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. 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 Ethereum. LINK is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. 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.
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. 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 Ethereum. The Ethereum 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.
Ethereum 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 Ethereum 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 Ethereum at 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Requirements are checked for the live LINK Ethereum to ETH 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.
