What arrives at the address	Native TON or standard tokens of the TON network	It varies: a number of networks hand out the bridged version of the token

Is a TON coin needed for fees	Not required to receive	As a rule yes, otherwise the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
When it arrives	As soon as Solana gathers confirmations; the status is shown on the order page	Set by the bridge itself and by the load on both networks
Who holds the funds on the way	Velorex — until the order is closed by the payout	The smart contract of the bridge or its validators
