How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the AVAX asset and Solana network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Avalanche 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

Move from a Solana account into Avalanche EVM

Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while Avalanche uses an EVM 0x account and AVAX for destination gas. Confirm the destination token contract and do not paste a Solana address into the EVM destination field. AVAX is read from its Solana mint or native account, while AVAX arrives at the quoted Avalanche native or contract representation.

AVAX mint and SOL fee checks

Base58-encoded Solana account address SOL is the native gas asset for Solana. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.

Avalanche contract and 0x receiving checks

EVM 0x account address AVAX is the native gas asset for Avalanche. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

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 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. 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. AVAX leaves as a network-specific contract asset. AVAX arrives as a native asset. The ticker remains the same while the ledger representation changes across the route.

Solana to Avalanche bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for Avalanche; running out of SOL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming solana and evm addresses are interchangeable. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. 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

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

Solana to Avalanche FAQs

What changes between the Solana source and Avalanche receipt?

The source uses a Solana signature, mint or native account, and SOL fees. The destination uses a 0x account, AVAX gas, and the quoted EVM token contract or native balance.

What AVAX representation leaves 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 source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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 Avalanche?

AVAX is listed as the native representation on Avalanche; AVAX is used for network gas. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. 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 native AVAX. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.

What destination address should be used?

EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Solana address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge AVAX from Solana to Avalanche without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Solana to Avalanche 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.
