Swap tokens on Solana

Swap tokens on Solana by comparing live DEX routes, fees, and the minimum you receive before your wallet signs on XAUConnect.

Spot swapping on Solana routes through Jupiter across the major AMMs, with deep markets on SOL, USDC, and USDT and broad SPL coverage. There is no approval step — the wallet simulates the trade and shows balance changes before you sign, so verify the preview and keep SOL for priority fees during busy periods.

Solana liquidity landscape

Liquidity on Solana is routed primarily through Jupiter across Raydium, Orca, and other AMMs, giving broad coverage of SPL tokens and deep markets for SOL, USDC, and USDT. The aggregator model means even less central tokens often find a workable route, but new and memecoin pools can still be extremely thin — confirm the mint address and real depth before trusting a quote.

Fees and gas on Solana

Solana charges a tiny base fee plus an optional priority fee that determines inclusion order during congestion, rather than running a gas auction. Most of the time fees are negligible; during hot mints, raising the priority fee modestly is what gets a transaction included. Always keep a little SOL on hand so a swap is never blocked for lack of fee budget.

Wallets and security on Solana

Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, and WalletConnect Solana sessions are supported. Solana addresses use base58 format, which is completely different from EVM 0x addresses — never send SPL assets to an EVM-style address or the reverse, as cross-format transfers are unrecoverable. Solana's transaction simulation is a genuine safety feature: the wallet previews the balance changes before you sign, so reject anything that does not match your intent. There is no approval step to manage, but contract and mint verification still matters — confirm the mint on Solscan, and on memecoins check liquidity, holder concentration, and two-way tradeability.

Bridging to and from Solana

Bridging between Solana and EVM chains crosses an address-format boundary, so destination compatibility must be checked carefully. Assets arrive as wrapped or bridged representations; confirm the mint on Solana, keep SOL for fees on arrival, and treat any unfamiliar Solana↔EVM route as one to test with a small amount first.

How execution works here

Connect a Solana wallet, choose your tokens, and compare the routes XAUConnect assembles across Jupiter and the major AMMs. There is no approval step — the wallet simulates the transaction and shows the balance changes before you sign, and you keep custody throughout. Quotes reflect live pool state and expire as others trade — re-quote if you pause before signing, and keep a small SOL balance for gas so a trade is never blocked.

How to swap tokens on Solana

Open Swap, set the network to Solana, pick tokens (paste addresses when tickers collide), compare minimum received, review simulation, then sign. Multi-chain names (USDC, ETH, the same memecoin ticker) are local contracts on this chain. A typical swap on Solana on Solana costs a fraction of a cent in base fee plus an optional priority fee during congestion. Keep a little SOL in the wallet so the swap is never blocked; the expensive part of a bad trade is almost always price impact, not the network fee.
