A few options I've used or tested:
- deBridge - fast, usually good rates for ETH to SOL cross-chain. Uses intent-based architecture so you're not trusting a traditional bridge liquidity pool.
- Across Protocol - solid for ETH mainnet to L2s, but also supports some cross-chain routes. Check if ETH to Solana is live.
- Jupiter + Wormhole - Jupiter aggregates bridge routes on the Solana side. You can start from their UI and it'll find the best path.
- Mayan Finance - specifically built for cross-chain swaps involving Solana. Worth checking rates.
General tips: always do a small test tx first, compare rates across at least 2-3 options (slippage varies a lot by amount), and double-check you're on the real site (bookmark it). Bridge phishing sites are everywhere.

Both have cults creating echo chambers that keep them alive. That's not necessarily a bad thing. If enough people believe something, they will it into existence.
Doesn't matter how useless or useful something is.
Take gold for example. An entire history of usage which ultimately comes down to humans looking at it and going wow this metal is yellow and shiny. It sounds silly but it should not be underestimated. Gold is one of the few metals that doesn't turn to shit like silver or copper or bronze. Now there's 20 million narratives that orbit it. Doesn't matter if they're right or wrong. It's people's conviction in them.
Humanity's entire perception of value is from believing narratives.
That's why fiat is used. That's why people reject fiat from countries they don't know. That's why first movers like BTC and ETH persist.
At the end of the day you're only in this world for a small amount of time. So make the most of it by riding the wave of whatever narrative benefits you in the real world and improves your quality of life.

I use rETH (Rocketpool ETH) via [swap.cow.fi](http://swap.cow.fi), this is the most decentralized liquid staking coin.

Not just ETH but any token on many different chains to any token Solana and the other way around

Best way to move ETH to Solana without a CEX?

For me it’s all about keeping it simple and trustworthy. I use NEXO to buy ETH because it’s easy to navigate, I can handle everything in one place, and the fees feel reasonable compared to some exchanges I’ve tried. I usually just buy, leave it there, and focus on the long term hold, no stress about always moving funds or juggling multiple apps. It’s made getting started with ETH a lot less overwhelming.

Yes, that's where the tension feels real. When ETH leans into “money” narratives and BTC experiments more on-chain, the clean separation gets messy. Do you think they’re converging by design, or just reacting to each other?

Where should I stake my ETH ?

As someone who used to mine ETH and held it for 4 years before finally selling at the tippy top ($4900), I would stay away. It’s been such a disappointment compared to Bitcoin since PoW ended.

Not really, I can't remember a single time in five years where ETH was chilling at a price and then went up.
Usually it just suddenly freefalls 20%.

Welcome back to the Uniswap Weekly News Report, we’ll be going over some of the biggest crypto stories that occurred this past week.
# Strategy With Another BTC Purchase
Strategy bought up 2,486 BTC last week, valued at around $168.4M, with an average purchase price of $67,710. This brings Strategy’s total BTC holdings to over 717,131 BTC, which is currently worth $48B. The company now holds close to 3.41% of the total BTC supply.
# BitMine Continues Stacking up ETH
Bitmine is back at it, purchasing 45,749 ETH, which is currently priced at $88.7M. They are one of the largest ETH holders, accumulating 3.62% of the total ETH supply, bringing them 0.04% closer to their goal of owning 5% of the total ETH supply. BitMine has also become one of leading ETH stakers, currently staking 3.04M ETH.
# Base Leaves the Superchain Ecoystem
Coinbase's Layer 2 network Base announced on February 18th that it will transition away from Optimism's OP Stack to build its own independent technology infrastructure. Base originally launched in 2023 as a flagship member of the Optimism Superchain, contributing sequencer revenue back to the Optimism Collective. The move signals Coinbase's desire for greater technical autonomy as Base scales toward mainstream adoption.
While Base says it will maintain compatibility during the transition, the shift represents a blow to the Superchain narrative—the idea that multiple L2s sharing the OP Stack would create network effects and interoperability benefits. For Optimism, losing its highest-profile chain partner raises questions about the long-term value proposition of the Superchain model.
# Uniswap Governance Considers Activating Fee Switch for V3 Pools and additional chains
Uniswap governance is considering a proposal to activate protocol fees across all V3 pools and expand fee collection to eight additional chains. The move would build on last year's UNIfication proposal from Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation, which first turned on the protocol fee switch to align incentives across the ecosystem. If passed, this expansion would significantly increase the protocol's revenue streams while positioning Uniswap to capture value from its growing multichain presence.
The proposal reflects Uniswap's broader strategy to transition UNI from a pure governance token to one with real value accrual. Protocol fees are taken as a portion of swap fees—for example, 0.05% on V2 pools and tiered rates on V3—and routed through fee adapter contracts into a central collector on each network. Expanding this infrastructure to more chains would deepen Uniswap's footprint as the default decentralized exchange for tokenized assets across the ecosystem.

If it's at your price 5 years ago right now is the time you add more. Btc and ETH is fine.
Your high risk trading any of the alt 💩

With Rocket Pool the validator's key creation, withdrawing, and staking rewards delegation is all handled by the smart contract running on Ethereum.
The node operator only has access to their % of the reward. This is done by registering their wallet with the smart contract using their own private key.
If they lose their private key, the staked ETH can still be unstaked by the node operator and sent back to the smart contract. But the operator who lost their key won't be able to claim their staked ETH or % of the rewards.
It only affects them. No different than if someone staked 0.1 ETH into RP who wasn't running the validator but then lost their wallet's key.
Staking ETH isn't autonomous work. It's doing lots of computation and data storage to build blocks using a dedicated PC. $$$. If the validator operator isn't earning rewards then they have no incentive to maintain their machine forever.
Since RP is permissionless, if the node operator had access to all the staked ETH they'd likely just run off with it to collect 20-30 years of staking rewards at once rather than behave honestly. Or competing protocols may be incentivized to intentionally lose/burn user's staked ETH to harm trust in the protocol. It wouldn't be trustless in that case.
Lido probably operates similarly.

How do you determine the optimal backtest window for ETH? Dealing with regime shifts since 2017.

Didn't got you by cleanest methods ? anyways there are few good bridges, where you can go from ETH to SOL easily under few seconds with least cost in trustless decentralize way.
Atomic bridges are the best, where either your swap will go through or you will get your funds back there is no 3rd option, best part you will always be in control of your funds.

Ethereum's 12-second block time is fine for DeFi degens swapping tokens, but for quant strategies it's a death sentence—prices can gap 5% between blocks and your algo can't respond. Solana is "fast" except when the network shits itself for 17 hours like it did in 2022, and suddenly your fund is bleeding while validators reboot. 1024Chain is purpose-built for financial workloads. Optimized BFT consensus, 1-second blocks with instant finality, no waiting for confirmations. Your strategies execute deterministically—no chain reorgs, no surprise slippage from orphaned blocks. The performance gap is embarrassing for everyone else. Ethereum mainnet: 15 TPS. L2s hit thousands but with data availability risks. Solana claims 65k TPS but chokes to hundreds under real load. 1024Chain: 10k+ TPS measured, scales linearly with validators, designed specifically for high-frequency trading. Stability is where it gets spicy. ETH and SOL both had network congestion from NFT mints or market volatility—gas spikes, failed transactions, good luck getting a tx through. 1024Chain uses resource isolation, dedicating bandwidth for financial transactions. Even if some viral game or social app hogs the network, your trades execute unaffected. For institutional capital, this is the difference between "deployable" and "toy." When your strategy depends on millisecond-level execution certainty, only 1024Chain delivers. The others are either too slow or too fragile—pick your poison, or just use infrastructure that actually works.

wrapping ETH is just a deposit call to the wETH contract, you can do it on uniswap interface or directly at 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 on etherscan. its 1:1 so theres no slippage or swap involved, just a direct wrap/unwrap
