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 WETH is classified as token. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.
WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Scroll. The recorded Scroll 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 source execution occurs on L1, while Scroll delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. POL pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.
Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical.
Scroll is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Scroll. EVM 0x account address A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll.
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 Scroll. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for Scroll; running out of POL before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract; 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. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll. 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 Scroll wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this DAI on Polygon to WETH on Scroll 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.
DAI is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x8f3Cf7ad23Cd3CaDbD9735AFf958023239c6A063. POL, not DAI, 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. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical.
WETH is a contract representation on Scroll with 18 decimals at 0x5300000000000000000000000000000000000004. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. 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.
DAI is the deposited stablecoin input; WETH is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
DAI must match its Polygon representation. A ticker or target price is not enough to identify a token contract.
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 Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll.
Requirements are checked for the live DAI Polygon to WETH Scroll 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.
