The Rainbow Bridge is built by Aurora/Near team as a bridging mechanism to transfer your assets back and forth between Ethereum & NEAR & Aurora. This blog describes how it works. The guide below will show you how to use it.
Go to http://rainbowbridge.app/ and connect your Metamask
Choose the route from Ethereum to Aurora. You can also choose to send to an address other than yours.
3. Choose your asset and the amount that you want to transfer then click Continue
4. Confirm the Transfer
5. Confirm again in your Metamask, once you confirmed, the transfer will start.
6. All you need to do now is sit back and relax until the transfer is completed. Transfers from Ethereum to Aurora take about 10 minutes.
7. Now when both sides are finalized, your transfer will be listed as Completed Transfers. And now you can enjoy using DeFi on one of the fastest and most decentralized blockchains.
The transfer process from Aurora to Ethereum should be the same as Ethereum to Aurora, the only difference is it takes roughly 16 hours and with a more expensive fee. However before transfering the app will calculate the estimated fees for you.
