How the Solana route works
This is the one route where the two sides live on different virtual machines, and everything specific about it follows from that fact. Solana is not an EVM network: its addresses are base58 strings, while Robinhood Chain addresses start with 0x. So the bridge uses two identities — your Solana wallet connects and signs on the source side, and a separate EVM address receives on Robinhood Chain. Your Solana address can never be the recipient, and the interface will reject it if pasted into the recipient field. Under the hood the transfer is an intent-based route provided via Relay: you deposit on Solana, a filler delivers on Robinhood Chain, and the live quote prices the whole path before you commit to anything.
What you need before you start
Two things, and it saves trouble to have both ready before entering an amount. First, a Solana wallet holding the funds — Phantom, Solflare and Backpack all work as source wallets. Second, an EVM address you control for receiving on Robinhood Chain. The recommended path is connecting an EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby alongside your Solana wallet; pasting an address works too, with the full address shown for confirmation before it is used. Do not plan to view the funds in Phantom afterward: Phantom currently neither displays Robinhood Chain nor allows adding custom networks, so receive into a wallet that can show chain ID 4663 — MetaMask and Rabby both can, once the network is added.
What you receive on Robinhood Chain
ETH, regardless of which asset you send. Native SOL is converted along the route and delivered as ETH — a conversion at the quoted rate, not the same token on a new network. USDC and USDT from Solana are likewise delivered as ETH today; USDG may become a selectable output in a future update. There is a practical upside to this default: ETH is the gas token of Robinhood Chain, so you arrive able to transact immediately instead of holding an asset you cannot move. The quote names the output token and the minimum received before you sign — that quote, not this page, is the source of truth for your specific transfer.
Fees and timing on this route
The quote shows network gas on Solana, the routing cost, and price impact where a swap is involved — SOL to ETH always involves one. Solana's own gas is negligible; on small amounts the dominant line is price impact, and the quote makes it visible before you sign. As a reference point, our automated checks on this route consistently return quotes for documented test amounts with estimated times of about 2 seconds. Exact rates move continuously with liquidity and pricing — your live quote is the number that matters, and the supported-networks table on the homepage reflects the latest checks.
If something looks wrong
The recipient field rejects anything that is not a valid EVM address — a pasted Solana address will simply not be accepted, which is the interface working as intended. If the bridge shows pending, give it the estimated time from the quote plus margin, then check your deposit transaction in a Solana explorer such as Solscan: if it failed there, the transfer never started; if it confirmed, watch the recipient address at robinhoodchain.blockscout.com. Funds delivered but "invisible" almost always means the viewing wallet does not show Robinhood Chain — the explorer is the ground truth, and adding the network (chain ID 4663, RPC https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com) to MetaMask or Rabby makes the balance appear. Keep your transaction hash; every support conversation starts from it.
How this page is verified
The availability and sample quotes above come from automated probes against the live route, run for documented test amounts — the supported-networks table on the homepage reflects them. Verified end-to-end transfer evidence for this route (transaction hashes, measured delivery times, wallet screenshots) will be published here once our monitored canary transfers complete, before this page is promoted in search.
