What exactly leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) as WBTC?
WBTC is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) with 8 decimals at 0x0555E30da8f98308EdB960aa94C0Db47230d2B9c. HYPE, not WBTC, 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. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer.
What exactly arrives on Ethereum as WETH?
WETH is a contract representation on Ethereum with 18 decimals at 0xb1A7F8b3AdA1Cbd7752c1306725b07D2F8B4e726. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Why does the WBTC to WETH direction matter?
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, WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
WBTC is the deposited wrapped-asset input; WETH is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
What should be matched before sending WBTC?
WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs.

Can the wrapped asset pay native network gas?
