The DAI → USDC SOL bridge runs at 1 DAI = 1 USDC SOL. For 100 DAI you receive 100 USDC SOL; the amount is calculated by this rate, and you only pay the Ethereum fee for your own transfer. You can bridge from 200 DAI. That is about $199.98.
Fees on Solana are paid in SOL: to move USDC further, keep a little SOL on the same address.
Ethereum vs Solana: network comparison
| Ethereum | Solana | |

Crystal-Trade or a classic bridge: what is the difference
| Crystal-Trade | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | USDC on Solana | The same stablecoin; switching between USDT and USDC needs a separate swap |
| Wallet connection and approvals | Not needed: you send coins to the order address | Needed: you connect a wallet and sign contract transactions |
| Coins for fees on Solana | Not needed to receive | Often needed to claim funds or move them after the bridge |
| Time | After the Ethereum confirmations; the status is shown on the order page | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds during the transfer | Crystal-Trade, for the duration of the order (with an AML check) | The bridge smart contract or its validators |

How to bridge DAI from Ethereum to Solana
- Enter the DAI amount in the calculator (from 200 DAI) and open the exchange form.
- Paste your Solana address (base58, 32–44) to receive USDC SOL.
- Send DAI over the Ethereum network to the address from the order, exactly in the amount shown.
- After the Ethereum confirmations, USDC SOL is sent to your Solana address. The status is shown on the order page.
Before you bridge DAI to Solana
- The receiving address must be on the Solana network (base58, 32–44).
- Send DAI over Ethereum only — a transfer over another network will not reach the order.
- The amount sent must be at least 200 DAI.
- To move USDC on Solana later, you will need a little SOL on the same address.
- Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
