What exactly leaves Ethereum as POL?
POL is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6. ETH, not POL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. 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 Ethereum as LINK?
LINK is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. 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 POL to LINK 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, 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?
POL is the deposited token 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 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. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. 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 funds the Ethereum source transaction?
ETH is the native gas asset for Ethereum. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. POL is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Can I swap POL on Ethereum to LINK on Ethereum without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live POL Ethereum to LINK Ethereum 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.
