What exactly leaves Arbitrum as SOL?
SOL is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 9 decimals at 0x2bcC6D6CdBbDC0a4071e48bb3B969b06B3330c07. ETH, not SOL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Native SOL leaves a Solana account through a signed transaction and pays the fee; wrapped or tokenized SOL uses a token account or external contract instead.
What exactly arrives on BNB Chain as ARB?
ARB is a contract representation on BNB Chain with 18 decimals at 0x0acdb582C1d5512Ea31fD64b9C07882CB31E494D. BNB, not ARB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.
Why does the SOL to ARB direction matter?
Native SOL leaves a Solana account through a signed transaction and pays the fee; wrapped or tokenized SOL uses a token account or external contract instead. On receipt, A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?

What should be matched before sending SOL?
Native SOL leaves a Solana account through a signed transaction and pays the fee; wrapped or tokenized SOL uses a token account or external contract instead. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.
What funds the Arbitrum source transaction?
ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. SOL is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
What is the most dangerous wrong-network mistake here?
Sending SOL on a network other than Arbitrum, or using an address that is not valid for BNB Chain, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
