To bridge Solana to Base, choose SOL or USDC on Solana as “from” and the token you want on Base as “to”, review the route and confirm. Unlike EVM-to-EVM routes, the addresses differ: Solana uses base58 addresses, Base uses 0x addresses, so make sure the destination is your Base address. Gas on Base is paid in ETH.

Step by Step

- From: SOL or USDC on Solana. To: USDC or ETH on Base.
- Check the destination: it must be a 0x address on Base.

- Keep some SOL on Solana for future transactions there.
