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 ETH is classified as native-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

ETH output identity and receiving

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a network-specific contract asset on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). The recorded Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) representation uses 18 decimal places. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.

zkSync Era source execution

zkSync Era is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on zkSync Era. EVM 0x account address A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum.

USDT input identity and handling

The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior.

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) destination execution

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) is a L1 EVM network in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. HYPE pays destination-side network gas on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). EVM 0x account address; confirm the destination is HyperEVM 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.
