What you need to know

Sui to Base: object and account boundary

A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Sui and Base use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.

Sui coin-object and SUI gas requirements

SUI is the native gas asset for Sui. Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model Coin objects and Move types are not EVM token contracts.

USDC input versus USDC output representation

The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.

USDC keeps its ticker while changing ledgers

USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Sui. The Sui side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Native USDC exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. The dollar-oriented ticker does not make USDC contracts interchangeable across networks.

Sui to Base bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Sui; using a destination that is not valid for Base; running out of SUI before the source transaction is submitted; assuming other and evm addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract.

Private Route for USDC → USDC

Sui account, object, transaction-effect, and fee activity remain public, and Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Sui to USDC on Base path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a USDC contract token and a USDC contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution. 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 Sui address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Sui, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Base can prevent normal detection or receipt.
