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 Ethereum as ETH?
ETH is listed as the native representation on Ethereum; ETH is used for network gas. 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. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
Why does the SOL to ETH 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, Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
SOL is the deposited native-asset input; ETH 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. 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. 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. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.
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 Ethereum, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Can I swap SOL on Base to ETH on Ethereum without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live SOL Base to ETH Ethereum 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.
