How to Bridge Your $DBIO and $USDT to the DeBio Network Appchain

$DBIO is a native token on the NEAR Protocol but compatible with a Substrate-based chain thanks to the Octopus Network bridge. This also applicable for $USDT.e (a token representing USDT on NEAR Protocol that was bridged from the Ethereum blockchain via the Rainbow Bridge). inside The Octopus Network bridge transfers value from a native NEAR Protocol token into their Appchains. Every Octopus Network Appchain is a Substrate-based chain because Octopus Network is built on top of Substrate for interoperability purposes.
Bridge Your Funds From ETH to DBIO/USDT
If you want to bridge your funds from Ethereum to DeBio Network, you must follow a few steps.
TL;DR You can follow the steps outlined in the image above. For a more detailed explanation, you can read the steps below.
1.​Create a Polkadot Address​
2.​Bridge from ETH to NEAR​
3.​Exchanging $NEAR with $DBIO​
4.Exchanging $NEAR with $USDT.e
5.​Bridge From NEAR to the Appchain​
6.​View the Funds via Octopus Bridge​
7.​View the Funds via Appchain​
Create a Polkadot Address
First, download the Polkadot.js extension and create a Substrate account.
Bridge From ETH to NEAR
$DBIO is a native NEAR Protocol token. Using NEAR’s Rainbow Bridge, you need to bridge your Ethereum assets to the NEAR Protocol. The Rainbow Bridge is a native ETH ↔ NEAR Bridge built by NEAR Protocol.
​Rainbow Bridge doesn’t physically transfer tokens between networks and instead utilizes a smart contract to lock tokens on the Ethereum ecosystem and mint them on NEAR.
The NEAR Protocol already provides resources for you to use the Rainbow Bridge:
You can check out an in-depth video walk-through on how to bridge your funds from Ethereum to NEAR here.
You can learn more about how Rainbow Bridge works here.
Exchanging $NEAR with $DBIO/ $USDT.e
After you have bridged your funds to NEAR from Ethereum, you can use Ref Finance to exchange it with $DBIO tokens provided by the liquidity pools.
In the top right of the Ref Finance dashboard, click on the “Connect to Near” button.
exchange $NEAR with $DBIO
exchange $NEAR with $USDT.e
Go to the Swap page by:
1.Clicking the “Swap” button on the navbar.
2.Choose $NEAR as your first token.
3.Choose $DBIO or $USDT.e as your second token.
4.Set the amount of $NEAR you want to bridge
5.Click Swap.
Bridge From NEAR to the Appchain
To use your tokens within the DeBio Network Appchain, you need to bridge using the Octopus Network bridge.
You need to:
1.Put the amount of $DBIO / $USDT.e you want to bridge.
2.Set your target address.
3.Click the “Transfer” button.
