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.

LINK output identity and receiving

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a quote-selected representation. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
