Sui to Optimism: object and account boundary

A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. Sui and Optimism 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.

WETH input versus DAI output representation

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. 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.

Receiving stablecoin DAI

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 Optimism representation. The route converts a token source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

WETH unwrap or exchange input check

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 Sui. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Mistakes specific to WETH Sui to DAI Optimism

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Sui; using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; running out of SUI before the source transaction is submitted; assuming other and evm addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution. 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. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. 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.

WETH input identity and handling

WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Sui. The recorded Sui representation uses 8 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.

DAI output identity and receiving

Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The recorded Optimism 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.

Private Route for WETH → DAI

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