TL;DR: Convert ETH to SOL with no KYC

• No registration or documents required.
• Send ETH to a one‑time deposit address; receive SOL after confirmations.
• See rate and fees before sending (fixed or floating quotes).
• Works with MetaMask/Rabby (ETH) and Phantom/Solflare/Backpack (SOL).

Why choose Swapcherry for ETH → SOL

• No account / no KYC: Start in seconds without personal data.
• Transparent quotes: Rate, fees, and expected SOL are shown upfront.
• Fast payout: Once ETH confirms, SOL settles quickly on Solana.

What you’ll need

• A wallet with ETH on Ethereum mainnet
• A Solana receiving address (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Ledger)
• A small buffer of ETH for gas

Tip: Use a fresh SOL address for each swap to improve privacy and wallet hygiene.

How to convert ETH to SOL (step‑by‑step)

1. Open the Swapcherry widget and select ETH → SOL.
2. Paste your SOL address and choose a quote type (fixed or floating).
3. Review the live quote: rate, service fee, network fees, expected SOL.
4. Confirm to get a one‑time ETH deposit address.
5. Send the exact ETH amount within the quote window.
6. After confirmations, receive SOL automatically to your wallet.

Solana address tips (compatibility and best practice)

• Solana addresses are base58 strings; use a mainnet address from your wallet.
• No memo is required for native SOL to personal wallets.
• Avoid devnet/testnet addresses for production funds.

Ethereum‑specific considerations (important)

• Gas (EIP‑1559): Use a reasonable priority fee—very low gas can delay confirmation.
• Correct network: Send on Ethereum mainnet unless your quote states otherwise.
• Stuck txs: Use RBF to speed up or replace a pending transaction if needed.

Fees, confirmations, and timing (plain‑English)

• Fees: ETH gas varies with congestion; Solana fees are tiny.
• Confirmations: SOL payout starts after required ETH confirmations.
• Timing: Once released, SOL finalizes quickly under normal conditions.

Quotes, slippage, and expirations

• Quotes track liquidity and may change—especially for floating rates.
• If a fixed‑rate quote expires before ETH confirms, restart with a fresh quote.

Fixed vs floating rate: which to use?

• Fixed: Locks your rate briefly—use when you need a set SOL amount.
• Floating: Executes at market on arrival—simpler timing, variable final SOL.

Privacy tips when going ETH → SOL

• Use a fresh SOL address per swap.
• Avoid reusing the same ETH sender for unrelated activities if privacy matters.
• Split very large swaps over time to reduce correlation.

Paying the invoice: exact, partial, or overpayments

• Exact: Fastest settlement, minimal review.
• Under/Over: Small deltas may auto‑recalculate; large ones may need manual handling.

Refunds and safety

• Refunds, when applicable, are typically returned in ETH to the originating address.
• Orders are screened under our AML policy. Review our privacy and terms.

Large swaps: good practice

• Start with a small test swap.
• Split big transfers to reduce operational and market risk.

Explorer checks (what you can and can’t see)

• Ethereum explorers show your send, gas, and confirmations.
• Solana explorers show the payout transaction, destination, amount, and confirmations.

Worked example (fixed vs floating)

1. You hold 5.2 ETH and want SOL to a new Phantom address.
2. Fixed quote: Lock a rate, send 5.2000 ETH, receive the quoted SOL if confirmation is on time.
3. Floating quote: Send 5.2000 ETH without a lock; final SOL depends on market at execution.

Troubleshooting

• SOL hasn’t arrived: Confirm your ETH transaction finalized; then check the SOL transaction in a Solana explorer.
• Wrong amount sent: Contact support with the ETH tx hash; small deltas may auto‑recalculate.
• Expired quote: Generate a fresh quote and resend within the time window.
