Introduction
The 1inch dApp now supports seamless swaps between Solana and EVM-compatible blockchains using our advanced 1inch Cross-Chain technology—all without using traditional bridges. This means you can swap assets across chains directly, with MEV protection and optimal rates.
What is the Solana to EVM cross-chain swap?
The Solana–EVM Cross-Chain Swap allows you to exchange tokens between the Solana network and EVM-compatible chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, Gnosis Chain, zkSync Era, and others—directly from the 1inch dApp.
Unlike conventional cross-chain solutions that rely on bridges (where you lock assets on one chain and mint them on another), 1inch Cross-Chain Swap executes swaps natively across chains using an intent-based architecture and a network of competing resolvers.
How it works
Connect your wallets
(See the detailed guide on connecting wallets.)Set your swap intent
Select the source chain, destination chain, tokens, and amount in the 1inch dApp.
Entering a destination address is required for cross-chain swaps with Solana.
You have to choose one of the following:
When both Solana and EVM wallets are connected: the destination address field is pre-filled with the connected wallet for the destination chain. You can edit this field if you want tokens sent to another address.
When only one wallet is connected: the destination address field will be empty. You must manually enter the correct address for the destination chain.
Resolvers compete to fulfill your order
Professional market makers, called resolvers, participate in a Dutch auction, competing to execute your swap at the best possible rate.
Cross-chain execution
Instead of bridging, the resolver handles both sides of the trade—buying the destination token on one chain while selling the source token on the other.
Completion
You receive your destination tokens directly in your wallet—no wrapped assets, no bridge delays, no custody risk.
Key benefits
No bridges, no wrapped tokens—avoid the risks of bridge hacks and complex wrapping/unwrapping steps.
Self-custody—your assets remain under your control until the swap is completed.
Low fees—Solana network costs are typically under $0.01.
MEV protection—safeguards against front-running and sandwich attacks.
Best rates—Dutch auction competition ensures optimal execution.
