Summary: Solana and Avalanche are two blockchain networks that are popular alternatives for users who wish to avoid the high fees on Ethereum. To bridge between these networks, you will need to use a secure bridging protocol like Allbridge.
When bridging (transferring) your funds from Solana to Avalanche, there are only two bridging protocols you can use. The supported platforms are Portal Token bridge, the native bridge of Solana and Allbridge, a cross-chain bridging protocol that allows bridging between 12 networks.
We recommend using Allbridge as it offers considerably lower fees, shorter waiting (bridging) times and a more diverse selection of bridging assets.
This guide outlines the easiest way for Australian investors to bridge cryptocurrencies from Solana tp Avalanche. In this example we use aaUSDC as the bridging token but you can also send ABR, APYS, AVAX, aaDAI, aaUSDT & aaWBTC. Follow the below steps to get started.
To watch a video walkthrough, follow this Allbridge guide on bridging to and from Solana.
Before you send your funds to Avalanche, you will need to have the Avalanche C-Chain connected to your Metamask Web3 Wallet. To add it, simply select 'Add Networks' on your Metamask extension and fill in the details as per below.
Bridging between any networks can be an expensive endeavour, and it's important to consider the fees that are involved. To bridge from Solana to Avalanche on Allbridge you will need to cover two fees, the bridging fee which is 0.3% flat fee on all transactions and the network transaction fee (gas fee). On Allbridge the gas fee will typically range between $15-$20 AUD.
