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.
WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH is the destination token on BNB Chain. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
BNB Chain is a L1 EVM network in the BNB Chain ecosystem. BNB pays destination-side network gas on BNB Chain. EVM 0x account address A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas.
WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on BNB Chain. The recorded BNB Chain representation uses 18 decimal places. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
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.
Polygon and BNB Chain can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for BNB Chain; 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. 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 BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and BNB Chain wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this AVAX on Polygon to WETH on BNB Chain 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; it does not hide either chain's public records.
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.
WETH is a contract representation on BNB Chain with 18 decimals at 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. BNB, not WETH, 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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
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, WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
AVAX is the deposited native-asset input; WETH is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
No. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas. 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.
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.
Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Polygon to WETH 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.
