What you need to know

LINK input identity and handling

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). The Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract.

Receiving stablecoin USDT

USDT is issued through ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, and other network-specific contracts. The ticker does not determine the token standard, contract, issuer controls, or destination address model. The destination wallet must support the exact Base representation. The route converts a token source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

From Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) L1 into Base L2

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) source execution occurs on L1, while Base delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. HYPE pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.

USDT output identity and receiving

Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on Base. The recorded Base representation uses 6 decimal places. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.

Base destination execution

Base is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Base. EVM 0x account address A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base.

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) source execution

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) is a L1 EVM network in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. HYPE pays source-side network gas on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). EVM 0x account address; confirm the destination is HyperEVM A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs.

Mistakes specific to LINK Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) to USDT Base

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Hyperliquid (HyperEVM); using a destination that is not valid for Base; running out of HYPE before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.

Private Route for LINK → USDT

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) to USDT on Base path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address; confirm the destination is HyperEVM and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
