Swap SOL from Solana to USDT on BNB Chain
Swap SOL from Solana to USDT on BNB Chain. SOL leaves Solana, and Binance-pegged USDT is what can arrive. Count it in 18 decimals, not in Ethereum's 6.
The mint in the quote is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Phantom signs, Solscan records, native SOL pays, and there is no ERC-20 approval. The peg is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 on chain id 56. BscScan is the explorer. Blocks are about 3 seconds. Ethereum Tether is 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on chain id 1 and is not this token. BNB at 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE pays the next fee.
BSC-USD is not the Tether contract traders know from mainnet
Leave SOL, or the wrapped mint stays put
Three second blocks are the chain, not the bridge
Pegged USDC, native BNB, and mainnet Tether are other jobs

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap SOL from Solana to USDT on BNB Chain?
The mint in the quote is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Phantom signs, Solscan records, native SOL pays, and there is no ERC-20 approval.
Does SOL become Ethereum's 6-decimal USDT?
No. The arrival is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, an 18-decimal peg on BNB Chain, chain id 56. Ethereum Tether is 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on chain id 1. SOL left as the wrapped mint. Check BscScan. BNB pays gas. About 3 second blocks do not time the bridge. Keep the destination gas token or the arrival cannot move.
Why must I keep SOL if I am selling SOL?
Native SOL pays the Phantom fee. The quote's mint So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 does not remove that need. There is no ERC-20 approval. Empty the fee balance and the send never broadcasts. On the other side, hold BNB, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, or the peg cannot move. The quote minimum is the floor, and a thin floor is a reason to stop.
Is pegged USDC an acceptable substitute here?
Only if the receiver accepts 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. This route does not deliver it. If the app named the USDT peg, stay on this page. If it named USDC, switch. Confirm the contract on BscScan before you treat a dollar balance as the right dollar. A block interval is not a delivery time for the bridge.
