Swap SOL from Solana to BNB on BNB Chain

Swap SOL from Solana to BNB on BNB Chain. SOL leaves Solana, and native BNB is what can arrive. You trade one fee coin for the fee coin on chain id 56.

SOL is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 in the quote, the wrapped mint. Phantom signs, Solscan shows it, native SOL pays the source fee, and there is no ERC-20 approval. BNB is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on BNB Chain. BscScan shows the native balance. Blocks are about 3 seconds. This is not pegged ETH and not a dollar peg. It is not ETH on Ethereum, chain id 1.

Two gas coins, two address styles

So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 means nothing in an Ethereum token box. 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means nothing in Phantom. Do not paste either into the other's form. Do not import the sentinel as a BEP-20. Read the BNB row on chain id 56. If you empty native SOL, the transaction that was supposed to buy BNB never starts.

Pegged ETH is the decoy

0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 wears the ticker ETH and cannot pay fees. People buy it when they meant BNB. This page is the gas route. It is the wrong page when a contract wants that peg, pegged USDT, or pegged USDC. WBTC is not an output, and WBTC is not native bitcoin. BscScan is how you prove you received BNB rather than a token that merely sounds like a major asset.

Block speed is not hop speed

About 3 seconds is BNB Chain. About 12 seconds is Ethereum on Etherscan, which you are not funding. The bridge is a third interval, and this page will not guess it. BNB Chain is the arrival. Wait for native BNB on the destination. Phantom going to zero SOL is the debit. It is not, by itself, the credit.

Cross only when chain id 56 is where you will transact

If you need SOL for Solana fees, selling it for BNB is the opposite of the job. If you need mainnet ETH, this BNB cannot pay it. If you need a dollar, a peg route keeps price risk smaller. The minimum BNB should be enough for the transactions you already know you will send. Refuse a floor that leaves you short of gas on the chain you just paid to enter.

Frequently asked questions

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

SOL is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 in the quote, the wrapped mint. Phantom signs, Solscan shows it, native SOL pays the source fee, and there is no ERC-20 approval.

Are the SOL mint and the BNB sentinel the same idea?

No. SOL is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112, an SPL mint on Solscan, held in Phantom, with no ERC-20 approval. BNB is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on chain id 56, shown on BscScan as native gas. Native SOL still pays the source fee. The two balances cannot pay each other's chains. Keep the destination gas token or the arrival cannot move.

Does this BNB work on Ethereum?

No. Ethereum is chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, explorer Etherscan, fee coin ETH. This arrival pays BNB Chain only. About 3 second blocks describe chain id 56, not the bridge and not mainnet. If you needed mainnet gas, this route is the wrong destination.

What if I needed the token labeled ETH on BscScan?

Use the pegged ETH route. That contract is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8, and native BNB will not satisfy it. This page is for gas. Leave enough SOL in Phantom to sign, and check the BNB row rather than a token list after you switch to chain id 56.
