To swap SOL to TRX, connect your Solana wallet, choose SOL on Solana as “from” and TRX on Tron as “to”, paste your Tron address and confirm one Solana transaction. On November 5, 2026, $1,000 of SOL quoted 3,137.66 TRX in about 77 seconds through NEAR Intents, before the 0.7% service fee. The Solana fee was about one cent.
Key Takeaways
- Route type: cross-chain in one step; you sign once on Solana, TRX lands on Tron.
- Time: about 77 seconds.
- Cost: about 0.37% route fees and $0.01 of Solana fee, before the 0.7% service fee.
- Main catch: two unrelated address formats. A Solana address is base58 with no fixed prefix; a Tron address always starts with T. Paste the Tron one.
What Is SOL?
SOL is the native coin of Solana. It pays Solana transaction fees and rent deposits for token accounts. Because Solana fees are tiny, nearly all of the cost of this swap is the route fee, not gas. Details: Solana fees.
What Is TRX?
TRX is the native coin of Tron. It pays for bandwidth and energy, the resources a Tron account spends on transfers and contract calls such as USDT (TRC-20) payments. A Tron wallet with USDT but no TRX cannot move that USDT unless it has staked or rented energy.
How the SOL to TRX Swap Works
Solana and Tron have no native link between them; on our check the router used NEAR Intents: your SOL goes to a deposit address in one Solana transaction, and a solver pays out TRX to your Tron address from its own balance. It was the only route found on our check. You do not sign anything on Tron, so the destination wallet can be brand new and empty. See what is an intent-based bridge.
Quotes by Amount (November 5, 2026)
| You send | You receive | TRX per $1 | Route fees | Solana fee | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 of SOL | 313.63 TRX | 3.136 | $0.37 | $0.01 | about 77 s |
| $1,000 of SOL | 3,137.66 TRX | 3.138 | $3.70 | $0.01 | about 77 s |
| $10,000 of SOL | 31,373.61 TRX | 3.137 | $36.97 | $0.01 | about 77 s |
The rate held flat from $100 to $10,000, and the Solana fee did not grow with the amount. Splitting the swap gains nothing; one transaction is enough. Quotes are LI.FI routes before the 0.7% Step Exchange service fee and change every minute.
SOL vs Other Ways to Get TRX (November 5, 2026, $1,000)
| Start with | You receive | Time | Network cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOL on Solana | 3,137.66 TRX | about 77 s | $0.01 |
| BTC on Bitcoin | 3,125.18 TRX | about 29 min | $0.49 |
| BNB on BNB Chain | 3,062.73 TRX | about 30 s | $13.90 |
Same-day checks from our other pair pages. SOL returned the most TRX with the lowest network cost. The BNB Chain route was quicker by estimate, but at $1,000 it was a two-step route with $13.90 of gas; BTC was cheap but waited for Bitcoin confirmations. If you hold several coins, SOL was the cheapest source on that day.
Step by Step
- Copy your Tron address (starts with T).
- Connect your Solana wallet with SOL, keeping a little SOL for the fee.
- From: SOL on Solana. To: TRX on Tron. Paste the Tron address.
- Check the TRX amount and the time.
- Confirm in your Solana wallet; TRX should arrive in about a minute.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Swapping your entire SOL balance: leave a small amount of SOL on Solana for future fees and token account rent, since a transfer fails if it would leave the account below the rent-exempt minimum.
- Pasting your Solana address as recipient: the router needs a Tron address. A base58 Solana address in the Tron field will be rejected or lost.
- Buying TRX when you need USDT: if the goal is dollars on Tron, swap to USDT on Tron directly and keep a smaller TRX top-up for energy.
Reverse on Solana: SOL to BTC. Other ways into Tron: BTC to TRX, BNB to TRX. Dollars from SOL: SOL to USDT.
