Move from a Solana account into Optimism EVM

Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while Optimism uses an EVM 0x account and ETH 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 TRX arrives at the quoted Optimism 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.

Optimism contract and 0x receiving checks

EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. Native TRX receipt belongs to a Tron address and can support network resources; tokenized TRX on another ledger cannot supply Tron bandwidth or energy. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

Mistakes specific to LINK Solana to TRX Optimism

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; running out of SOL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming solana and evm addresses are interchangeable. 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. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. Native TRX receipt belongs to a Tron address and can support network resources; tokenized TRX on another ledger cannot supply Tron bandwidth or energy.

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.

TRX output identity and receiving

TRON is classified as a native asset for this route. TRX uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The recorded Optimism representation uses 6 decimal places. Native TRX receipt belongs to a Tron address and can support network resources; tokenized TRX on another ledger cannot supply Tron bandwidth or energy.

Private Route for LINK → TRX

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