Swap USDT from BNB Chain to SOL on Solana

Swap USDT from BNB Chain to SOL on Solana. Tether USDT leaves BNB Chain. SOL is what can arrive on Solana. A dollar balance becomes the coin that pays fees on the other network.

You spend 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, Tether on chain id 56, 18 decimals. You are quoted against So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112, the wrapped SOL mint. BscScan shows the Tether debit. Solscan shows the SOL credit. Blocks on BNB Chain are about 3 seconds, which is not a promise about the bridge. Wallet setup for the source is on BNB Chain.

You are leaving the peg on purpose

USDT is Tether's token. SOL moves with its own market. If the point of the transfer was a dollar balance you can spend later without price risk, this route is wrong. Stop and choose a USDC or USDT mint on Solana.

Wrapped SOL mint, not a BEP-20

So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 is how Solana routes name SOL. It is not WETH, and it is not a contract you approve on BscScan. Phantom is where the spendable SOL balance belongs.

Two signatures may spend BNB

Approving 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 is its own transaction. The swap is another. Both need BNB on chain 56. Solana does not add an ERC-20 approval after that. Keep BNB back so the second signature is possible.

Ethereum Tether will not fund this

The contract 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 lives on Ethereum, chain id 1. This page never sees it. If the wallet network is Ethereum or Polygon, you are about to approve the wrong chain.

Frequently asked questions

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

You spend 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, Tether on chain id 56, 18 decimals. You are quoted against So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112, the wrapped SOL mint.

Will the SOL show up inside MetaMask?

No. MetaMask on chain 56 can show the Tether debit at 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. The SOL credit is an SPL balance around So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Open Phantom and Solscan. There is no ERC-20 approval on Solana to watch for. A 0x receiver never displays that mint. Use the address Phantom shows you.

What if the quote expires while I compare prices?

Let it expire. USDT against SOL can move while you read. A fresh quote gives a new minimum. This page does not publish a finish time for the bridge leg. BNB Chain blocks near 3 seconds only describe the source chain, not the full route.

Is BNB Chain USDT 6 decimals like Ethereum USDT?

No. 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 uses 18 decimals. Ethereum's Tether uses 6. Solana SOL is not a 6 decimal stable either. Compare the amount written on the quote, not the raw integer in a log line on BscScan. The two contracts are not substitutes. Human units on the quote are the ones that count.
