What you need to know

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

Avalanche uses EVM account addresses and AVAX 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. AVAX uses native AVAX on the source; WETH uses WETH wrapped token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for WETH

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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not WETH unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Avalanche approval and gas before the handoff

AVAX is the native gas asset for Avalanche. AVAX is a native source balance. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits.

WETH wrapped-token output check

WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH is the destination token on Solana. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Mistakes specific to AVAX Avalanche to WETH Solana

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Avalanche; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of AVAX before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead. 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.

AVAX input identity and handling

Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a native asset on Avalanche. The recorded Avalanche representation uses 18 decimal places. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead.

WETH output identity and receiving

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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.

Private Route for AVAX → WETH

Avalanche wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this AVAX on Avalanche to WETH 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.
