What exactly leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) as USDT?
USDT is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) with 18 decimals at 0xD948F78d3316228aF5DfE2576A64Fd822CE08888. HYPE, not USDT, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior.

WETH is a contract representation on Optimism with 18 decimals at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same.
