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

Avalanche uses EVM account addresses and AVAX 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. WBTC uses WBTC wrapped token on the source; SOL uses native SOL on Solana.

Solana token-account check for SOL

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 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 compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not SOL unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

Avalanche approval and gas before the handoff

AVAX is the native gas asset for Avalanche. WBTC is contract-tracked and can require an allowance before transfer. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits.

WBTC unwrap or exchange input check

WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. On this route WBTC is the source token on Avalanche. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Mistakes specific to WBTC Avalanche to SOL Solana

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Avalanche; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of AVAX before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. 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 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.

WBTC input identity and handling

Wrapped Bitcoin is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WBTC uses a wrapped contract asset on Avalanche. The recorded Avalanche representation uses 8 decimal places. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer.

SOL output identity and receiving

Solana is classified as a native asset for this route. SOL uses a native asset on Solana. Native SOL exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. 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 WBTC → SOL

Avalanche wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this WBTC on Avalanche to SOL 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.
