Bitget Wallet users can now swap native Solana assets cross-chain through Chainflip, with the integration powered by SwapKit. The route has already processed over $14.8 million in total swap volume across more than 1,670 swaps, with Solana on one side of nearly every transaction.
The most popular routes are SOL swaps to and from USDT, followed by BTC and ETH swaps to and from SOL. This represents real demand from self-custody users who want to move between major assets without relying on wrapped tokens or traditional bridges.
How the Integration Stack Works
The technical flow connects three layers. Bitget Wallet provides the user interface and wallet functionality. SwapKit handles cross-chain routing and aggregation. Chainflip executes the actual native asset settlement.
When a Bitget Wallet user initiates a cross-chain swap involving Solana, SwapKit identifies Chainflip as the optimal route for native settlement. The swap then executes through Chainflip's decentralized validator network, which holds assets in its own protocol-controlled vaults rather than relying on a centralized custodian.
This architecture means users never have to leave Bitget Wallet to access Chainflip's native swap infrastructure. The protocol appears as a route option when selecting supported asset pairs.
Why Native Swaps Matter for Self-Custody
Traditional cross-chain transfers typically involve wrapped tokens or bridge protocols that introduce additional trust assumptions and security risks.
Native swaps work differently. When you swap SOL for BTC through Chainflip, you receive actual Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network. No wrapped tokens, no IOUs, no additional smart contract risk beyond the swap itself.
For self-custody users, this distinction matters. You maintain full control of your assets before and after the swap, and the assets you receive are the real thing on their native chains. Chainflip's custody model uses a decentralized validator network to secure assets during the swap process, with no centralized custodian holding your funds.
Currently Available Routes
The Bitget Wallet integration currently supports Solana-side swaps through Chainflip. This means users can swap between SOL and other Chainflip-supported assets including BTC, ETH, and USDT.
Chainflip's full network supports assets across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot Assethub, Arbitrum, Tron, and soon BNB. The protocol is looking forward to enabling all of these routes for Bitget Wallet users beyond the current Solana functionality.
How to Swap in Bitget Wallet
The swap process happens inside Bitget Wallet's interface. When you select a cross-chain swap between Solana and another supported asset, Chainflip may appear as a routing option through SwapKit's aggregation.
The general flow involves selecting your source and destination assets, entering the amount, reviewing the quote, and confirming the transaction. Chainflip handles the settlement in the background. You can track your swap's progress on Chainflip Scan using your transaction details.
Since the swap executes through Chainflip's protocol, you receive native assets directly to your destination wallet address. For example, a SOL to BTC swap delivers real Bitcoin to your Bitcoin address.
Part of a Growing SwapKit Ecosystem
This Bitget Wallet integration follows a similar pattern to other SwapKit-powered implementations. Tangem hardware wallet users and Wormhole Portal also access Chainflip's native swap infrastructure through SwapKit's routing layer.
SwapKit functions as middleware that connects wallet interfaces to underlying swap protocols. For Chainflip, this means reaching users across multiple wallet ecosystems without requiring each integration to build direct protocol connections.
What Comes Next
Chainflip is working toward enabling its full route coverage for Bitget Wallet users. This would expand beyond the current Solana focus to include direct swaps involving Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Tron, and Polkadot Assethub assets.
No timeline has been announced, but the goal is to bring the complete Chainflip experience to Bitget Wallet's user base. As new routes become available, users will be able to access them through the same familiar wallet interface.
For users who want access to Chainflip's full route set today, the protocol is available directly at swap.chainflip.io or through other integrated wallets and aggregators.

What assets can I swap through Chainflip in Bitget Wallet?
Currently, Bitget Wallet supports Solana-side swaps through Chainflip. You can swap SOL to and from BTC, ETH, and USDT. The most popular routes are SOL/USDT and SOL/BTC pairs.
Do I receive wrapped tokens or native assets?
You receive native assets. When you swap SOL for BTC, you get real Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network, not a wrapped version. Chainflip settles assets natively on their home chains.
How is Chainflip different from a bridge?
Bridges typically lock assets on one chain and mint wrapped versions on another. Chainflip performs actual swaps between native assets using a decentralized validator network. There are no wrapped tokens or IOUs involved.
Will more routes be available in Bitget Wallet?
Chainflip is working toward enabling its full network coverage for Bitget Wallet users, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Tron, and Polkadot Assethub routes beyond the current Solana functionality. No specific timeline has been announced.
Where can I track my swap?
You can monitor your swap's progress on Chainflip Scan at scan.chainflip.io using your transaction details or wallet address.
