Stellar Bridge: how to bridge to and from Stellar

Stellar has its own design that most general bridges do not support out of the box. A small set of integrations, issuer-run stablecoins and exchanges carry most of the traffic.

Quick answer

Services supporting Stellar: 5. Most used in our guides: SideShift, ChangeNOW, Rhino.fi, USDT0. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.

Popular services

  • SideShift

    SideShift is an instant exchange that swaps about 200 coins across dozens of networks, with no account. It is handy for moving between chains like Bitcoin, XRP, Cardano or Polkadot and stablecoins on EVM networks. It does not support Monero, Kaspa or Zcash.

  • ChangeNOW

    ChangeNOW is an instant exchange service that swaps between more than a thousand coins across many networks, with no account needed. It covers coins that bridges cannot reach, such as Monero, Kaspa and Zcash. While the swap runs, the company holds your coins.

  • Rhino.fi

    Rhino.fi is a bridge focused on stablecoins that links EVM networks with chains such as TRON, Solana, TON and Stellar. It is a common choice for moving USDT between TRON and Ethereum-style networks. Rhino.fi pays you on the other side from its own liquidity.

  • USDT0

    USDT0 is the way Tether’s USDT moves between networks. It is built on LayerZero’s OFT standard and backed 1:1 by USDT locked on Ethereum. A separate service, the Legacy Mesh, connects older USDT on TRON and TON.

Why Stellar has few routes

Only 5 of the projects we track support Stellar, so many pairs have no direct route and prices vary more.

Alternative ways to move funds

Through a centralised exchange

Deposit on Stellar, 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.

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.

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 Stellar

  • Check the route guides below first: they list the integrations that work today.
  • Stablecoins issued natively on Stellar can often be moved through issuer or exchange rails.
  • Centralised exchanges are a reliable fallback for the native coin.

What to watch out for

  • Memos, destination tags or activation deposits are common. Read the deposit instructions carefully.
  • Fewer routes means wider spreads. Compare at least two options before sending larger amounts.
