Optimism to Sui: object and account boundary

An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. A Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance. Optimism and Sui 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.

USDC input versus USDT output representation

The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.

USDC and USDT: two stablecoin ledgers

USDC is an issued dollar-oriented stablecoin with canonical, native, and bridged variants across networks. Contract events and issuer controls differ from a network-native gas asset. 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 route changes both asset identity and network representation; dollar-oriented pricing does not remove issuer controls, liquidity spread, contract, or receiving-network checks.

Mistakes specific to USDC Optimism to USDT Sui

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Optimism; using a destination that is not valid for Sui; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and other addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. A Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.

USDC input identity and handling

USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The Optimism side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset.

USDT output identity and receiving

Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on Sui. The recorded Sui 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.

Private Route for USDC → USDT

Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Sui account, object, transaction-effect, and fee activity remain public. For this USDC on Optimism to USDT on Sui path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model; it does not hide either chain's public records.
