WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 18 decimal places. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer.
Arbitrum inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on Polygon. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.
WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH is the source token on Arbitrum. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays destination-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.
BNB is classified as a native asset for this route. BNB uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval.
Arbitrum and Polygon can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories. The recorded settlement context includes ethereum, so L1 and L2 confirmation behavior should not be assumed identical.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Arbitrum; using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this WETH on Arbitrum to BNB on Polygon 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.
WETH is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer.
BNB is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x5c4b7CCBF908E64F32e12c6650ec0C96d717f03F. POL, not BNB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. On receipt, Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
WETH is the deposited token input; BNB is the quoted native-asset output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
No. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.
ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. WETH is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
Requirements are checked for the live WETH Arbitrum to BNB Polygon quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
