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 Ethereum as BNB?
BNB is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0xb8c77482e45f1f44de1745f52c74426c631bdd52. ETH, not BNB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
Why does the SOL to BNB 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, Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
SOL is the deposited native-asset input; BNB 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 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. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
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 Ethereum, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
