How to swap ETH to SOL: network, quote, and wallet guide
A ETH→SOL swap moves value from Ethereum to Solana. Monivo compares estimates returned by connected providers for your amount; the provider you select issues the deposit address, executes the swap, and sends SOL to your wallet.
TL;DR
- • Choose ETH → SOL and enter the amount you will actually send.
- • Match the source and destination networks before copying an address.
- • Compare estimated SOL output, rate type, minimum, and expiry.
- • The selected provider issues the deposit address and executes the swap.
- • Most swaps complete in under 10 minutes; timing is not guaranteed.
What changes from ETH to SOL
You are giving up Ethereum, a asset available through multiple network representations, and receiving Solana, a native blockchain asset. The important change is not only the ticker: the destination wallet must support Solana, while the sending wallet must use the exact deposit network and amount in the order.
Network and address checklist
- • Use an address that supports SOL on Solana; a familiar ticker does not prove the network matches.
- • ETH or SOL can exist on more than one network. Match the network named in the quote on both the sending and receiving sides.
- • If the receiving wallet supplies a memo or tag, copy it exactly; otherwise do not invent one.
- • Compare the first and last six characters of the SOL address after pasting it.
How to read the live estimate
- Coverage
- A provider appears only when it returns an executable ETH→SOL estimate for your amount. Missing providers are unavailable, not zero-priced.
- Estimated output
- Compare the estimated SOL delivered, not a headline rate. Provider pricing and payout costs are reflected in that estimate; your sending wallet may charge separately.
- Fixed or floating
- A fixed quote holds its stated output only under the provider's amount, expiry, and deposit-window terms. A floating quote is calculated at execution and can move.
- Minimum and expiry
- Use the minimum and expiry shown with the current quote. Refresh after changing the amount, asset, network, or after a quote expires.
Step-by-step: swap ETH to SOL
Step 1
Enter the ETH amount
Select ETH on Ethereum mainnet. ETH held on Base, Arbitrum, Optimism or another network is a different deposit route unless the quote lists it. Choose Solana (SOL) as the destination and enter the amount you plan to send; minimums and provider coverage are recalculated for that amount.
Step 2
Compare estimated SOL payouts
Compare providers by the estimated SOL delivered to your wallet, together with fixed or floating terms, instead of judging the headline ETH/SOL rate alone.
Step 3
Choose fixed or floating terms
Fixed terms lock the stated SOL output if your deposit arrives within the provider's window. Floating terms follow the execution rate, so the final SOL amount can move while the ETH deposit confirms.
Step 4
Verify the SOL address
Paste a Solana address you control and compare the first and last characters. Do not use an Ethereum (0x…) address.
Step 5
Send the exact ETH deposit
Check the one-time deposit address, amount, network and expiry before sending. Your wallet adds Ethereum gas on top of the deposit, so keep a little extra ETH in the sending wallet.
Step 6
Track the SOL payout
Keep the Monivo order link and your ETH transaction ID. The order page follows confirmations and the provider's progress until SOL is sent to your address.
Illustrative example
Example: swapping 1 ETH for SOL
A wallet holder has 1 ETH and wants Solana (SOL) delivered to a wallet they control, without opening a Monivo account.
- 1.They enter 1 ETH and compare the estimated SOL payouts returned for that amount.
- 2.They pick fixed or floating terms after checking the minimum, deposit window and expiry shown with each quote.
- 3.They verify the SOL address and network, send the exact quoted ETH deposit, and keep the order link and transaction ID.
Live-quote note: No SOL amount is assumed here. The live quote determines the payout, minimum, expiry and executing provider, and that provider may apply its own compliance checks.
Connected provider availability
Currently connected swap providers: ChangeNOW, SimpleSwap, LetsExchange, StealthEX, Godex, Changelly, FixedFloat, ChangeHero, Lizex, Swapuz. This is an availability list, not a ranking. A provider is usable for a particular swap only when it returns a current estimate for that pair, amount, and network.

Fees, rates, and safety
A ETH→SOL swap has two cost layers: the selected provider's pricing and payout cost, already reflected in the quoted estimate, and any network or withdrawal charge your own sending wallet or exchange applies when you send Ethereum.
Monivo adds no separate platform fee, and the estimate remains subject to the selected provider's terms. The aggregated quote shows the estimated SOL you receive before you deposit — compare that net estimate, not the headline rate; the provider that executes the swap confirms the final amount.
Use a fixed rate to lock the price before depositing, or a floating rate to settle at market when your deposit confirms. Always verify the destination network and the first and last 6 characters of your SOL address before sending.
If something does not match
Before sending
If the network, address, amount, rate type, or expiry is wrong, stop and request a new quote. Never test an uncertain address with the full amount.
After sending
Do not send a second deposit. Save the ETH transaction hash and order reference, check on-chain confirmations, then contact 24/7 live support if the status does not advance.
Wrong amount or late deposit
The provider may reprice or return the deposit under its terms. Only the executing provider can confirm the outcome once funds were sent.
ETH → SOL FAQ
How long does a ETH to SOL swap take?
Most crypto-to-crypto swaps complete in under 10 minutes. Actual time depends on source-chain confirmations and the executing provider, so this is typical, not guaranteed.
Do I need an account or KYC for ETH to SOL?
A standard crypto-to-crypto swap does not require a Monivo account, and Monivo does not run identity verification for it. The executing provider applies its own AML policy and may request verification on an individual order.
What fees apply to ETH to SOL?
Monivo adds no separate platform fee. The provider's spread and payout network cost are reflected in the estimate; your sending wallet or exchange may charge a separate withdrawal or network fee.
What is the minimum ETH amount?
Minimums depend on the provider, pair, network, and current conditions. The valid minimum is the one shown with the live estimate.
What if my SOL wallet uses another network?
Do not send until the destination network matches the quote. A SOL ticker can exist on multiple networks, and recovery from a mismatch may be impossible.
How do I swap Ethereum for Solana?
Select ETH as the asset to send and SOL as the asset to receive, enter your amount, and compare the live estimates returned by connected providers. Choose a quote, verify your SOL wallet address and network, then send the exact ETH deposit to the one-time address and follow the order link until payout.
Should I use a fixed or floating rate for ETH to SOL?
Choose fixed terms when the stated SOL estimate matters and you can send the exact deposit within the provider's window. A floating quote follows the execution rate, so the final SOL amount can move while the ETH deposit confirms.
Which wallet can receive a ETH to SOL swap?
Use a wallet you control that supports SOL on Solana. Copy the receiving address, compare its first and last characters, and include a memo or destination tag only when that wallet supplies one.
How can I track my ETH to SOL exchange?
Keep the Monivo order link and your ETH transaction hash. The tracking page follows source-chain confirmations and the executing provider's status; if it stops advancing, do not send again and contact 24/7 live support with those references.
What happens if my ETH to SOL quote expires?
Do not send to an expired deposit instruction. Request a fresh live quote and recheck the amount, network, destination address, rate type, and provider before making the ETH deposit.
