I’ve tried to use the [bridge](https://alpha.fuel.network/bridge/?from=eth&to=fuel) to transfer some ETH from Ethereum Sepolia network to Fuel’s beta-4. I see the change in the balance of the fuel account, but I don’t see the transaction.

This can be demonstrated on the account [fuel1g4cqzn3cg2v5d5rj96t7r3y0qayl9qdq2mmhq8m5upr7wry2ykaq8gdnw3](https://fuel-explorer.vercel.app/account/0x4570014e38429946d0722e97e1c48f0749f281a056f7701f74e047e70c8a25ba/transactions).

According to the explorer, it doesn’t have any transactions, but has a balance of 0.0001 ETH, which was bridged from Sepolia network.

Here’s the transaction on Sepolia: [0x7fbcaeb09717f2f51a62710e4c0cdd354139794102c2f83dee1eae6ee7be9ad1](https://sepolia.etherscan.io/tx/0x7fbcaeb09717f2f51a62710e4c0cdd354139794102c2f83dee1eae6ee7be9ad1)

Hi there!  
Depositing ETH do not create a transaction on Fuel but a MessageCoin.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks! Where can I read about this? I thought that all asset transfers should be done via transactions

The base asset (asset\_id == 0x0000…) does not require transaction, it just deposits a utxo into their account directly.

I couldn’t find any specific reference for this so I’m adding this to the backlog.

Thanks
