How to Bridge from Solana to Hyperliquid

Can I Bridge from Solana to Hyperliquid?

Yes, assets can be bridged from Solana to Hyperliquid using a compatible cross-chain bridge. 

To do this, ensure you have a Solana wallet like Phantom and an Ethereum wallet, such as MetaMask, for Hyperliquid's HyperEVM. Once transferred, your assets can be used within Hyperliquid’s ecosystem for perpetual futures and spot trading.

How to Bridge from Solana to Hyperliquid

To bridge assets from Solana to Hyperliquid, use deBridge, the only solution supporting this route. deBridge has facilitated over $6.3 billion in transfers and supports interoperability across 15 networks, including Solana, Hyperliquid, Base and Ethereum.

Here are the steps to bridge to Hyperliquid from Solana using deBridge:

1. Connect Your Wallets: Visit deBridge, then connect your Solana wallet (e.g. Phantom) and an Ethereum wallet (e.g. MetaMask) for Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM.
2. Select Networks and USDC: Choose Solana as the source network and Hyperliquid as the destination. Select USDC as the token you want to transfer.
3. Approve the Transfer: Enter the amount, confirm the transaction in your wallet, and approve the transfer through deBridge.
4. Complete the Transfer: Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize. Your assets will appear on Hyperliquid in under 1 minute.

What are the Fees?

Bridging assets from Solana to Hyperliquid via deBridge incurs two main costs:

1. Bridge Fee: deBridge applies a flat fee of 0.001 ETH per transaction.
2. Gas Fees: Solana’s high-throughput network ensures gas fees remain low, and under $0.01 per transfer. This applies equally when moving assets from Hyperliquid to Solana.

These low costs make deBridgea a capital-efficient solution for moving assets between Solana and Hyperliquid.

Alternative Solana to Hyperliquid Bridge

At present, deBridge provides the only direct route for transferring assets from Solana to Hyperliquid.

An alternative involves first bridging assets from Solana to Arbitrum using platforms such as Rhino.fi. Once on Arbitrum, the Hyperliquid native bridge facilitates secure and direct transfers to Hyperliquid.

This method is viable but introduces additional bridging fees for the Solana-to-Arbitrum step, potentially increasing transaction costs compared to a direct transfer.

Bottom Line

Bridging from Solana to Hyperliquid is best accomplished through deBridge, which offers the only direct interoperability between the two networks.

Its straightforward user interface, low fees, and fast transaction times make it the most efficient method for moving USDC into Hyperliquid’s ecosystem.
