What exactly leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) as HYPE?
HYPE is listed as the native representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM); HYPE is used for network gas. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. HyperEVM HYPE can fund source gas and value, but HyperCore balances or positions are not interchangeable deposit inputs.
What exactly arrives on Base as LINK?
LINK is a contract representation on Base at 0x88fb150bdc53a65fe94dea0c9ba0a6daf8c6e196. ETH, not LINK, 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. 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 HYPE to LINK direction matter?
HyperEVM HYPE can fund source gas and value, but HyperCore balances or positions are not interchangeable deposit inputs. 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?
