Arbitrum 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. LINK uses LINK contract token on the source; ETH uses ETH contract token on Solana.
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. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not ETH unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.
ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. LINK is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Arbitrum; 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. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The Arbitrum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract.
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. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this LINK on Arbitrum to ETH 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.
No. The destination must be a Solana-compatible address. Base58-encoded Solana account address
An SPL-token receipt uses the relevant mint and token account; the wallet or route may create an associated token account when needed. SOL is used for later Solana activity.
LINK is a contract representation on Arbitrum at 0xf97f4df75117a78c1a5a0dbb814af92458539fb4. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract.
ETH is a contract representation on Solana with 8 decimals at 7vfCXTUXx5WJV5JADk17DUJ4ksgau7utNKj4b963voxs. SOL, not ETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract. On receipt, Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
LINK is the deposited token input; ETH is the quoted native-asset output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
