What changes between the Solana source and Optimism 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 Optimism?
USDC is a contract representation on Optimism at 0x0b2c639c533813f4aa9d7837caf62653d097ff85. ETH, not USDC, 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. 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 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.
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 Optimism can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge USDC from Solana to Optimism without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live USDC 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.
