Convert the zkSync Era 0x input into a Solana-account receipt

zkSync Era 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. USDT uses USDT contract token on the source; ETH uses ETH contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for ETH

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. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not ETH unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

zkSync Era approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for zkSync Era. USDT is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum.

Converting stablecoin USDT into ETH

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

A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees.
