Move from a Solana account into BNB Chain EVM

Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while BNB Chain uses an EVM 0x account and BNB for destination gas. Confirm the destination token contract and do not paste a Solana address into the EVM destination field. LINK is read from its Solana mint or native account, while DAI arrives at the quoted BNB Chain native or contract representation.

LINK 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. 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. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.

BNB Chain contract and 0x receiving checks

EVM 0x account address BNB is the native gas asset for BNB Chain. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

Receiving stablecoin DAI

DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. The destination wallet must support the exact BNB Chain representation. The route converts a token source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.

Mistakes specific to LINK Solana to DAI BNB Chain

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for BNB Chain; running out of SOL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming solana and evm addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction 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. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

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 Solana. The Solana 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.

DAI output identity and receiving

Dai is classified as a stablecoin for this route. DAI uses a network-specific contract asset on BNB Chain. The recorded BNB Chain representation uses 18 decimal places. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

Private Route for LINK → DAI

Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public, and BNB Chain wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on Solana to DAI on BNB Chain 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.
