What exactly leaves Base as USDT?
USDT is a contract representation on Base with 6 decimals at 0xfde4C96c8593536E31F229EA8f37b2ADa2699bb2. ETH, not USDT, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior.
What exactly arrives on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) as LINK?
LINK is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) at 0x1ac2ee68b8d038c982c1e1f73f596927dd70de59. HYPE, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A HyperEVM receipt belongs to its EVM execution state and uses HYPE for later gas; it should not be interpreted as a HyperCore position or vault balance.
