What you need to know

Convert the Optimism 0x input into a Solana-account receipt

Optimism 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; SUI uses SUI contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for SUI

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 SUI receipt creates Sui coin objects that can fund later gas. A smart-contract token outside Sui does not become a native object. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not SUI unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Optimism approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. LINK is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay.

Mistakes specific to LINK Optimism to SUI Solana

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Optimism; 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 OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. 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 SUI receipt creates Sui coin objects that can fund later gas. A smart-contract token outside Sui does not become a native object.

LINK input identity and handling

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The Optimism 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.

SUI output identity and receiving

Sui is classified as a native asset for this route. SUI uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 8 decimal places. Native SUI receipt creates Sui coin objects that can fund later gas. A smart-contract token outside Sui does not become a native object.

Private Route for LINK → SUI

Optimism 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 Optimism to SUI 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.
