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.

ETH output identity and receiving

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a quote-selected representation. Native ETH exists on multiple recorded origin networks; other network forms require representation checks. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.

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.

Mistakes specific to WETH to ETH

the selected source network addresses, transfers, amounts, fees, and timing remain public, and Ethereum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this WETH on the selected source network to ETH on Ethereum path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side the selected source network address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
