A new cross-chain solution has enabled Cardano users to move ADA to the Solana blockchain. Wanchain, a blockchain interoperability company recently launched the bridge that facilitates this transfer.
New Cross-Chain Bridge for ADA Transfers
On February 13, Wanchain announced the launch of a new interoperability route, allowing ADA holders to transfer their tokens from the Cardano network to Solana. This feature is limited to one-way transfers, meaning ADA can move to Solana, but users cannot yet bridge assets in the opposite direction.
The company’s official statement described this as a significant step toward increased connectivity between the two ecosystems, emphasizing the removal of previous barriers that separated them.
Bridging Process and Transaction Fees
To transfer ADA assets to Solana, ADA holders need to use Wanchain’s bridging platform The process requires connecting a Cardano wallet, selecting Cardano as the source blockchain and ADA as the asset, and then designating Solana as the destination network. At the time of writing, the transaction fee for using the bridge is 2.29 ADA, equivalent to approximately $1.85.
Addressing Cardano-Solana Rivalry
Before unveiling the feature, Wanchain acknowledged the long-standing rivalry between the Cardano and Solana communities. In a social media post on February 11, the company humorously referenced the differences in perception between the two groups, pointing out that some Solana users dismiss Cardano due to its perceived lack of adoption, while certain Cardano supporters criticize Solana for being heavily focused on meme coins.
Despite these differences, Wanchain positioned the bridge as an opportunity to foster greater interoperability, allowing users to benefit from the unique features of both networks.

Future Developments: SOL to ADA Transfers
Although the current integration only supports ADA-to-Solana transfers, Wanchain has confirmed that a Solana-to-Cardano bridge is in progress. However, no official release date has been provided.
Additionally, the company has hinted at the launch of a new product update on February 19, describing it as a significant enhancement to one of its existing solutions. More details on this development are expected in the coming days.
The bridge enables seamless interaction between Cardano and Solana, allowing users to leverage Solana’s ecosystem for enhanced cross-chain transactions and DeFi capabilities. The growth of interoperability solutions like Wanchain’s bridge could play a crucial role in connecting different blockchain networks and reducing fragmentation in the industry. As adoption grows, it will be exciting to see how ADA and SOL benefit from increased accessibility and collaboration.
