Non-EVM smart contracts

Solana Bridge: how to bridge to and from Solana

Solana uses its own virtual machine and account format, so EVM-only bridges do not work here. Coverage comes from bridges that built a dedicated integration, messaging protocols, and stablecoin issuers.

Quick answer

Services supporting Solana: 22. Most used in our guides: LI.FI, deBridge, Mayan, Circle CCTP. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.

Popular services

  • LI.FI

    LI.FI is an aggregator. It compares many bridges and exchanges and picks the best route for your transfer. Many wallets and apps build it in. Jumper, a website for regular users that started inside LI.FI, runs on it.

  • deBridge

    deBridge lets you swap tokens between Ethereum-style networks, Solana and other chains such as TRON in one step. You place an order saying what you give and what you want back. A taker (a solver who fills orders) pays you on the destination network from its own funds.

  • Mayan

    Mayan swaps tokens between Solana and Ethereum-style networks in one step. It runs on Wormhole messaging. Solvers bid against each other in an auction to fill your swap, which pushes the price in your favor.

  • Circle CCTP

    CCTP is run by Circle, the company that issues USDC. It moves real USDC between networks: Circle destroys the coins on one side and creates the same amount on the other. You end up with genuine USDC, not a wrapped copy.

Alternative ways to move funds

Move stablecoins instead

Converting to USDC or USDT and moving it through the issuer’s own transfer protocol often has the widest coverage and the least slippage. Swap back on the destination if you need another asset.

Native swap protocols

Protocols such as THORChain, Chainflip or NEAR Intents swap native coins across chains from their own vaults. You receive the real coin, not a wrapped token, and you keep custody until you send.

Through a centralised exchange

Deposit on Solana, trade if needed, and withdraw on the destination network. Simple and often cheap, but the exchange holds your funds in between and needs identity verification.

Two steps through a well-connected chain

If no single route exists, first move to a chain with many connections (Ethereum, Solana or a major rollup), then on to the destination. It costs two fees, but each step uses a well-tested route.

How transfers work on Solana

  • Messaging protocols and dedicated bridges connect Solana to Ethereum and other major chains.
  • Native USDC or USDT moves through issuer protocols where available, which avoids wrapped stablecoins.
  • Native swap protocols and intent networks can deliver native coins from Bitcoin and other chains.

What to watch out for

  • You need a wallet that supports Solana; addresses look different from Ethereum addresses.
  • Some tokens on Solana are wrapped versions from older bridges. Check which version you receive.

Frequently asked questions

How can I bridge from Solana?

22 of the projects we review support Solana, including Across, Wormhole, Circle CCTP. We have 28 route guides that involve Solana.

Which major chains can I reach from Solana directly?

Directly: Ethereum, Bitcoin, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid. Other destinations need two steps or an exchange.

What if there is no bridge for my Solana route?

Use a centralised exchange, take two steps through a well-connected chain such as Ethereum or Solana, or move a stablecoin instead and swap on arrival.
