How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the LINK 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. LINK uses LINK contract token on the source; LINK uses LINK contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for LINK

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. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not LINK unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Polygon approval and gas before the handoff

POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. LINK 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.

LINK keeps its ticker while changing ledgers

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK 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. Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The Solana side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK leaves as a network-specific contract asset. LINK 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. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Private Route for LINK → LINK

Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this LINK on Polygon to LINK 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 LINK representation leaves Polygon?

LINK is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x53E0bca35eC356BD5ddDFebbD1Fc0fD03FaBad39. POL, not LINK, 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. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract.

What LINK representation arrives on Solana?

LINK is a contract representation on Solana at LinkhB3afbBKb2EQQu7s7umdZceV3wcvAUJhQAfQ23L. SOL, not LINK, 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. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Does the same LINK ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a LINK contract token and a LINK 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 LINK from Polygon to Solana without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live LINK 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.
