Privacy for the Ethereum to Solana direction
Where offered, Private Route is intended to reduce an obvious direct association between the Ethereum sending wallet and Solana receiving wallet; it does not hide either blockchain. ETH is the native gas asset for Ethereum. EVM 0x account address SOL is the native gas asset for Solana. Base58-encoded Solana account address Similar amounts, timing, address reuse, and later consolidation can still add association signals. Identity requirements must be checked separately.
Ethereum source-side visibility
Ethereum exposes account history, token approvals, contract calls, logs, gas funding, amounts, and timing under its own chain identifier. It is the settlement-layer EVM network for this inventory. ERC-20 transfers can require a separate approval, base fee and priority fee affect source cost, and an L1 token contract does not establish an L2 representation. The source deposit, gas funding, asset representation, confirmations, and sending-address history remain outside any promise of invisibility.
Solana destination-side visibility
Solana exposes account keys, transaction signatures, token-account changes, program calls, amounts, fees, and timing. It uses an account-and-program execution model with transaction signatures rather than EVM hashes. SPL tokens use mint and token-account records, and a receiving wallet may need the correct associated token account plus SOL for later activity. The destination delivery and later activity can remain observable even when the provider path reduces a direct association.
Ethereum deposit role versus Solana receipt role
An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. Those deposit-side events remain public. 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 receipt and later activity remain public.
Public EVM deposit and public Solana delivery
Ethereum exposes the 0x sender, gas, approvals, and deposit event. Solana exposes the receiving accounts, mint changes, program calls, signature, SOL fee, and later activity. Private Route does not make either record disappear.
WETH wrapper and unwrap evidence; WETH wrapper and unwrap evidence
WETH approvals, wrapper transfers, and later unwrap activity remain visible contract events. A private route does not turn WETH into an unrecorded native ETH balance. 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 source transfer remains public. WETH approvals, wrapper transfers, and later unwrap activity remain visible contract events. A private route does not turn WETH into an unrecorded native ETH balance. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas. The destination receipt and later use remain public even when direct wallet association is reduced.
Cross-chain linkability limits
Private routing can reduce a direct association between the EVM deposit account and Solana receiving account. The 0x transaction, approval, gas, Solana signature, token-account changes, amounts, and timing remain public evidence. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. 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 Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Verification status is separate from privacy status
Provider policy is evaluated for the exact Solana mint or native asset, the other network representation, amount, and region. Cross-ecosystem wallet compatibility and no-KYC status are separate checks. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. 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 Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
