USDT and DAI: two stablecoin ledgers

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. DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. The route changes both asset identity and network representation; dollar-oriented pricing does not remove issuer controls, liquidity spread, contract, or receiving-network checks.

USDT input identity and handling

Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on Avalanche. The Avalanche side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior.

DAI output identity and receiving

Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a network-specific contract asset on Scroll. The recorded Scroll representation uses 18 decimal places. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

From Avalanche L1 into Scroll L2

Avalanche source execution occurs on L1, while Scroll delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. AVAX pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.

Avalanche source execution

Avalanche is a L1 EVM network in the Avalanche ecosystem. AVAX pays source-side network gas on Avalanche. EVM 0x account address An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits.

Scroll destination execution

Scroll is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Scroll. EVM 0x account address A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll.

Mistakes specific to USDT Avalanche to DAI Scroll

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Avalanche; using a destination that is not valid for Scroll; running out of AVAX before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

Private Route for USDT → DAI

Avalanche wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Scroll wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDT on Avalanche to DAI on Scroll path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
