WETH input identity and handling

WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a quote-selected 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.

AVAX output identity and receiving

Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a quote-selected representation. Native AVAX exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.

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