With that said, let's start by selecting an exchange.

Step 1: Select an Exchange

The main issue beginners face is selecting the right exchange. Finding a reliable and trustworthy platform is the key. Before you begin the process of riding between 2 blockchains, you must register on a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the tokens you want to trade. Here are some popular exchanges:

Binance
Coinbase
Kraken
Gemini
Robinhood

For this guide on how to bridge from Ethereum to Solana, we'll be using Binance.

Go to the app store and download the Binance app on your phone.

Step 2: Login to Your Account

Once the app is installed, the next step is to log in to your account.

We'll be using our Gmail account to log in quickly.

Note: To do any exchange or trading, you must have a verified account. To learn how to create and verify your Binance account, check out our guide on how to use Binance.

Step 3: Adding Funds to Your Account

Now that your account is ready, you need to have funds. There are usually several options to fund your account.

You can choose from the following options if you don't have any crypto assets.

Buy with GBP: You can add funds using a bank transfer or credit/debit card.
P2P Trading: You can buy directly from another user on the platform.

However, if you have crypto assets in your account, you can go with the:

Deposit Crypto: You can exchange other cryptocurrencies for GBP.

Before proceeding, make sure you are aware of deposit fees and transfer times. Once you've deposited GBP into your account, you'll have to convert it into USDC. It's a fairly simple process. However, we'll be adding USDC directly to your wallet using a credit/debit card.

First, you need to open the Binance app and tap on the search bar.

Search for "Buy Crypto" and tap on it.

Step 4: Creating Wallets

The very first step in learning how to bridge Eth to Solana is creating a Phantom wallet. This wallet will serve as your endpoint for Solana-based tokens after the bridging process.

Download the "Phantom Wallet" app to your mobile phone.

Once downloaded, open the app and agree to the terms of service. After that, tap on the "Create a new wallet" button.

Note: If you already have an account, then simply tap on the "I already have a wallet" option.

Toggle the "Face ID" switch to on and tap the "Next" button.

Copy the recovery phrase and tap on the "OK, I saved it somewhere" button.

A pop-up will appear on the screen. Tap on "Yes" to continue.

Now, your account is ready. Just tap on the "Get Started" button.

Now that you have set up the wallet, you need to add USDC to both your wallets.

Step 5: Adding USDC to Wallet

Here's how you can add USDC to your Phantom Wallet. We'll be using USDC on the Ethereum blockchain to show you how to bridge from Ethereum to Solana.

Go to the Binance app and tap on the "Withdraw" icon.

Again, tap on the "Withdraw" option.

Choose the USDC option.

Tap on the "Send via Crypto Network" option.

Now open your Phantom Wallet and tap on the "Ethereum" option.

Now tap on the "Receive" icon.

Copy the address for USDC.

Go back and paste the previously copied USDC address of your Phantom Wallet.

Select the network by which you want to send this USDC.

Enter the amount of USDC you want to send and tap on the "Withdraw" button.

Tap on the "Confirm" button.

Complete the authentication process for both Email and the Authenticator App.

Step 6: Bridging Ethereum and Solana Tokens

This section focuses specifically on the final and most crucial step: using tools like the Portal Bridge to bridge ETH to Solana. Be sure to double-check all addresses before completing the transaction.

Open the Phantom Wallet app and go to the "Explore" tab.

FAQ

Here are some FAQs for bridging ETH to SOL.

1. How do you bridge back to ETH from Sol?

To bridge back to Ethereum from Solana, you can use the Portal Bridge in reverse. Start by transferring your tokens from your Solana wallet to your Phantom wallet. From there, follow the steps in the Portal Bridge, selecting the Solana blockchain as the origin and Ethereum as the destination. Always double-check your addresses before confirming the transaction.

2. How to send SOL from Trust Wallet?

To send SOL from Trust Wallet, open the app, navigate to your Solana wallet, and tap on the "Send" button. Enter the recipient's wallet address, specify the amount of SOL you want to send, and confirm the transaction. Ensure the address is correct to avoid losing your funds.

3. How much does it cost to bridge ETH to Sol?

The cost of bridging ETH to Solana depends on several factors, including gas fees on the Ethereum network, Solana transaction fees, and any additional fees charged by the bridging tool (e.g., Portal Bridge). Ethereum gas fees can fluctuate significantly, so it’s best to check current rates before proceeding.

4. What is the best bridge to Sol?

Portal Bridge is one of the most popular and reliable tools for bridging Ethereum to Solana. It offers a seamless user experience and compatibility with multiple wallets, including Phantom. Always research other options as well to ensure you're using a secure and cost-effective bridge.

5. Can I use a different wallet for Solana instead of Phantom?

Yes, you can use other Solana-compatible wallets like Solflare or Exodus. However, ensure the wallet supports bridging and is compatible with the Portal Bridge or any other tool you’re using for the transaction. Always prioritize wallets with strong security features and good user reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
