Step-by-Step Guide to Send wSOL from MetaMask

1. Check Your wSOL Balance in MetaMask

First, ensure that you have wSOL in your MetaMask wallet. Open MetaMask and navigate to the BSC network to view your wSOL balance.

• Bridges: Use a bridge like Portal Bridge or Allbridge to transfer wSOL from BSC to the Solana network.
• Exchanges: Transfer wSOL to a CEX that supports both BSC and Solana, such as Binance or Coinbase36.

3. Select Networks: Choose BSC as the source network and Solana as the destination network.
4. Select Token: Choose wSOL as the token to transfer.
5. Enter Amount: Specify the amount of wSOL you want to transfer.
6. Approve and Transfer: Approve the transaction in MetaMask and follow the prompts to complete the transfer.

After completing the transfer using either a bridge or an exchange, verify that the SOL has arrived in your destination wallet. If you used a bridge, you might need to connect your Solana wallet to the bridge interface to finalize the transfer.
