How to Bridge Solana to Flow: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you’re looking to bridge assets from Solana to Flow, whether it’s for DeFi farming, NFT trading, or ecosystem exploration, you’re in the right place. The process is simple and straightforward. Follow this guide to seamlessly transfer your tokens between these two powerful blockchain networks.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• Phantom Wallet (for Solana transactions)
• MetaMask Wallet (configured for Flow EVM)

Since Flow EVM supports popular Ethereum-based wallets like MetaMask, you’ll need to add Flow EVM manuallybefore bridging assets.

Step 1: Add Flow EVM to MetaMask

To interact with Flow EVM, follow these steps to add it to MetaMask:

1. Open the MetaMask extension in your browser.
2. Click the network selection dropdown at the top.
3. Select Add Network → Add a network manually.
4. Enter the Flow EVM details:
   • Network Name: Flow EVM Mainnet
   • New RPC URL: https://mainnet.evm.nodes.onflow.org
   • Chain ID: 747
   • Currency Symbol: FLOW
   • Block Explorer URL: https://evm.flowscan.io/

Once you’ve added Flow EVM, your MetaMask wallet is ready to bridge assets.

Step 2: Bridge Assets from Solana to Flow

Now, let’s transfer tokens using LayerZero:

1. Visit bridge.flow.com.
2. Select Solana → Flow as the bridge pair.
3. Choose the asset to transfer (currently only $PYUSD is supported).
4. Enter the amount you wish to bridge and click Review Bridge.
5. Review the transfer details, including:
   • Bridge method
   • Estimated transfer time
   • Gas fees
6. Click Continue to proceed.

⚠ Important: Before confirming, ensure your destination wallet supports Flow EVM Mainnet. Do not send tokens directly to an exchange, as you might lose them permanently.

7. Approve the transaction in your Phantom Wallet.
8. Wait approximately 3 minutes for the bridge transfer to complete.

Step 3: Verify & Access Your Funds

Once the transaction is completed, you’ll see a confirmation screen with success indicators.

• Check your transaction status on Solscan, Flowscan, or LayerZero Explorer.
• To view bridged tokens in MetaMask, manually add $USDF to your assets.
• To swap $USDF for other tokens on Flow, use KittyPunch.swap.
