Base to Sui: object and account boundary

A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. A Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance. Base and Sui use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.

Sui coin-object and SUI gas requirements

SUI is the native gas asset for Sui. Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model Coin objects and Move types are not EVM token contracts.

DAI input versus SUI output representation

DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. Native SUI receipt creates Sui coin objects that can fund later gas. A smart-contract token outside Sui does not become a native object.

Converting stablecoin DAI into SUI

DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. The source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while SUI is classified as native-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

Mistakes specific to DAI Base to SUI Sui

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Base; using a destination that is not valid for Sui; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and other addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. A Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance. Native SUI receipt creates Sui coin objects that can fund later gas. A smart-contract token outside Sui does not become a native object.

SUI output identity and receiving

Sui is classified as a native asset for this route. SUI uses a native asset on Sui. The Sui side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Native SUI receipt creates Sui coin objects that can fund later gas. A smart-contract token outside Sui does not become a native object.

Private Route for DAI → SUI

Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Sui account, object, transaction-effect, and fee activity remain public. For this DAI on Base to SUI on Sui path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model; it does not hide either chain's public records.
