What exactly leaves Polygon as SOL?
SOL is a contract representation on Polygon with 9 decimals at 0xd93f7E271cB87c23AaA73edC008A79646d1F9912. POL, not SOL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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 Arbitrum as ARB?
ARB is a contract representation on Arbitrum at 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548. ETH, not ARB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. 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 Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. 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 Polygon source transaction?
POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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 Polygon, or using an address that is not valid for Arbitrum, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Can I swap SOL on Polygon to ARB on Arbitrum without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live SOL Polygon to ARB Arbitrum 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.
