You're right to look for a direct paththe traditional exchange route adds unnecessary steps and costs. For exactly this, I use a direct swap service like the one Paybis offers. It's designed for clean cross-chain conversions. Here's how it works: you go to their swap page, enter the amount of ETH you want to convert, and then provide your personal Solana wallet address (like from Phantom or Solflare) as the destination. Their system handles the entire conversion in the background. You send your ETH from your wallet to their provided address, and they send the equivalent SOL directly to your Solana wallet. The main advantages are the single transaction flow (you only pay the Ethereum network gas fee once to send your ETH, not multiple times for different steps) and speed. It cuts out the need to create an exchange account, trade on an order book, and wait for withdrawal processing. Since Solana's network fees are minuscule, your funds are ready to use the moment they arrive. It's a much more efficient bridge between the two ecosystems. Here's the link to their specific ETH-to-SOL swap page: paybis.com/swap-eth-to-sol/. Just always triple-check that your receiving address is for the Solana network.
