Choose the AVAX asset and Avalanche network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Solana destination network.

3. Create the order

4. Track delivery

Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.

What you need to know

Convert the Avalanche 0x input into a Solana-account receipt

Avalanche uses EVM account addresses and AVAX for source gas. Solana uses Solana accounts, transaction signatures, and SOL for destination activity. A 0x address is not a valid substitute for the Solana receiving address shown by the route. AVAX uses native AVAX on the source; AVAX uses AVAX contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for AVAX

Base58-encoded Solana account address A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not AVAX unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Avalanche approval and gas before the handoff

AVAX is the native gas asset for Avalanche. AVAX is a native source balance. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits.

AVAX keeps its ticker while changing ledgers

Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a native asset on Avalanche. The recorded Avalanche representation uses 18 decimal places. Native AVAX exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 8 decimal places. The Solana side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Native AVAX exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. AVAX leaves as a native asset. AVAX arrives as a network-specific contract asset. The ticker remains the same while the ledger representation changes across the route.

Avalanche to Solana bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Avalanche; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of AVAX before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.

Private Route for AVAX → AVAX

Avalanche wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this AVAX on Avalanche to AVAX on Solana path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side Base58-encoded Solana account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

Avalanche to Solana FAQs

Can the Avalanche 0x account be reused as the Solana destination?

No. Base58-encoded Solana account address AVAX pays the EVM source transaction, while SOL is used for later Solana activity.

What AVAX representation leaves Avalanche?

AVAX is listed as the native representation on Avalanche; AVAX is used for network gas. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead.

What AVAX representation arrives on Solana?

AVAX is a contract representation on Solana with 8 decimals at KgV1GvrHQmRBY8sHQQeUKwTm2r2h8t4C8qt12Cw1HVE. SOL, not AVAX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.

Does the same AVAX ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a native AVAX and a AVAX contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.

What destination address should be used?

Base58-encoded Solana account address Do not substitute a Avalanche address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Avalanche, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Solana can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge AVAX from Avalanche to Solana without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Avalanche to Solana 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.
