Swap SOL from Solana to DAI on Ethereum

Swap SOL from Solana to DAI on Ethereum. SOL leaves Solana, and Maker DAI is what can arrive on Ethereum. You are selling a gas coin for Maker's dollar.

SOL is quoted as So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Phantom signs the wrapped mint, Solscan shows it, and native SOL pays the fee. There is no ERC-20 approval. DAI is 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F on chain id 1. Etherscan is the explorer. Blocks are about 12 seconds. DAI is not Circle and not Tether. ETH at 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE pays every later move.

Maker's dollar is a deliberate choice

DAI is crypto-collateralized inside Maker's system. Circle on mainnet is 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48. Tether is 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7, with its allowance reset behavior. If a policy names either of those, this route is the wrong arrival even though all three can trade near a dollar. Etherscan has to show the Maker contract. A DAI balance on another chain is not this credit.

The SOL fee is paid before Ethereum ever sees you

Empty the native SOL and the wrapped mint never leaves. So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 in the quote does not remove the need for a fee payer. MetaMask will stay dark during that debit. Solscan is the source of truth. Only later does an EVM wallet matter, and it needs ETH or the DAI cannot be transferred, sold, or deposited.

Twelve second blocks describe the destination chain only

They do not describe the bridge, and they do not describe Solana. Refreshing Etherscan every block and then signing again is how people double-spend the mint. Wait for 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F on the destination address. How cross-chain bridges work is the reason the two explorers update on different clocks. This page will not invent the gap.

Skip mainnet if DAI was not the asset you will hold

SOL to ETH buys gas. SOL to WETH buys the canonical wrapper. SOL to USDC or USDT buys a different issuer. SOL to DAI is right when Maker's token is what the contract calls. Otherwise you have sold a fee coin on Solana for a stablecoin you must bridge again. Read the minimum DAI and refuse a floor you would not keep.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap SOL from Solana to DAI on Ethereum?

SOL is quoted as So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Phantom signs the wrapped mint, Solscan shows it, and native SOL pays the fee.

Is DAI from SOL the same as Circle USDC?

No. Maker DAI at 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F is the arrival on Ethereum, chain id 1. Circle and Tether are different contracts. SOL left as the wrapped mint So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Check Etherscan. If the desk rejects DAI, this route is wrong, and DAI cannot pay gas. Keep the destination gas token or the arrival cannot move.

What do I leave in Phantom?

Native SOL for the fee. The quote can spend the wrapped mint, but the signature still needs SOL. There is no ERC-20 approval on Solscan for that mint. After the hop, the Ethereum wallet needs ETH, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, before DAI can move. Phantom will not display the ERC-20.

Do Ethereum's 12 second blocks time this bridge?

No. They describe chain id 1 only. The bridge between Solscan and Etherscan has its own wait, and this page does not schedule it. Do not send a second SOL transfer because DAI is not visible yet. Confirm 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F on the destination address first. The quote minimum is the floor, and a thin floor is a reason to stop.
