Convert the Arbitrum 0x input into a Solana-account receipt

Arbitrum uses EVM account addresses and ETH for source gas. Solana uses Solana accounts, transaction signatures, and SOL for destination activity. A 0x address is not a valid substitute for the Solana receiving address shown by the route. USDC uses USDC contract token on the source; SUI uses SUI contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for SUI

Base58-encoded Solana account address A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Native SUI receipt creates Sui coin objects that can fund later gas. A smart-contract token outside Sui does not become a native object. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not SUI unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Arbitrum approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. USDC is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval.

Converting stablecoin USDC into SUI

USDC is an issued dollar-oriented stablecoin with canonical, native, and bridged variants across networks. Contract events and issuer controls differ from a network-native gas asset. The source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while SUI is classified as native-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Native SUI receipt creates Sui coin objects that can fund later gas. A smart-contract token outside Sui does not become a native object.
