    • Mainnet - Running UB version of the contract, rollupIndex is networkId - 1.
      • E.g. For XLayer mainnet, networkId is 3, rollUpIndex to provide is 2
    • Testnet - Running an older fork of the contract, networkID is 1, but the contract does not verify the exact rollUpIndex
      • E.g. For XLayer testnet, networkId is 1, but the rollUpIndex accepts 0
  • localRootIndex
    • depositCount extracted from step 1.
  1. Examples of globalIndex
  • Testnet
    • layer 1 to layer 2 bridgeToken transaction claim, depositCount of 1103532.
