POL input identity and handling

POL (ex-MATIC) is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. POL uses a quote-selected representation. Native POL exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules.

DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable.
