What exactly leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) as ETH?
ETH is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) with 18 decimals at 0x1fbcCdc677c10671eE50b46C61F0f7d135112450. HYPE, not ETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. 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.
What exactly arrives on Optimism as LINK?
LINK is a contract representation on Optimism at 0x350a791bfc2c21f9ed5d10980dad2e2638ffa7f6. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
Why does the ETH to LINK direction matter?
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, LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
ETH is the deposited native-asset input; LINK is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
What should be matched before sending ETH?
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 HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
What funds the Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) source transaction?
HYPE is the native gas asset for Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. ETH is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
What is the most dangerous wrong-network mistake here?
Sending ETH on a network other than Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), or using an address that is not valid for Optimism, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Can I swap ETH on Hyperliquid to LINK on OP Mainnet without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live ETH Hyperliquid to LINK OP Mainnet 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.
