What you need to know

Convert the Arbitrum 0x input into a Solana-account receipt

Arbitrum uses EVM account addresses and ETH for source gas. Solana uses Solana accounts, transaction signatures, and SOL for destination activity. A 0x address is not a valid substitute for the Solana receiving address shown by the route. ARB uses ARB contract token on the source; DAI uses DAI contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for DAI

Base58-encoded Solana account address 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 receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not DAI unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Arbitrum approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. ARB is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval.

Receiving stablecoin DAI

DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. The destination wallet must support the exact Solana representation. The route converts a token source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

Mistakes specific to ARB Arbitrum to DAI Solana

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Arbitrum; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum. 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 receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

ARB input identity and handling

Arbitrum is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. ARB uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The Arbitrum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum.

DAI output identity and receiving

Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 8 decimal places. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

Private Route for ARB → DAI

Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this ARB on Arbitrum to DAI on Solana path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side Base58-encoded Solana account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
