Solana and Polygon Bridge Options

There are only two platforms that allow direct bridging between Polygon and Solana. The first is Portal Bridge, Solana's native bridging protocol and Allbridge, a multi-chain bridging platform. These are the only two bridges that allow bridging between Solana and other blockchain networks, most protocols only support bridging between EVM-compatible networks.

Out of the two above-mentioned platforms, we recommend using Allbridge. The platform offers a wider range of bridging token options in comparison to Portal Bridge, plus it has significantly lower fees and faster bridging speeds. In addition to low costs and speed, Allbridge provides an easy-to-navigate UI and is easy for crypto-beginners.

Bridging Fees: Solana and Polygon

When bridging between any networks, it's important to remember the fees that are involved. There are typically two costs to consider, the bridging fee and the gas fee. The bridging fee on Allbridge is a flat 0.3% of your transaction and the gas fee will vary depending on how congested the network is but it typically is around $10AUD through Allbridge.
