What DAI representation leaves Arbitrum?
DAI is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0xDA10009cBd5D07dd0CeCc66161FC93D7c9000da1. ETH, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical.
What DAI representation arrives on Base?
DAI is a contract representation on Base with 18 decimals at 0x50c5725949A6F0c72E6C4a641F24049A917DB0Cb. ETH, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.
Does the same DAI ticker guarantee the same ledger form?
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a DAI contract token and a DAI contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.
Which gas balances matter for this bridge?
On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.
What destination address should be used?
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Arbitrum address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
