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 Polygon?
DAI is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x8f3Cf7ad23Cd3CaDbD9735AFf958023239c6A063. POL, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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 Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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.
What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?
Sending on a network other than Arbitrum, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Polygon can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge DAI from Arbitrum to Polygon without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live DAI Arbitrum to Polygon quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
