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 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?
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. 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 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 Base can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge DAI from BNB Chain to Base without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live DAI BNB Chain to Base 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.
