Move from a Solana account into Optimism EVM

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

BNB 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. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.

Optimism contract and 0x receiving checks

EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

Mistakes specific to BNB Solana to LINK Optimism

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; running out of SOL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming solana and evm addresses are interchangeable. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

BNB input identity and handling

BNB is classified as a native asset for this route. BNB uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 8 decimal places. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling.

LINK output identity and receiving

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The Optimism side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Private Route for BNB → LINK

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