Move from a Solana account into Arbitrum EVM

Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while Arbitrum 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. AVAX is read from its Solana mint or native account, while USDC arrives at the quoted Arbitrum native or contract representation.

AVAX mint and SOL fee checks

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. 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. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.

Arbitrum contract and 0x receiving checks

EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

Receiving stablecoin USDC

USDC is an issued dollar-oriented stablecoin with canonical, native, and bridged variants across networks. Contract events and issuer controls differ from a network-native gas asset. The destination wallet must support the exact Arbitrum representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

Mistakes specific to AVAX Solana to USDC Arbitrum

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for Arbitrum; running out of SOL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming solana and evm addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.

AVAX input identity and handling

Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 8 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.

USDC output identity and receiving

USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The Arbitrum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.

Private Route for AVAX → USDC

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