# Bridge

Move assets between NEAR and other blockchains

[RHEA Bridge](https://app.rhea.finance/bridge) lets you move tokens between NEAR and other networks. It compares available bridge routers and shows you the best route for your transfer.

## How to bridge

### Step 1: Choose tokens and networks

Open [app.rhea.finance/bridge](https://app.rhea.finance/bridge). In the **From** field, select the token and network you are sending from (for example, USDT on Solana). In the **To** field, select the token and network you want to receive (for example, NEAR on NEAR). Use the arrow button between the fields to switch the direction.

### Step 2: Connect your wallets

Click **Connect** in both the **From** and **To** fields to connect the wallet for each network. Once connected, your balances are shown under each field.

Optional settings:

* **I'm transferring to a destination address** — tick this box if you want to receive the tokens on a different address than the connected wallet.
* **Enable Refuel** — get some NEAR along with your transfer to pay for transactions on NEAR.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Do not bridge directly to a centralized exchange (CEX) deposit address.** Some exchanges do not credit deposits that arrive through bridge transactions, so your funds may not appear in your exchange account. Bridge to your own wallet first, then send the tokens to the exchange.
{% endhint %}

### Step 3: Enter the amount and choose a route

Enter the amount you want to bridge. The bridge shows the estimated amount you will receive and the available routers under **Select Bridge Router**, with the best route marked (for example, **Optimal Path** and **Fastest**) and the estimated time. Click **Preview**.

### Step 4: Review and confirm

Check the preview: the amount you send and receive, the sending and receiving addresses, the **Minimum Received** and the estimated time. Click **Transfer** and sign the transaction in your wallet.

### Step 5: Track your transfer

The **Transaction Detail** window shows the progress of your transfer and the estimated bridging time. Use **SRC TX** to open the source transaction in the explorer.

Once the transfer is done, you will see **Bridge Completed**. Use **DEST TX** to open the destination transaction, or **+ New Transfer** to start another one.

## Transaction history

Open the **History** tab to see all your bridge transfers: time, direction, amounts, sending and receiving addresses with transaction links, and status. You can also search for a transfer by its transaction hash.
