Base to Sui: object and account boundary

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 Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance. Base and Sui 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.

WBTC input versus ETH output representation

WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.

WBTC unwrap or exchange input check

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.

Mistakes specific to WBTC Base to ETH Sui

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Base; using a destination that is not valid for Sui; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and other addresses are interchangeable; 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 Sui receipt creates or updates Move coin objects at a Sui address; later object operations require SUI gas rather than an EVM allowance. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.

WBTC input identity and handling

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.

ETH output identity and receiving

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a network-specific contract asset on Sui. The recorded Sui representation uses 8 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.

Private Route for WBTC → ETH

Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Sui account, object, transaction-effect, and fee activity remain public. For this WBTC on Base to ETH on Sui path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model; it does not hide either chain's public records.
