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

	Crystal-Trade	Classic bridge
What you receive	Native SOL or standard Solana tokens	Depends on the bridge: on some networks it is a bridged version of the token
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 move coins from Ethereum to Solana

Choose a direction in the table above and enter the amount in the calculator on its page.
Paste your Solana address (base58, 32–44) to receive the coins.
Send the coins over the Ethereum network to the address from the order, exactly in the amount shown.
After the Ethereum confirmations, the coins are sent to your Solana address. The status is shown on the order page.

Before you bridge to Solana

The receiving address must be on the Solana network (base58, 32–44).
Send coins over Ethereum only — a transfer over another network will not reach the order.
Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
