Why This Route Is Fast
BNB Chain and Solana both finalize in seconds, and intent-based routes pay you on the destination chain right after your source transaction is seen, instead of waiting for a slow bridge. More: what is an intent-based bridge.
SOL to BNB
The reverse works the same way: SOL on Solana as the source, BNB on BNB Chain as the destination and your 0x address. In our test 7 SOL (about $728) returned about $728 of BNB. Keep about 0.01 SOL for future Solana fees.
Step by Step
- Connect your wallet on BNB Chain with BNB.
- From: BNB. To: SOL on Solana.
- Enter your Solana address.
- Confirm; SOL arrives in seconds.
Gem Wallet holds BNB and SOL in one self-custodial app, so both addresses are ready.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Swapping all BNB and leaving no gas.
- Wrong address format in the destination field.
- Tiny amounts: fixed route fees take a larger share below about $50.
