How to Bridge from Celo to NEAR: Allbridge User Guide
Before starting to transfer assets using Allbridge between Celo and the NEAR Ecosystem, there is something that you should prepare first:
- A Celo Wallet, and some $Celo to pay the gas fee
Wallet options: Metamask - A NEAR Wallet, with some $NEAR to pay the gas fee. If you don’t have a NEAR Wallet yet, create one using this instruction.
All set? Let’s start!
Step 1: Choose network and asset
You will initially start from https://app.allbridge.io/bridge. Select the networks you want to use with the bridge. In this case, the route is from Celo to the NEAR network.
After that, please carefully choose the asset you are looking to transfer before clicking on the “Connect Wallet” button.
Step 2: Connect to Your Celo Wallet
Allbridge will ask you to connect your Celo Wallet to approve the action above.
Step 3: Enter the recipient address and amount to transfer
Here, you will be required to enter the recipient address and the amount you want to transfer.
Finally, after checking all the information above, click “Send”.
*On NEAR, xxx.near is the default. Input your xxx.near address as the recipient.
The wallet then will prompt you to approve the transaction, for which you will need $CELO to pay the gas fee.
Wait a minute for the transaction to be executed.
Step 4: Connect to Your NEAR Wallet
Once the transaction comes up as successful, you can connect to your NEAR Wallet to receive the transferred assets.
Click “Connect Wallet” and choose “NEAR”
Step 5: Receive assets
After connecting to your NEAR Account, select “Receive” to trigger the transaction and receive the assets in your NEAR Wallet.
To approve the transaction, you will need $NEAR for the gas fee.
Done! Go to your NEAR Wallet (wallet.near.org) and double-check the existence of your transferred assets
