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. WETH is read from its Solana mint or native account, while USDC arrives at the quoted Arbitrum native or contract representation.
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. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.
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. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.
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 destination wallet must support the exact Arbitrum representation. The route converts a token source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.
WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH is the source token on Solana. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
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; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. 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. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 9 decimal places. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer.
USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The Arbitrum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public, and Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this WETH on Solana to USDC 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.
No. EVM 0x account address The USDC output belongs to the quoted EVM representation.
SOL pays source fees on Solana. ETH pays later transactions on Arbitrum; the delivered USDC does not replace that gas balance unless it is the native asset.
WETH is a contract representation on Solana with 9 decimals at AaAEw2VCw1XzgvKB8Rj2DyK2ZVau9fbt2bE8hZFWsMyE. SOL, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer.
USDC is a contract representation on Arbitrum at 0xaf88d065e77c8cc2239327c5edb3a432268e5831. ETH, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. 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. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. On receipt, The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
WETH is the deposited token input; USDC is the quoted stablecoin output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
Requirements are checked for the live WETH Solana to USDC Arbitrum quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
