What you need to know

AVAX input identity and handling

Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. 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.

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) destination 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.

LINK output identity and receiving

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). The Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Polygon source 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.

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.

Mistakes specific to AVAX Polygon to LINK Hyperliquid (HyperEVM)

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. 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. 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. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Private Route for AVAX → LINK

Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this AVAX on Polygon to LINK on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) 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.

Swap AVAX on Polygon to LINK on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) FAQs

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 Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) as LINK?

LINK is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) at 0x1ac2ee68b8d038c982c1e1f73f596927dd70de59. HYPE, not LINK, 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. 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 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. 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 Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.

Can I swap AVAX on Polygon to LINK on Hyperliquid without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Polygon to LINK 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.
