Does this route use native Bitcoin or a tokenized BTC representation?
The Bitcoin side uses native BTC and the UTXO ledger. Native BTC is a Bitcoin UTXO asset with confirmations and Bitcoin address rules. Tokenized or wrapped Bitcoin on a smart-contract chain follows a contract ledger instead of the native UTXO graph.
How do Bitcoin confirmations fit this BTC to SOL route?
The provider waits for its required source confirmation depth. The account-chain transaction and the Bitcoin transaction are separate records.
How is the non-Bitcoin side recorded for this direction?
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.
What exactly leaves Bitcoin as BTC?
BTC is listed as the native representation on Bitcoin; BTC is used for network gas. A Bitcoin source spends UTXOs, creates a fee-bearing transaction and possible change, and waits for the route provider’s confirmation depth. A native BTC deposit spends selected UTXOs, pays a BTC miner fee, can create change, and advances through Bitcoin confirmations.
What exactly arrives on Arbitrum as SOL?
SOL is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 9 decimals at 0x2bcC6D6CdBbDC0a4071e48bb3B969b06B3330c07. ETH, not SOL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. 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. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.
Why does the BTC to SOL direction matter?
A native BTC deposit spends selected UTXOs, pays a BTC miner fee, can create change, and advances through Bitcoin confirmations. On receipt, Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
BTC is the deposited native-asset input; SOL is the quoted native-asset output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
