What exactly leaves Polygon as AVAX?
AVAX is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x2C89bbc92BD86F8075d1DEcc58C7F4E0107f286b. POL, not AVAX, 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. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead.
What exactly arrives on BNB Chain as LINK?
LINK is a contract representation on BNB Chain at 0xf8a0bf9cf54bb92f17374d9e9a321e6a111a51bd. BNB, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
Why does the AVAX to LINK direction matter?
On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead. On receipt, LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
AVAX is the deposited native-asset input; LINK is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
What should be matched before sending AVAX?
On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
What funds the Polygon source transaction?
POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. AVAX is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
What is the most dangerous wrong-network mistake here?
Sending AVAX on a network other than Polygon, or using an address that is not valid for BNB Chain, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Can I swap AVAX on Polygon to LINK on BSC without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Polygon to LINK BSC 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.
