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. WETH uses WETH wrapped token on the source; SOL uses native SOL on Solana.
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.
ETH is the native gas asset for zkSync Era. WETH 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.
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 zkSync Era. 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 zkSync Era; 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; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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 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.
WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on zkSync Era. The recorded zkSync Era representation uses 18 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.
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.
zkSync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this WETH on zkSync Era 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.
No. The destination must be a Solana-compatible address. Base58-encoded Solana account address
Native SOL is credited as a native balance. SOL is used for later Solana activity.
WETH is a contract representation on zkSync Era with 18 decimals at 0x5AEa5775959fBC2557Cc8789bC1bf90A239D9a91. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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.
SOL is listed as the native representation on Solana; SOL is used for network gas. 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.
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, 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.
WETH is the deposited token input; SOL is the quoted native-asset 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 zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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.
Requirements are checked for the live WETH zkSync to SOL Solana 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.
