What exactly leaves Arbitrum as DAI?
DAI is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0xDA10009cBd5D07dd0CeCc66161FC93D7c9000da1. ETH, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same.

What exactly arrives on Ethereum as LINK?
LINK is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract.
