Pick ETH as your "send" coin, paste your SOL wallet address, and hit swap. CoinVast quotes one rate, a flat 2% spread locked the moment you create the swap, shows a deposit address, and once the Ethereum network confirms your transaction (12 confirmations, roughly 3 minutes), your SOL arrives in your wallet. Minimum send is 0.005 ETH. On the Solana side, 1 confirmation is all it takes, and since Solana confirms in about 400 milliseconds, that part is basically a rounding error. Total time from start to SOL in hand is about 5 to 10 minutes, and nobody asks for your passport or your life story.

Ethereum is the financial district. Solana is the express lane. Both are packed with things to do, but they move at very different speeds, and at some point you're going to look at a five dollar gas fee and think "I could do this on Solana for a fraction of a penny."
Solana processes thousands of transactions per second with fees that are genuinely hard to measure without a microscope. That makes it the natural habitat for traders who move fast, DeFi protocols that need cheap execution, NFT drops where timing matters, and the entire memecoin economy that somehow became a legitimate sector of crypto. Ethereum, meanwhile, is where the heavyweights live: deep liquidity, blue chip DeFi, and the kind of infrastructure that institutions actually trust. Both chains are thriving in 2026, but they attract different types of activity.
The ETH to SOL swap has surged in popularity because people figured out something useful: you can keep your serious assets on Ethereum and rotate into Solana whenever you want speed, low fees, or access to an ecosystem that moves at a completely different tempo. Solana's 2026 lineup is enormous. Liquid staking protocols, perpetual DEXs with full order books, NFT marketplaces, gaming projects, and a memecoin scene that launches something new roughly every seven minutes. All of it runs on SOL, and if your entire portfolio is sitting on Ethereum, you're watching half the action through a window.
Swapping should not involve creating an account, uploading documents, or explaining to a compliance officer why you want to move your own crypto between two chains. CoinVast handles ETH to SOL through a non custodial flow. You keep your keys, you keep your privacy, and your SOL shows up before you finish reading this paragraph.
Confirmation counts and minimums above are the live values our exchange engine uses, not marketing copy. Block times are network averages and can vary.
Choose how much ETH you are sending. The card quotes your SOL payout with the spread and network fee already counted in. Paste the Solana address the payout should land at, plus an optional ETH refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
You get a deposit address on the Ethereum network. Send your ETH to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 0.005 ETH. No account, no email, nothing to install.
Your deposit needs 12 confirmations on Ethereum, about 3 minutes. We screen it before the exchange starts, then send SOL to your address and post the transaction hash on your order page.
Speed and fees are the obvious starting point. Ethereum gas has gotten much better with Layer 2s, but on Solana the base layer itself is absurdly fast and cheap. If you want to make 50 trades in a day, interact with a dozen protocols, or just move tokens around without doing mental math on gas costs, Solana is where you want to be. Swapping ETH to SOL is the on ramp.
Memecoins are the second massive reason, and it's not even close. Solana became the memecoin capital of crypto because launching and trading tokens costs almost nothing, blocks confirm in under a second, and the culture moved there. New tokens appear constantly, and the only way to trade them is on Solana DEXs with SOL in your wallet. People swap ETH to SOL specifically for this, sometimes multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day.
DeFi on Solana has matured into something genuinely impressive. Lending, borrowing, yield farming, perpetual futures with full order books, and liquid staking protocols that let you earn yield while keeping your SOL liquid. The fees are so low that strategies which would be financially suicidal on Ethereum (like frequent rebalancing or small position farming) actually work on Solana. Converting some ETH into SOL opens the door to all of it.
NFTs never left Solana. The marketplaces are active, gaming projects use Solana NFTs for in game assets, and collections keep dropping. If you spot a mint you want, you need SOL. Ethereum can't help you there. A quick ETH to SOL swap and you're in, probably before the mint even sells out.
Portfolio diversification is the final piece. Ethereum and Solana have different architectures, different developer communities, different risk profiles, and different upside scenarios. Ethereum is the established giant with composability and institutional depth. Solana is the high speed contender with consumer app momentum and a developer community that ships at a pace that makes everyone else look slow. Holding both is a way of saying "I believe in both approaches" without placing a single bet.
0.005 ETH. At current prices that's a few dollars, enough to test the whole flow without putting anything meaningful at risk. Send the minimum, watch SOL arrive in your wallet, and then decide if you want to go bigger.
CoinVast waits for 12 confirmations on the Ethereum network, which typically takes about 3 minutes. After that, your SOL is sent and confirms in roughly 1 confirmation, which on Solana takes about 400 milliseconds. Total time from clicking swap to holding SOL is usually 5 to 10 minutes. The only waiting is on the Ethereum side, because Solana treats delays like a personal insult.
None. CoinVast is a non custodial swap service. You provide your SOL receiving address, send ETH to the deposit address, and the swap happens. No email, no selfie, no "please hold your government ID next to your face while smiling." Automated pre screening runs on transactions for compliance, but you never create an account or hand over personal data.
The rate is fixed. CoinVast quotes one rate, a flat 2% spread, and locks it the instant you create the swap, so you know exactly how much SOL you'll get before you send any ETH. It does not matter how the market moves while your deposit confirms: there is no floating option and no guessing game. The rate you see is the rate you get.
Yes. The reverse pair (SOL to ETH) works the same way. Minimum send is 0.05 SOL, and since Solana only needs 1 confirmation, your side is done before you can blink. Then CoinVast sends the ETH. Same no KYC, non custodial flow.
If you send below 0.005 ETH, the swap cannot be processed. In most cases the amount can be refunded, but Ethereum network fees for returning small amounts can eat into the refund. Save yourself the headache: always send at or above the minimum shown on the swap page.
Setting it up takes under a minute. The blockchain handles the rest.
Any wallet where you control the keys. Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor), Ethereum wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow), Solana wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack), mobile wallets, even multi sig setups. CoinVast doesn't care about the brand. ETH goes in from any wallet you control, SOL comes out to any Solana address you provide.
Architecture. Ethereum was designed with decentralization and security as the top priorities, which historically meant higher fees during busy periods. Solana was built from the ground up for throughput, using a mechanism called Proof of History that lets validators agree on time without the overhead of traditional consensus. The result is sub second finality, thousands of transactions per second, and fees measured in fractions of a cent. They're solving different problems at different price points, which is exactly why swapping between them is so popular.
