What exactly leaves Base as SOL?
SOL is a contract representation on Base with 9 decimals at 0x311935Cd80B76769bF2ecC9D8Ab7635b2139cf82. ETH, not SOL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. 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?
SOL is the deposited native-asset input; ARB is the quoted token 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. A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. 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 Base source transaction?
ETH is the native gas asset for Base. A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. 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 Base, 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.
Can I swap SOL on Base to ARB on BSC without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live SOL Base to ARB BSC 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.
