What DAI representation leaves BNB Chain?
DAI is a contract representation on BNB Chain with 18 decimals at 0x1AF3F329e8BE154074D8769D1FFa4eE058B1DBc3. BNB, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20. 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 Arbitrum?
DAI is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0xDA10009cBd5D07dd0CeCc66161FC93D7c9000da1. ETH, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. 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?
A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. 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 BNB Chain address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?
Sending on a network other than BNB Chain, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Arbitrum can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge DAI from BNB Chain to Arbitrum without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live DAI BNB Chain to Arbitrum 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.
