Sui to Ethereum: 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 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. Sui and Ethereum 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 Sui to USDT Ethereum
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Sui; using a destination that is not valid for Ethereum; 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. 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. 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. 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 Sui. The Sui 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 Ethereum. The Ethereum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.
