DAI input identity and handling

Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a quote-selected representation. Native DAI exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical.

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 token contract; dollar-oriented pricing does not remove issuer controls, liquidity spread, contract, or receiving-network checks.

USDC output identity and receiving

USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a quote-selected representation. Native USDC exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
