Solana Wallets and the Polygon to Base Route

Why this matters on Solana

Polygon-to-Base is a cross-chain move, even though both ecosystems support many familiar assets. Confirm the exact destination representation before using the received balance.

Solana uses a different account and token model from EVM networks, so EVM assumptions should not be applied directly.

Solana does not follow standard EVM conventions. Address formats, token identifiers and approval mechanics differ, so EVM-oriented checklists and tools should only be applied to Solana after confirming they are supported.

Solana and this route

Solana is neither end of the Polygon to Base route, but a wallet that uses Solana often holds balances on those networks too. If your assets are on Solana, they would first have to be on Polygon for this route to apply.

Leaving Polygon

Compare Polygon transaction costs with bridge and liquidity costs when consolidating small balances. Check network selection and contract addresses before signing, especially when an asset also exists on Ethereum.

Arriving on Base

Verify the token contract on Base and do not rely on ticker or logo alone. Consider Base transaction costs together with bridge and route costs when moving small balances.

Solana: what to pay attention to

• Costs: Consider transaction costs and token-account mechanics when evaluating small balances.
• Security: Use trusted wallet interfaces and review transaction effects before approving them.
• Assets and tokens: Verify the mint address and relevant token-account details rather than relying on ticker symbols.

A Solana checklist for this topic

• Confirm that the token you hold on Solana is supported for the route you are reading about.
• Verify the source network, the destination network and the destination address before signing.
• Compare quotes and the minimum received amount, since the final amount can differ from the estimate.
• Keep enough native balance on the source network to pay for the transaction.

Bridge from Solana

Consider transaction costs and token-account mechanics when evaluating small balances. On the zkSync side: verify the asset contract on zkSync before assuming it matches another network.

The bridge guide below is informational; any transaction depends on current network conditions and the route shown in the bridge interface.
