Wrapped Bitcoin is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WBTC uses a wrapped contract asset on Base. The Base side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer.
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 destination wallet must support the exact Base representation. The route converts a wrapped-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.
Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a network-specific contract asset on Base. The recorded Base 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.
WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. On this route WBTC is the source token on Base. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
Base is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Base. EVM 0x account address 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.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Base; using a destination that is not valid for Base; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. 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. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. 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.
Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this WBTC on Base to DAI on Base 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.
WBTC is a contract representation on Base at 0x0555e30da8f98308edb960aa94c0db47230d2b9c. ETH, not WBTC, 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. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer.
DAI is a contract representation on Base with 18 decimals at 0x50c5725949A6F0c72E6C4a641F24049A917DB0Cb. ETH, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. 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.
WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. On receipt, 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.
WBTC is the deposited wrapped-asset input; DAI is the quoted stablecoin output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. 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. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. 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.
DAI must match the quoted Base representation. A ticker or target price is not enough to identify a token contract.
No. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. 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. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base.
