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 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 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?
HYPE 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 HYPE?
