The DAI → USDT SOL bridge runs at 1 DAI = 0.9999 USDT SOL. For 100 DAI you receive 99.99 USDT 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 $199.99.
Fees on Solana are paid in SOL: to move USDT further, keep a little SOL on the same address.

Crystal-Trade or a classic bridge: what is the difference
| Crystal-Trade | Classic bridge | |

| 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 |

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 USDT 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.
