What you need to know

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. DAI is read from its Solana mint or native account, while WBTC arrives at the quoted Arbitrum native or contract representation.

DAI 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. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. 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. 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 Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

Converting stablecoin DAI into WBTC

DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. The source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while WBTC is classified as wrapped-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

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 Arbitrum. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Mistakes specific to DAI Solana to WBTC 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; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. 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. 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.

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 DAI → WBTC

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