Wormhole Bridged SOL wallet

What is Wormhole Bridged SOL (SOL)?

The ticker says SOL, but this asset never leaves Avalanche. It is a Wormhole-issued ERC-20 on the Avalanche C-Chain, minted against SOL locked in the bridge's contract on Solana. One unit stands for one SOL; what it does not do is behave like SOL.

That distinction is the entire holding experience:

• It cannot pay Solana transaction fees, and it cannot be delegated to a Solana validator. Those are jobs only the native coin does.
• Sending it anywhere is an Avalanche transaction, so the fee comes out of your AVAX.
• Getting real SOL means passing it back through Wormhole and receiving it at a Solana address, not sending this token to one. A Solana address is not even a valid destination for it.
• Its backing is a bridge contract holding SOL, so it depends on that bridge continuing to function.

One more trap: wallets and price screens shorten it to SOL, sitting one line away from the real thing. The full name is the only reliable way to tell which of the two you are looking at.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Avalanche.

Tangem keeps each network's holdings apart, so a bridged token on Avalanche and a native coin are separate entries with separate balances, and the outgoing network is spelled out on the confirmation screen before the card signs. You still have to read it - no wallet can tell which chain a recipient had in mind - but with a token whose name points at another chain entirely, a wallet that says plainly where the funds are going earns its place.
