BNB Chain uses EVM account addresses and BNB 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; SOL uses native SOL 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. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not SOL unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.
BNB is the native gas asset for BNB Chain. LINK is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than BNB Chain; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of BNB before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable. A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20. 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. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.
Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on BNB Chain. The BNB Chain 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.
Solana is classified as a native asset for this route. SOL uses a native asset on Solana. Native SOL exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.
BNB Chain 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 BNB Chain to SOL 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
Native SOL is credited as a native balance. SOL is used for later Solana activity.
LINK is a contract representation on BNB Chain at 0xf8a0bf9cf54bb92f17374d9e9a321e6a111a51bd. BNB, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20. 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.
SOL is listed as the native representation on Solana; SOL is used for network gas. 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 SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.
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, Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.
LINK is the deposited token input; SOL 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. A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20. 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 SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.
Requirements are checked for the live LINK BSC to SOL Solana quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
