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. ETH is read from its Solana mint or native account, while OP arrives at the quoted Optimism native or contract representation.

ETH 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 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. 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. OP receipt is a governance-token balance, not destination gas. Verify the destination contract and keep ETH available for OP Mainnet activity. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

Mistakes specific to ETH Solana to OP 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 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. 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. OP receipt is a governance-token balance, not destination gas. Verify the destination contract and keep ETH available for OP Mainnet activity.

ETH input identity and handling

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 8 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.

OP output identity and receiving

Optimism is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. OP uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The Optimism side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. OP receipt is a governance-token balance, not destination gas. Verify the destination contract and keep ETH available for OP Mainnet activity.

Private Route for ETH → OP

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