Get Started

Everything you need to make your first move on RHEA Finance

To start using RHEA Finance you need two things: a wallet and some funds in it. This page walks you through both and explains how gas fees work.

1. Set up a wallet

RHEA Finance works with popular NEAR wallets such as Meteor Wallet, HOT Wallet, NEAR Mobile and Intear Wallet. See Setup Wallet for details and download links.

2. Fund your wallet

Choose the option that suits you best.

Deposit from another blockchain

Already have assets on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain or another network? Move them to your NEAR wallet without leaving the RHEA ecosystem:

• RHEA Cross-Chain Trade — swap tokens from other chains directly into your NEAR wallet in one step.

• RHEA Bridge — bridge assets to and from NEAR. See the Bridge guide.

Withdraw from a centralized exchange

Buy NEAR (or other tokens available on NEAR) on a centralized exchange and withdraw them to your NEAR wallet address.

When withdrawing, always select the NEAR network and double-check the recipient address. Sending funds over the wrong network may result in permanent loss.

Looking for the RHEA token? See Buy RHEA Token for the list of exchanges and DEX routes.

3. Gas fees

Like any blockchain, NEAR charges a small gas fee for every transaction. Fees on NEAR are very low, but you still need something to pay them with.

Pay gas in NEAR

By default, gas is paid in NEAR, so keep a small amount of NEAR in your wallet at all times. Besides gas, NEAR accounts also use small storage deposits: the first time you interact with a new token or contract, a small amount of NEAR is reserved to store your data on-chain.

Pay gas with other tokens (Paymaster)

Don't have NEAR? RHEA's Paymaster lets you pay gas fees with other tokens instead:

• xRHEA

• USDC

• USDT

Click Select Gas Token and choose the token you want to pay with in the Paymaster window. Your balance of each supported token is shown next to it.

4. Open RHEA Finance safely

Always access RHEA Finance through the official domains and bookmark them:

• app.rhea.finance — RHEA Finance app on NEAR

• x.rhea.finance — RHEA Cross-Chain

When you connect your wallet for the first time, you will be asked to confirm the connection. This is normal. RHEA will never ask for your seed phrase or private key. Read Staying Safe before you start.
