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

Optimism 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; HYPE uses HYPE contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for HYPE

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. Confirm receipt in HyperEVM rather than HyperCore or another Hyperliquid environment; the destination context determines whether HYPE is spendable gas. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not HYPE unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Optimism approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. USDC is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay.

Converting stablecoin USDC into HYPE

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 HYPE is classified as native-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

Mistakes specific to USDC Optimism to HYPE Solana

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Optimism; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. 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. Confirm receipt in HyperEVM rather than HyperCore or another Hyperliquid environment; the destination context determines whether HYPE is spendable gas.

USDC input identity and handling

USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The Optimism side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. 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.

HYPE output identity and receiving

Hyperliquid is classified as a native asset for this route. HYPE uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 9 decimal places. Confirm receipt in HyperEVM rather than HyperCore or another Hyperliquid environment; the destination context determines whether HYPE is spendable gas.

Private Route for USDC → HYPE

Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this USDC on Optimism to HYPE on Solana path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side Base58-encoded Solana account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
