2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Hyperliquid destination network.

3. Create the order

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 Polygon. The recorded Polygon 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

Polygon and Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) 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 Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). The recorded Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) 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.

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) receipt-side execution

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) is a L1 EVM network in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. HYPE pays destination-side network gas on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). EVM 0x account address; confirm the destination is HyperEVM A HyperEVM receipt belongs to its EVM execution state and uses HYPE for later gas; it should not be interpreted as a HyperCore position or vault balance.

Polygon deposit-side execution

Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays source-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1.

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 Polygon. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Polygon to Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for Hyperliquid (HyperEVM); running out of POL before the source transaction is submitted; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. A HyperEVM receipt belongs to its EVM execution state and uses HYPE for later gas; it should not be interpreted as a HyperCore position or vault balance. 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

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

Polygon to Hyperliquid FAQs

What WBTC representation leaves 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 source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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 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 receipt belongs to its EVM execution state and uses HYPE for later gas; it should not be interpreted as a HyperCore position or vault balance. 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 Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. A HyperEVM receipt belongs to its EVM execution state and uses HYPE for later gas; it should not be interpreted as a HyperCore position or vault balance. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.

What destination address should be used?

EVM 0x account address; confirm the destination is HyperEVM Do not substitute a Polygon address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge WBTC from Polygon to Hyperliquid without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live WBTC Polygon to Hyperliquid 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.
