Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on Base. The recorded Base representation uses 18 decimal places. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ.
WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Base. The recorded Base 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.
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 Base. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
Base is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Base. EVM 0x account address 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.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Base; using a destination that is not valid for Base; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. 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. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ETH on Base to WETH on Base 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.
ETH is listed as the native representation on Base; ETH is used for network gas. 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. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ.
WETH is a contract representation on Base with 18 decimals at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ. 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.
ETH is the deposited native-asset input; WETH is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ. 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 Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
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 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 Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base.
ETH is the native gas asset for Base. 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. ETH is recorded as native on this source.
Requirements are checked for the live ETH Base to WETH Base 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.
