Sui to Optimism: object and account boundary
A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. Sui and Optimism use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.
Sui coin-object and SUI gas requirements
SUI is the native gas asset for Sui. Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model Coin objects and Move types are not EVM token contracts.
SUI input versus USDT output representation
Native SUI is selected from Sui coin objects and can fund gas; tokenized SUI outside Sui does not use the object model. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
Receiving stablecoin USDT
USDT is issued through ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, and other network-specific contracts. The ticker does not determine the token standard, contract, issuer controls, or destination address model. The destination wallet must support the exact Optimism representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.
Mistakes specific to SUI Sui to USDT Optimism
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Sui; using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; running out of SUI before the source transaction is submitted; assuming other and evm addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution. Native SUI is selected from Sui coin objects and can fund gas; tokenized SUI outside Sui does not use the object model. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
SUI input identity and handling
Sui is classified as a native asset for this route. SUI uses a native asset on Sui. The Sui side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Native SUI is selected from Sui coin objects and can fund gas; tokenized SUI outside Sui does not use the object model.
USDT output identity and receiving
Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The recorded Optimism representation uses 6 decimal places. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
