Receiving stablecoin DAI

DAI output identity and receiving

Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a quote-selected representation. Native DAI exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. 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 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. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
