How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the AVAX asset and Polygon network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

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

3. Create the order

Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.

4. Track delivery

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

What you need to know

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

Polygon uses EVM account addresses and POL 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 AVAX contract token 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.

Polygon approval and gas before the handoff

POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. AVAX is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1.

AVAX keeps its ticker while changing ledgers

Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. The Polygon side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. 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 network-specific contract asset. AVAX arrives as a network-specific contract asset.

Polygon to Solana bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of POL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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

Polygon 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 Polygon 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.

Polygon to Solana FAQs

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

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

What AVAX representation leaves Polygon?

AVAX is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x2C89bbc92BD86F8075d1DEcc58C7F4E0107f286b. POL, not AVAX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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 AVAX contract token and a AVAX contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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 Polygon address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Polygon, 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 Polygon to Solana without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Polygon 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.
