What exactly leaves Arbitrum as POL?
POL is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0x044d8e7F3A17751D521efEa8CCf9282268fE08CC. ETH, not POL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules.
What exactly arrives on Polygon as DAI?
DAI is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x8f3Cf7ad23Cd3CaDbD9735AFf958023239c6A063. POL, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.
Why does the POL to DAI direction matter?
Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. On receipt, The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
POL is the deposited token input; DAI is the quoted stablecoin output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
What should be matched before sending POL?
Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.
Which stablecoin contract must this route match?
DAI must match the quoted Polygon representation. A ticker or target price is not enough to identify a token contract.
What funds the Arbitrum source transaction?
ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. POL is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Can I swap POL on Arbitrum to DAI on Polygon without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live POL Arbitrum to DAI 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.
