wETH wraps ETH, not SOL.
- ww520 5y agoSo where does the SOL go in a normal transaction?
- 22c 5y agoSOL is the gas on Solana smart contracts. In a "normal" transaction on Solana, SOL goes towards paying the TX fee itself. In the case of the Wormhole bridge, there are transactions on both the Ethereum mainnet side (paid for in Ethereum gwei) and the Solana network side (paid for in Solana gwei). The only lossy factor is in the bridging fees themself which are typically a "flat" fee.
