TON to Solana Bridge
There is no official TON to Solana bridge. TON's own bridge only served Ethereum-style networks, and it closed on 1 September 2026. To get to Solana you use a cross-chain swap like Symbiosis or NEAR Intents, an aggregator, an exchange, or a detour through another network.

Short answer
For most people a direct cross-chain swap is the best way. Symbiosis and NEAR Intents both take Toncoin or USDT on TON from your own wallet and send real SOL or stablecoins to your Solana address. No exchange account, no extra stops.
An exchange makes sense if you already keep money there or you move a large amount and want lots of buyers. TON deposits to exchanges usually need a memo (also called a comment or tag). Forgetting it is the most common way people lose time on this route.
There is also a detour: move USDT from TON to Ethereum or Arbitrum with USDT0, or swap there, then use a second bridge to Solana. It costs more and takes longer. The old TON Bridge is no longer an option for this, because it closed on 1 September 2026. Use the detour only if the direct routes do not support your token.
| Official TON Bridge | Closed on 1 September 2026 |
|---|---|
| Usual way | Swap from your TON wallet |
| Direct options | Symbiosis, NEAR Intents |
| Wrapped TON on Solana | None widely used |
| Usual time | 2-15 min |
| Exchange deposits | Memo usually needed |
| Biggest cost | Swap markup |
Why this route is difficult
TON and Solana are built very differently. On TON, one action can turn into several transactions that run one after another, sometimes in different parts of the network. On Solana, a transaction either fully works or fully fails in one go.
A bridge has to connect those two styles. A TON contract cannot check what happened on Solana in the same step, and Solana cannot read TON at all. So bridges use relayers or groups of validators that watch one network and act on the other. That means you trust them.
Tokens work differently too. On TON, tokens like USDT are called jettons, and each holder gets a separate small wallet contract for each one. Solana keeps tokens in token accounts. A bridge has to translate between the two and handle the case where a TON transfer bounces back.
TON's official bridge only served Ethereum-style networks and closed on 1 September 2026, so Solana depends on outside services. Symbiosis goes from TON to Solana directly, NEAR Intents covers both through its solvers, and aggregators like Rango compare the options.
Possible approaches
1Cross-chain swap protocol
A protocol with money on both networks swaps your TON coins for Solana coins in one go.
Trade-offOne step, but depends on the protocol's relayers and pool size.
2Intent-based swap
You send TON or USDT on TON, and a solver sends you what you asked for on Solana.
Trade-offNo exchange account. The price depends on how many solvers compete.
3Hop through an EVM chain
Move USDT to Ethereum or Arbitrum with USDT0, or swap there, then use another bridge to Solana.
Trade-offUses well-known bridges, but more steps and more fees.
4Centralized exchange
Deposit TON, sell it, and withdraw a Solana coin.
Trade-offSimple with lots of trading, but the exchange holds your coins and deposits need the right memo.
Options compared
| Option | You get | Typical time | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cross-chain swap protocol (Symbiosis) | Real SOL or Solana tokens | 2-10 min | Fee + markup, in the quote | Toncoin or USDT to SOL |
| Intent-based swap (NEAR Intents) | SOL, USDC or USDT | 2-10 min | Markup in the quote | Price check against Symbiosis |
| Centralized exchange | SOL, USDC or other listed tokens | 5-30 min | Trading + SOL withdrawal fee | Large amounts, existing account |
| Hop through an EVM chain | Tokens bridged via Ethereum or BNB Chain | 30 min or more | Two bridge fees + network fees | Tokens with no direct route |
Working solutions
| Solution | You receive | Custody / verification | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Symbiosis | SOL and some Solana tokens | Relayers and pools | Direct TON to Solana. The way back may not be offered. |
| NEAR Intents | SOL, USDC, USDT | Solvers, settled on NEAR | Takes Toncoin and TON tokens like USDT. |
| Rango Exchange | Supported Solana tokens | Depends on route | Compares TON routes for you. |
| Centralized exchanges | SOL or stablecoins | Exchange holds funds | Most trading for large amounts. |
How to move TON to Solana
These steps show a direct swap from a TON wallet to Solana with Symbiosis. It happens in one go and pays out real SOL. Sending USDT on TON instead of Toncoin often gets a better price on the same route.
- 1
Get both wallets ready
On TON, use Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet or the self-custody option in Telegram Wallet. On Solana, have Phantom, Solflare or Backpack ready. Keep a little Toncoin in the TON wallet for fees, even if you send USDT.
- 2
Connect and pick the route
Open the Symbiosis app and connect your TON wallet. Choose TON or USDT on TON as what you send, and SOL or USDC on Solana as what you get. This direction works today. The way back may not be offered.
- 3
Enter your Solana address
Paste your Solana address, not a TON one (TON addresses start with EQ or UQ). Check the first and last few characters before you continue.
- 4
Check the quote
Compare how much you get with a NEAR Intents quote for the same swap. Check the minimum amount and the price impact, which grows fast for bigger Toncoin swaps.
- 5
Confirm in your TON wallet
Approve the transaction in Tonkeeper or your wallet. TON handles transfers in several small steps, so your wallet may say "sent" before everything is finished.
- 6
Follow it on Tonviewer and Solscan
Find your transaction on Tonviewer, then watch your Solana address on Solscan. If delivery fails, the protocol usually refunds your coins or a stablecoin. If nothing arrives after the promised time, contact its support with your TON transaction link.
Fees and timing
TON network fees are small, usually a few cents in Toncoin, and Solana fees on arrival are tiny. Most of what you pay is the swap markup and any protocol fee, both included in the quote. Sending USDT on TON is often cheaper than sending Toncoin, because the stablecoin does not need an extra conversion along the way.
On an exchange you pay a trading fee and a fixed SOL or USDC withdrawal fee. The detour through Ethereum or BNB Chain adds a second bridge fee and a network fee there, so it is the most expensive choice for normal amounts.
TON confirms in a few seconds, so the sending side is rarely the slow part. The time depends on how fast the protocol's relayers or solvers act, and for exchanges, how fast they credit deposits and approve withdrawals. Direct swaps usually finish in minutes.
Common mistakes
- Sending Toncoin to an exchange without the deposit memo or comment. The coins usually arrive, but they are not credited until support matches them by hand.
- Looking for an official TON Bridge to reach Solana. It never supported Solana, and it closed on 1 September 2026.
- Sending USDT on TON with no Toncoin left for fees, so the transaction gets stuck in your wallet.
- Pasting a TON address (starting with EQ or UQ) into the Solana address field, or the other way round.
- Trusting a "TON" token on a Solana exchange to be backed by real Toncoin. There is no widely used official wrapped TON, so check the token's mint address.
- Swapping a large amount of Toncoin at once without checking the price impact in the quote.
Before you transfer
- Sending USDT on TON is often cheaper than sending Toncoin.
- TON wallets need a little Toncoin for fees, even when you send other tokens.
- TON deposits to exchanges usually need a memo or comment.
- Quotes differ between routes. Compare Symbiosis and NEAR Intents before sending larger amounts.
- Make sure you enter a Solana address, not a TON address.
- Some routes only go from TON to Solana, so plan the way back separately.
Frequently asked questions
No. TON's official bridge only connected TON with Ethereum-style networks, and it closed on 1 September 2026. For Solana you need an outside service or an exchange.
Use a cross-chain swap like Symbiosis or NEAR Intents from your TON wallet and enter your Solana address for the payout. An exchange or a detour through Ethereum or BNB Chain also works, but takes more steps.
Swap Toncoin for real SOL with Symbiosis or NEAR Intents, or sell TON on an exchange and withdraw SOL on the Solana network. The direct swap usually takes a few minutes.
Yes. Symbiosis and NEAR Intents take USDT on TON and can pay out USDT, USDC or SOL on Solana. Keep a little Toncoin in your wallet for the TON fee.
Usually yes. Most exchanges use one shared TON deposit address and find your deposit by its memo or comment. Without it, you have to ask support to credit it by hand.
Not directly. Tonkeeper sends on TON, and Phantom receives on Solana. Use a cross-chain swap that takes TON from Tonkeeper and pays out to your Phantom address.
Direct swaps usually take 2 to 10 minutes. TON confirms in seconds, so most of the wait comes from the protocol's relayers, or on exchanges, from processing your withdrawal.
