🌉Solana ⇄ PulseChain Bridging
As Liberty Swap prepares to open direct bridging between Solana (SVM) and PulseChain (EVM), it is critical for all users to understand the inherent technical differences and risks involved.
Cross-Chain Complexity: Solana vs. EVM
Bridging from Solana to an EVM-compatible blockchain like PulseChain is not as straightforward as other EVM-to-EVM transfers. The Solana and EVM ecosystems are fundamentally different in how they manage cryptographic keys and wallet infrastructure.
⚠️ Key Incompatibility Warning
Solana and EVM chains use different cryptographic curves:
Solana: Uses
Ed25519EVM Chains (Ethereum, PulseChain, BNB, Arbitrum, Base, etc.): Use
secp256k1
These cryptographic schemes are not natively compatible. While it is technically possible to derive or convert keypairs across chains using advanced tools, this is strongly discouraged in production environments due to the following risks:
🔐 Security Vulnerabilities: Nonstandard keypair converters or smart wallet hacks may expose your keys or funds.
⚠️ Lack of Guarantees: These methods are often experimental, centralized, or unsupported by mainstream wallet providers.
❌ Incompatible Wallets: Common Solana wallets like Phantom and EVM wallets like MetaMask do not share infrastructure and cannot use the same private key safely.
Recommended Best Practices
To ensure the safe use of our Solana–PulseChain bridge, we advise all users to:
Maintain separate seed phrases and private keys for Solana and EVM-compatible blockchains.
Use a trusted multi-chain wallet such as:
Ledger (hardware wallet with native support for both key types)
Rabby Wallet or XDEFI Wallet (multi-chain software wallets with dedicated key management)
Double-check recipient addresses when bridging assets. While Liberty Swap's bridging system ensures safe and accurate execution, incorrect address input by users cannot be reversed.
Built-In Warnings for Safety
To mitigate the risk of misconfiguration:
Liberty Swap implements dynamic warning systems that alert users during the bridging process.
When operating on an EVM chain, users may be prompted to switch to a compatible PulseChain wallet.
However, for SVM ⇄ EVM transfers, error recovery is significantly more limited. Always verify that your wallet is compatible and correctly configured before initiating a transfer.
In short: Solana and EVM are fundamentally different ecosystems. Treat them as such. For maximum security, always use distinct keys, trusted wallets, and follow all prompts and warnings provided by Liberty Swap.
If you're unsure at any step, contact Liberty Swap's support before proceeding.
