How to Swap ETH to SOL — Step-by-Step Guide
Send ETH from Ethereum and receive SOL on Solana in one swap. No CEX, no account, no manual bridging: AEXI compares 58 providers across 86 networks and settles the route atomically. Here is the exact walkthrough, from wallet to received SOL.
Why Swapping ETH to SOL Is Not Just a Token Change
ETH lives on Ethereum; SOL lives on its own chain. A regular DEX only moves within one ecosystem, so an ETH-to-SOL trade normally means wrapping, bridging and swapping across three separate steps — each with its own fee and potential failure point.
AEXI treats it as a single swap: one atomic route that swaps your ETH on Ethereum through the cheapest bridge and liquidity path, then pays you SOL on Solana. Either the full route completes, or your ETH comes straight back.
Step 1 — Connect Your Wallet
Open the AEXI app and connect MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet or any of the 300+ wallets supported through Reown AppKit. Your keys never leave your wallet — nothing moves until you sign.
Make sure the connected account holds ETH on Ethereum. If you only have SOL on Solana, flip the direction of the swap and AEXI will route it the other way.
Step 2 — Set the Pair and Amount
Choose the source token ETH on Ethereum and the destination token SOL on Solana, then enter the amount. AEXI quotes instantly: the exact SOL output, the network fee and the expected completion time.
Step 3 — Confirm and Track the Swap
Review the numbers and confirm in your wallet. The request page follows the swap live — from payment received to payout sent.
Cross-ecosystem routes like EVM to Solana settle in roughly 1-5 minutes while the bridge leg confirms. Same-chain swaps usually land in under 60 seconds.
What You Should Expect to Pay
Because AEXI is an aggregator, you only pay the underlying bridge and DEX fees of the winning route — no markup on top. Gas is paid in the source asset (ETH on Ethereum); destination gas on Solana is included, so your fresh wallet is never stranded with a zero balance.
