How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the USDC asset and Optimism 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

EVM to Solana route mechanics

Optimism uses EVM account addresses and ETH 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.

Solana receipt-side execution

Solana is a L1 SVM network in the Solana ecosystem. SOL pays destination-side network gas on Solana. 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.

Optimism deposit-side execution

Optimism is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Optimism. EVM 0x account address An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay.

Leaving Optimism L2 for Solana L1

Optimism inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on Solana. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.

Choose an asset that exists on both route sides

The live quote lists the exact Optimism input asset and Solana output representation. A shared ticker is not proof of a shared contract, native ledger, decimals, or wallet support.

Optimism to Solana bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Optimism; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees.

Private Route for USDC → USDC

Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this USDC on Optimism to USDC 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.

Optimism to Solana FAQs

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

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

Which asset can travel from Optimism to Solana?

The live route lists assets supported in this direction. Confirm that the selected source representation has an explicit Solana output before depositing.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. 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 Optimism address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge USDC from Optimism to Solana without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live USDC Optimism 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.
