USDC input identity and handling
USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a quote-selected representation. Native USDC exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. 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.
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 token contract; dollar-oriented pricing does not remove issuer controls, liquidity spread, contract, or receiving-network checks.
USDT output identity and receiving
Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a quote-selected representation. The dollar-oriented ticker does not make USDT contracts interchangeable across networks. Confirm whether the output is ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or another USDT standard; a wallet supporting one standard may not credit another.

Verify both asset identities, the selected network, current deposit instructions, and the receiving representation.
USDC source handling versus USDT receipt
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.
