Choose the WETH asset and Solana network you currently hold.
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Base 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 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. WETH is read from its Solana mint or native account, while WETH arrives at the quoted Base 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. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.
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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.
WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 9 decimal places. The Solana side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Base. The recorded Base representation uses 18 decimal places. The Base side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. WETH leaves as a wrapped contract asset. WETH arrives as a wrapped contract asset.
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; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public, and Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this WETH on Solana to WETH 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.
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.
WETH is a contract representation on Solana with 9 decimals at AaAEw2VCw1XzgvKB8Rj2DyK2ZVau9fbt2bE8hZFWsMyE. SOL, not WETH, 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. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer.
WETH is a contract representation on Base with 18 decimals at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006. ETH, not WETH, 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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a WETH wrapped token and a WETH wrapped 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. 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.
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 Base can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Requirements are checked for the live WETH 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.
