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. BNB uses BNB contract token on the source; WBTC uses WBTC wrapped token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for WBTC

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. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not WBTC unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Arbitrum approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. BNB 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.

WBTC wrapped-token output check

WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. On this route WBTC 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 BNB Arbitrum to WBTC 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; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.

BNB input identity and handling

BNB is classified as a native asset for this route. BNB uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 18 decimal places. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling.

WBTC output identity and receiving

Wrapped Bitcoin is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WBTC uses a wrapped contract asset on Solana. The Solana side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.

Private Route for BNB → WBTC

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