Bridge from Solana to Optimism
Move USDC, SOL, ETH from Solana to Optimism 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.
Four steps, all signed in your own wallet.
- 01
Connect your wallet
Connect inside the bridge box. That's the only place Bridgeline ever asks — this site never sees your keys.
- 02
Pick your token and amount
Choose what you're moving, from which chain to which chain, and how much.
- 03
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.
- 04
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 Optimism
Moving from Solana to Optimism brings SVM value into an EVM rollup in the OP-Stack Superchain. You're crossing ecosystems, so the destination is a 0x address and gas is paid in ETH once you arrive.
Solana is fast and cheap, but Optimism plugs into the broader Ethereum L2 world — the Superchain, Velodrome, and shared standards with Base. People bridge this way to use those apps or hold ETH-denominated assets on a rollup that settles to Ethereum. Keep a little SOL on the Solana side to cover the exit, and expect to need a little ETH for gas on Optimism.
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.
Optimism
Destination- Gas
- Typically a few cents per swap.
- Speed
- About 2-second blocks; an OP-Stack rollup settling to Ethereum.
- Ecosystem
- Anchor of the Superchain; home to Velodrome and retroactive public-goods funding.
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 → Optimism
Will I have ETH for gas on Optimism?
Optimism charges gas in ETH, not SOL. Bring a little ETH or use a route that delivers gas on arrival so your first transaction works.
Should I keep some SOL on Solana?
Yes — leave a little SOL to pay for the outgoing transaction and account rent, since you generally can't sign the exit with a fully drained balance.
Which USDC do I receive on Optimism?
Prefer native Circle USDC over a bridged version. The quote shows the destination token before you sign.
How long does it take?
Usually well under a few minutes on a cross-ecosystem liquidity bridge, since both chains confirm quickly.
