What exactly leaves Optimism as OP?
OP is a contract representation on Optimism at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042. ETH, not OP, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. 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. OP is transferred as a governance token; ETH remains required for OP Mainnet gas and the outbound contract must match the source network.
What exactly arrives on Polygon as SOL?
SOL is a contract representation on Polygon with 9 decimals at 0xd93f7E271cB87c23AaA73edC008A79646d1F9912. POL, not SOL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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.
Why does the OP to SOL direction matter?
OP is transferred as a governance token; ETH remains required for OP Mainnet gas and the outbound contract must match the source network. 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.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
OP 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.
What should be matched before sending OP?
OP is transferred as a governance token; ETH remains required for OP Mainnet gas and the outbound contract must match the source network. 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. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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.
What funds the Optimism source transaction?
ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. 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. OP is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
What is the most dangerous wrong-network mistake here?
Sending OP on a network other than Optimism, or using an address that is not valid for Polygon, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Can I swap OP on OP Mainnet to SOL on Polygon without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live OP OP Mainnet to SOL Polygon 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.
