What exactly leaves BNB Chain as SOL?
SOL is a contract representation on BNB Chain with 18 decimals at 0x570A5D26f7765Ecb712C0924E4De545B89fD43dF. BNB, not SOL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A BNB Smart Chain source uses BNB gas and BEP-20 contracts; a familiar 0x account does not turn a BEP-20 deposit into ERC-20. 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.
