Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on Optimism. The recorded Optimism 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.
Optimism inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on Polygon. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.
Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays destination-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.
POL (ex-MATIC) is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. POL uses a native asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
Optimism is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Optimism. EVM 0x account address An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay.
Optimism and Polygon can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories. The recorded settlement context includes ethereum, so L1 and L2 confirmation behavior should not be assumed identical.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Optimism; using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. 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 Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ETH on Optimism to POL on Polygon 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 Optimism; ETH is used for network gas. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. 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.
POL is listed as the native representation on Polygon; POL is used for network gas. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
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, On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
ETH is the deposited native-asset input; POL 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. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. ETH is recorded as native on this source.
Sending ETH on a network other than Optimism, or using an address that is not valid for Polygon, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Requirements are checked for the live ETH OP Mainnet to POL Polygon 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.
