The short answer
To bridge Solana to Robinhood Chain on NAVI, open any market page, switch the swap panel from Swap to Cross-chain, choose SOL or USDC on Solana and ETH or USDG on Robinhood Chain, check the quote and sign with your own wallet. The transfer runs through Relay, an intents-based bridge that Robinhood's own docs list as a seconds-speed route. NAVI is non-custodial, so your funds never sit in a NAVI account.
The rest of this guide covers what you need first, how to read the quote, what lands in your wallet and how to come back.
What you need before you bridge
Three things:
- A Solana wallet holding SOL or USDC. That is what you send.
- An EVM wallet for Robinhood Chain. That is where ETH or USDG arrives. Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum layer 2, so it uses Ethereum-style 0x addresses, not Solana addresses.
- A little SOL left over for Solana network fees on the sending side.
Phantom can hold both a Solana account and an EVM account, so one wallet covers both ends. Our guide to adding Robinhood Chain to Phantom shows how to switch it on. MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet and WalletConnect mobile wallets also connect to NAVI for the Robinhood Chain side.
If you add the network by hand, the values from Robinhood's network docs are: network name Robinhood Chain, chain ID 4663, RPC https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com/, currency symbol ETH, block explorer robinhoodchain.blockscout.com.
How to bridge to Robinhood Chain from Solana, step by step
- Step 1: open a market page. Every NAVI market page has the swap panel. The SOL market page is the obvious start if you are sending SOL. The Robinhood Chain bridge page has the same panel on its own.
- Step 2: pick the Cross-chain tab. It sits next to Swap at the top of the swap panel.
- Step 3: connect both wallets. The Solana wallet signs the transfer. The EVM address is where funds land.
- Step 4: choose what you send and what you get. Send SOL or USDC. Receive ETH or USDG on Robinhood Chain. On a Robinhood Chain token page, that token is also offered as the output.
- Step 5: enter the amount and read the quote. More on that below.
- Step 6: sign. Your Solana wallet asks for approval. Nothing moves until you approve it.
- Step 7: check the arrival. Look up your 0x address on Robinhood Chain's Blockscout explorer or in your wallet.
Default slippage is 1%. You can set it anywhere from 0.1% to 5%. A tighter setting protects the minimum you receive but makes a failed transfer more likely when prices move.
Reading the quote: fees, gas and minimum received
The quote shows every cost before you sign. It has four parts:
- NAVI fee: 0.25% of the amount, or 0.20% on NAVI Pro when the source wallet is linked to your Pro account.
- Relay costs: according to Relay's fee docs, these are an execution cost (a $0.02 flat fee plus an estimate of destination gas), any swap cost (DEX fees, price impact, solver rebalancing) and a platform fee, which Relay lists as 0.00% for plain token bridging.
- Network gas on both chains.
- Minimum received: the least you will get after slippage. If the transfer cannot meet it, it does not complete.
Two test quotes NAVI ran on 30 September 2026, as examples only. Prices move, so your numbers will differ:
- 0.1 SOL to ETH: NAVI fee 0.00025 SOL, relayer fee about 0.0005 SOL, output about 0.00439 ETH.
- 20 USDC to USDG: NAVI fee 0.05 USDC.
On small amounts the fixed parts weigh more. On the 0.1 SOL example the relayer fee was about twice NAVI's percentage fee, so check the total before you send a very small amount.
What arrives on Robinhood Chain, and why you need some ETH
You receive ETH or USDG. Pick based on what you plan to do next.
ETH is Robinhood Chain's gas token, per Robinhood's gas docs. Every transaction on the chain, including a swap into a memecoin, is paid in ETH. USDG (Global Dollar, issued by Paxos) is the main stablecoin on the chain. There is no Circle-native USDC there, and the canonically bridged USDC is thin, which is why USDC from Solana arrives as USDG.
If you bridge into USDG only, you still need a small amount of ETH for gas. Gas is cheap: NAVI measured a sample of 13 swaps on 30 September 2026 at a median cost of about 0.0000039 ETH, roughly one US cent, with a range of about $0.007 to about $0.06. A few dollars of ETH covers a lot of trades. A 90-day gas subsidy for Robinhood Wallet users reportedly ended around 29 September, and third-party wallets always paid gas, so plan to hold ETH.
You can also bridge straight into the token of the Robinhood Chain page you are on. When that token is a memecoin, the bridge runs the same honeypot gate as a normal swap before it lets the trade through.
Bridging back from Robinhood Chain to Solana
The route works in both directions. Open the Cross-chain tab again, set Robinhood Chain as the source, choose ETH or USDG, and pick SOL or USDC on Solana as the output. This time your EVM wallet signs, so it needs a little ETH for gas. The same fee, slippage and minimum-received rules apply.
For comparison, the Arbitrum canonical bridge from Robinhood Chain back to Ethereum has a withdrawal period of about seven days, according to Robinhood's bridging docs. Intents-based routes like Relay are listed at seconds. Our Robinhood Chain bridge comparison covers every route in detail.
Failed transfers, refunds and region limits
If a transfer fails, the refund goes back to the sending wallet, not to the destination address. Check the source wallet first if nothing arrives.
Common reasons a transfer does not go through:
- The price moved beyond your slippage, so the minimum received could not be met.
- The sending wallet did not hold enough SOL for Solana fees, or enough ETH for gas when bridging back.
- You rejected the signature or let it time out.
Trading on NAVI is not available in every region. NAVI blocks trading from sanctioned jurisdictions and some others, and region-blocked viewers do not see the bridge at all. Do not try to get around a regional block. NAVI is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Robinhood.
Check a token before you buy
Most people bridge to buy something. On Robinhood Chain that often means a fresh memecoin, and copycat tickers, honeypots and bundled launches were widely reported in the chain's first weeks.
Before you swap, paste the contract into NAVI's Robinhood Chain token scanner. It runs a buy-and-sell simulation, checks owner privileges, upgradeable proxies, liquidity locks, holder concentration and Pons bonding status, then returns Low, Medium or High risk. It never labels a token safe. Browse trending and new tokens on the Robinhood Chain hub, and read how to buy memecoins on Robinhood Chain for the full buying flow.
