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. ETH is read from its Solana mint or native account, while WETH arrives at the quoted Arbitrum 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.

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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

WETH wrapped-token output check

WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH 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 ETH Solana to WETH 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; 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. 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 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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.

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.

WETH output identity and receiving

WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 18 decimal places. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.

Private Route for ETH → WETH

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