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. OP uses OP contract token on the source; SOL uses native SOL on Solana.

Solana token-account check for SOL

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 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. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not SOL unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Optimism approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. OP 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 OP Optimism to SOL 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. OP is transferred as a governance token; ETH remains required for OP Mainnet gas and the outbound contract must match the source network. 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 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.

OP input identity and handling

Optimism is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. OP uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The Optimism side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. OP is transferred as a governance token; ETH remains required for OP Mainnet gas and the outbound contract must match the source network.

SOL output identity and receiving

Solana is classified as a native asset for this route. SOL uses a native asset on Solana. Native SOL exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. 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.

Private Route for OP → SOL

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