How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the SOL asset and Solana network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Base 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 Base EVM

Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while Base 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. SOL is read from its Solana mint or native account, while SOL arrives at the quoted Base native or contract representation.

SOL 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. Native SOL leaves a Solana account through a signed transaction and pays the fee; wrapped or tokenized SOL uses a token account or external contract instead. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.

Base contract and 0x receiving checks

EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for Base. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

SOL keeps its ticker while changing ledgers

Solana is classified as a native asset for this route. SOL uses a native asset on Solana. Native SOL exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. Solana is classified as a native asset for this route. SOL uses a network-specific contract asset on Base. The recorded Base representation uses 9 decimal places. The Base side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Native SOL exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. SOL leaves as a native asset. SOL arrives as a network-specific contract asset. The ticker remains the same while the ledger representation changes across the route.

Solana to Base bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for Base; 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. Native SOL leaves a Solana account through a signed transaction and pays the fee; wrapped or tokenized SOL uses a token account or external contract instead. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.

Private Route for SOL → SOL

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

What changes between the Solana source and Base receipt?

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.

What SOL representation leaves Solana?

SOL is listed as the native representation on Solana; SOL is used for network gas. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. Native SOL leaves a Solana account through a signed transaction and pays the fee; wrapped or tokenized SOL uses a token account or external contract instead.

What SOL representation arrives on Base?

SOL is a contract representation on Base with 9 decimals at 0x311935Cd80B76769bF2ecC9D8Ab7635b2139cf82. ETH, not SOL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.

Does the same SOL ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a native SOL and a SOL contract token. 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. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. 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 Base can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge SOL from Solana to Base without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live SOL Solana to Base 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.
