Choose the LINK asset and Solana network you currently hold.
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Optimism destination network.
Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.
Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.
Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while Optimism uses an EVM 0x account and ETH for destination gas. Confirm the destination token contract and do not paste a Solana address into the EVM destination field. LINK is read from its Solana mint or native account, while LINK arrives at the quoted Optimism native or contract representation.
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. 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. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.
EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. 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 Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.
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. Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The Optimism 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.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; 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. 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.

Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public, and Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on Solana to LINK on Optimism 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.
The source uses a Solana signature, mint or native account, and SOL fees. The destination uses a 0x account, ETH gas, and the quoted EVM token contract or native balance.
LINK is a contract representation on Solana at LinkhB3afbBKb2EQQu7s7umdZceV3wcvAUJhQAfQ23L. SOL, not LINK, 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. 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.
LINK is a contract representation on Optimism at 0x350a791bfc2c21f9ed5d10980dad2e2638ffa7f6. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
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.
A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Solana address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
Sending on a network other than Solana, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Optimism can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Requirements are checked for the live LINK Solana to Optimism 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.
