Bridge from Solana to Arbitrum
Move USDC, SOL, ETH from Solana to Arbitrum at the best available rate.
Typical time — usually well under a few minutes on a liquidity bridge.
New to bridging? Move a small test amount first to see how it works — most transfers land in a couple of minutes.
Quotes include a 0.5% service fee that supports Bridgeline. Swaps execute through LI.FI’s audited smart contracts — this site never holds your funds.

Review the quote and fee
You approve the exact amount in your own wallet, with the full fee shown. Cancel any time before you sign.

Confirm and track
Sign the transaction and watch it settle on-chain through LI.FI's audited contracts. Bridgeline is never in the middle.
Bridging Solana to Arbitrum
Moving from Solana to Arbitrum brings SVM value into the deepest DeFi and perpetuals liquidity of any layer 2. You're crossing ecosystems, so the destination is an EVM 0x address and the gas token becomes ETH.
Solana is fast and cheap for active trading, but Arbitrum is where deep EVM DeFi lives — GMX, major lending markets, and perps at a few cents of gas. People bridge this way to put Solana-held value to work in those venues. Once you land, you'll need a little ETH for gas, and it's worth confirming whether you're receiving native or wrapped assets on the Arbitrum side.
Solana
Source- Gas
- Fees are fractions of a cent.
- Speed
- About 0.4-second slots; fast confirmation.
- Ecosystem
- A high-throughput non-EVM chain; Jupiter aggregates liquidity. You need a little SOL on arrival to cover fees and account rent.
Arbitrum
Destination- Gas
- Usually a few cents per swap.
- Speed
- Sub-second confirmations; optimistic-rollup settlement to Ethereum.
- Ecosystem
- The deepest DeFi liquidity of any L2 — perpetuals, GMX, and major DEXs.
Stay safe while bridging
- Approve only what you’re bridging. The widget requests finite token approvals by default — there’s no need to grant an unlimited allowance.
- Check the URL every time. Bookmark this site and confirm the address bar before connecting a wallet.
- Start small for a new route. A tiny test transfer confirms everything works before you move the full amount.
Moving a large amount? Consider a hardware wallet
A hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline, so a compromised browser or a malicious approval can’t drain your funds on its own. It’s the single biggest security upgrade for anyone holding meaningful value on-chain.

Questions about Solana → Arbitrum
Will I have ETH for gas on Arbitrum?
Arbitrum charges gas in ETH, not SOL. If you bridge only USDC, bring a little ETH or use a route that delivers gas on arrival so your first transaction works.
Do I need to leave SOL behind on Solana?
Keep a little SOL on the Solana side to pay for the outgoing transaction and account rent — you generally can't sign the exit once your balance is fully drained.
Which USDC do I receive on Arbitrum?
Prefer native Circle USDC over a bridged version for deeper liquidity. The quote shows the destination token before you approve.
How long does it take?
Usually well under a few minutes on a cross-ecosystem liquidity bridge, since both chains confirm quickly and the bridge pays out from a pool.
