Swap SOL from Solana to USDC on BNB Chain
Swap SOL from Solana to USDC on BNB Chain. SOL leaves Solana, and Binance-Peg USDC is what can arrive, an 18-decimal token rather than Circle's 6-decimal mainnet contract.
The quote names So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112, the wrapped SOL mint. Phantom signs it, Solscan shows it, native SOL pays the fee, and there is no ERC-20 approval. The peg is 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d on chain id 56. BscScan is the explorer. Blocks are about 3 seconds. BNB at 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE pays gas afterward. Ethereum USDC is a different chain.
Do not read this balance with six-decimal habits
Selling SOL still requires SOL
About 3 seconds does not schedule BscScan
Stay in SOL or in a Solana mint when BNB Chain is not the venue

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap SOL from Solana to USDC on BNB Chain?
The quote names So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112, the wrapped SOL mint. Phantom signs it, Solscan shows it, native SOL pays the fee, and there is no ERC-20 approval.
Is pegged USDC from SOL the Ethereum USDC contract?
No. You receive 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d on BNB Chain, chain id 56, and it uses 18 decimals. Ethereum Circle is 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on chain id 1. SOL left as the wrapped mint. Check BscScan. BNB pays gas. About 3 second blocks are not the bridge. Switch the wallet to the destination chain before you judge the balance.
Can I spend all my SOL on this swap?
No. Native SOL pays the fee even though the quote says So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Leave a remainder or Phantom cannot sign. There is no ERC-20 approval on that mint. The USDC that arrives still needs BNB, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, before it can move. Do not send a second time while the first transfer is still open.
What if the app wants Tether on BNB Chain?
This page is wrong. Pegged USDT is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, not the USDC peg. Switch routes before you sell SOL. Confirm whichever contract you do receive on BscScan, chain id 56, and do not assume a dollar ticker selects the address for you. Confirm the contract on the explorer before you sign.
