Ethereum to Sui: object and account boundary

An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. A Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance. Ethereum 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 USDC 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. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.

DAI and USDC: two stablecoin ledgers

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. USDC is an issued dollar-oriented stablecoin with canonical, native, and bridged variants across networks. Contract events and issuer controls differ from a network-native gas asset. The route changes both asset identity and network representation; dollar-oriented pricing does not remove issuer controls, liquidity spread, contract, or receiving-network checks.

Mistakes specific to DAI Ethereum to USDC Sui

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Ethereum; 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. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. 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.

DAI input identity and handling

DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical.

USDC output identity and receiving

USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Sui. The Sui side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.

Private Route for DAI → USDC

Ethereum 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 Ethereum to USDC 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.
