Convert the Ethereum 0x input into a Solana-account receipt

Ethereum 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. ETH uses native ETH on the source; AVAX uses AVAX contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for AVAX

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. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not AVAX unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Ethereum approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for Ethereum. ETH is a native source balance. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit.

Mistakes specific to ETH Ethereum to AVAX Solana

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Ethereum; 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. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.

ETH input identity and handling

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on Ethereum. The recorded Ethereum representation uses 18 decimal places. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ.

AVAX output identity and receiving

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. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.

Private Route for ETH → AVAX

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