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 quote-selected representation. 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.

WBTC output identity and receiving

Wrapped Bitcoin is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WBTC uses a quote-selected representation. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.

WBTC wrapped-token output check

WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. On this route WBTC is the destination token. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
