Move from a Solana account into Arbitrum EVM

Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while Arbitrum uses an EVM 0x account and ETH for destination gas. Confirm the destination token contract and do not paste a Solana address into the EVM destination field. USDT is read from its Solana mint or native account, while SOL arrives at the quoted Arbitrum native or contract representation.

USDT mint and SOL fee checks

Base58-encoded Solana account address SOL is the native gas asset for Solana. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.

Arbitrum contract and 0x receiving checks

EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. 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. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

Converting stablecoin USDT into SOL

USDT is issued through ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, and other network-specific contracts. The ticker does not determine the token standard, contract, issuer controls, or destination address model. The source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while SOL is classified as native-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

Mistakes specific to USDT Solana to SOL Arbitrum

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for Arbitrum; running out of SOL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming solana and evm addresses are interchangeable; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. 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. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.

USDT input identity and handling

Tether is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDT uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The Solana side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior.

SOL output identity and receiving

Solana is classified as a native asset for this route. SOL uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 9 decimal places. Native SOL receipt uses a Solana address and can fund later fees; wrapped SOL uses an SPL token account and tokenized SOL elsewhere is not native.

Private Route for USDT → SOL

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