Solana is becoming truly cross-chain - and now it happens directly inside your wallet. Today, Gem Wallet adds native Solana swaps via THORChain - no bridges, no wrapped tokens, and no intermediaries.

Gem Wallet Announces Solana Swaps via THORChain

We are not just improving the user experience - we are expanding what is possible inside a wallet. Today we add Solana swaps via THORChain: Gem Wallet now connects the fastest blockchain with permissionless cross-chain liquidity. You can exchange native SOL to BTC, ETH, and assets from other blockchains directly in the wallet, without exchanges or bridges.

What Is THORChain?

THORChain is a decentralized protocol designed specifically for native cross-chain swaps. Unlike most bridges, it does not wrap tokens or lock your assets on its side. The protocol uses its own liquidity pool architecture and the RUNE token to securely execute cross-chain trades.

Key Benefits for Gem Wallet Users

  • Full Self-Custody Control: Gem Wallet remains a self-custody wallet - your keys belong only to you, and you stay in full control of your crypto assets at every stage of the swap. The wallet cannot freeze, block, or restrict your exchange.

  • No Registration Required: Gem Wallet is a private wallet that does not collect personal data. You do not need to complete identity verification like on exchanges just to swap Solana to Bitcoin.

  • Native Cross-Chain Swaps: Thanks to the partnership between Gem Wallet and THORChain, you can swap SOL directly to BTC, ETH, TRX, and other assets - no wBTC, no wETH, and no wrapped tokens.

  • Deep Decentralized Liquidity: Gem Wallet provides access to deep decentralized liquidity and supports high-volume swaps, allowing large transactions to be processed efficiently directly inside the app.

  • All in One Interface: No external websites and no extra steps. Gem Wallet provides a fast and intuitive interface where all swaps happen natively inside the app, without delays or unnecessary complexity.
