Sui to Solana: 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. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Sui and Solana 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.
USDT input versus LINK output representation
The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
Converting stablecoin USDT into LINK
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 source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while LINK is classified as token. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.
Mistakes specific to USDT Sui to LINK Solana
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Sui; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of SUI before the source transaction is submitted; assuming other and solana 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 input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
USDT input identity and handling
Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on Sui. The recorded Sui representation uses 6 decimal places. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior.
LINK output identity and receiving
Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The Solana side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
