Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.

4. Track delivery

Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.

What you need to know

WBTC source representation

Wrapped Bitcoin is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WBTC uses a wrapped contract asset on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). The recorded Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) representation uses 8 decimal places. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer.

EVM-to-EVM execution boundary

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) and Polygon can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories.

WBTC destination representation

Wrapped Bitcoin is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WBTC uses a wrapped contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 8 decimal places. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.

Polygon receipt-side execution

Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays destination-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) deposit-side execution

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) is a L1 EVM network in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. HYPE pays source-side network gas on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). EVM 0x account address; confirm the destination is HyperEVM A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs.

WBTC unwrap or exchange input check

WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. On this route WBTC is the source token on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) to Polygon bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Hyperliquid (HyperEVM); using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; running out of HYPE before the source transaction is submitted; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.

Private Route for WBTC → WBTC

Hyperliquid wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this WBTC on Hyperliquid to WBTC on Polygon path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address; confirm the destination is HyperEVM and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

Hyperliquid to Polygon FAQs

What WBTC representation leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM)?

WBTC is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) with 8 decimals at 0x0555E30da8f98308EdB960aa94C0Db47230d2B9c. HYPE, not WBTC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer.

What WBTC representation arrives on Polygon?

WBTC is a contract representation on Polygon with 8 decimals at 0x1BFD67037B42Cf73acF2047067bd4F2C47D9BfD6. POL, not WBTC, 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. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.

Does the same WBTC ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

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

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. 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 Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Polygon can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge WBTC from Hyperliquid to Polygon without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live WBTC Hyperliquid 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.
