To use the Wormhole bridge, visit the link. As you can see from the below screenshot, the bridge currently allows users to connect with the below networks:
Click on “Transfer Tokens” appearing on the top corner of the page.
The Wormhole bridge allows users to set the transaction-related details in different phases. Let discuss it in detail.
In the “Source” section, users are required to select the source network where they wish to initiate the transaction.
In this case, we are selecting the Ethereum network. Next, it will ask you to connect with the supporting wallet. For Ethereum, you can connect with Metamask. You can see your connected wallet address here (see screenshot below).
Next, the user is required to select the token and the amount that he wishes to transfer. The platform supports ETH, BNT, GRT, SAND, SNX, FTM, DAI, and many more. Note that users should hold a sufficient ETH in their connected Metamask wallet to cover the gas fee. Otherwise, it will show a warning message.
In the Target section, you must select the destination network and enter the receiving wallet address. You can choose any of the networks mentioned above. In this case, we have chosen Solana as our destination network.
For Solana, the bridge provides support to quite a few wallets like Solflare, Phantom, Math Wallet, and Sollet. In this case, we will connect with Solflare, which is a web extension wallet installed in our browser, to receive our funds.
Select your preferred wallet and click on Connect. This will trigger a transaction in your Solflare wallet for establishing the connection.
In the given destination wallet address, the user must hold sufficient SOL tokens to pay the network fees.

The warning message will go off now. You can also check your details here before initiating the transfer.
If you are satisfied with the transaction details, you can confirm it by hitting the Transfer button.
Confirm the transaction via your wallet. This will initiate a transfer from the Ethereum network. Wait for the transaction to complete.
Then, you have to redeem it to transfer the tokens from the wormhole bridge to the destination wallet address in Solana.
Click on the Redeem button. The application may ask you to approve a few transactions, more than 1, in your Solflare wallet.
As a result, once done, you can see the wrapped Ethereum (WETH) token balance in your Solflare wallet.
