Swap BNB from BNB Chain to SOL on Solana

Swap BNB from BNB Chain to SOL on Solana. Native BNB leaves BNB Chain. SOL is what can arrive on Solana. You trade one network's gas coin for the other's, across two account models.

BNB is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on chain id 56. SOL is quoted as So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Those strings are not the same kind of address. BscScan shows the BNB debit. Solscan shows SOL. Blocks on the source are about 3 seconds. Solana has no ERC-20 approval. Read how to bridge assets between chains if a single seed phrase made the two balances look interchangeable.

Leave a BNB remainder on chain 56

You are spending the fee coin. The last BNB cannot pay for its own departure. WBNB at 0xbb4CdB9CBd36B01bD1cBaEBF2De08d9173bc095c is the wrong balance entirely. This quote wants native BNB only.

So111 is the route's name for SOL

Phantom spends that balance as SOL. It is not an ERC-20, not WETH, and not WBTC. WBTC is not native bitcoin, and this hop does not involve bitcoin at all. Solscan is the check. MetaMask will not list the credit.

Both prices move

BNB and SOL are volatile against each other. The minimum on the quote is the deal. Refresh it if you pause. Nothing here dates the bridge leg. A 3 second BscScan block only means the source chain moved.

Dollar mints are other jobs

Circle USDC on Solana is EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v. Tether is Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. If you needed either peg, this SOL route is wrong. You would also need SOL already if you wanted to move those mints later.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap BNB from BNB Chain to SOL on Solana?

BNB is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on chain id 56. SOL is quoted as So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112.

Are the two gas labels the same address type?

No. 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is an EVM stand-in for BNB on chain id 56. So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 is a Solana mint for SOL. You do not approve either one as an ERC-20 on the destination. BscScan and Solscan are separate records. Do not approve the SOL mint on BscScan.

Can I receive SOL in the wallet that holds the BNB?

Only if that wallet also has a Solana address, such as Phantom, and you pasted that address. The 0x account on chain 56 is not a Solana receiver. There is no ERC-20 approval step that fixes a wrong address type. Paste the address Phantom shows, then check Solscan.

What if the wallet holds WBNB instead of BNB?

Then this route cannot spend it. WBNB is 0xbb4CdB9CBd36B01bD1cBaEBF2De08d9173bc095c. Native BNB is the gas label. Unwrap, or request a quote that names WBNB. You still must keep native BNB for the chain 56 fee. A wallet of only WBNB cannot pay gas. Unwrap to native BNB before you return.
