What changes between the Solana source and Arbitrum 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 USDC representation leaves Solana?
USDC is a contract representation on Solana at EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v. SOL, not USDC, 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. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset.
What USDC representation arrives on Arbitrum?
USDC is a contract representation on Arbitrum at 0xaf88d065e77c8cc2239327c5edb3a432268e5831. ETH, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
Does the same USDC ticker guarantee the same ledger form?
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a USDC contract token and a USDC 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. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. 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 Arbitrum can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge USDC from Solana to Arbitrum without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live USDC Solana to Arbitrum 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.
