Solana is classified as a native asset for this route. SOL uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 9 decimal places. 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.
Polygon source execution occurs on L1, while Arbitrum delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. POL pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.
Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address 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.
POL (ex-MATIC) is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. POL uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 18 decimal places. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays source-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1.
Polygon and Arbitrum can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories. The recorded settlement context includes ethereum, so L1 and L2 confirmation behavior should not be assumed identical.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for Arbitrum; running out of POL before the source transaction is submitted. 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. 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. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this SOL on Polygon to POL on Arbitrum path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
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.
POL is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0x044d8e7F3A17751D521efEa8CCf9282268fE08CC. ETH, not POL, 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. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
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, On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
SOL is the deposited native-asset input; POL is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
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. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
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.
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.
Requirements are checked for the live SOL Polygon to POL 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.
