Bridge Vara ↔ Ethereum Easily

EitherWay – the officially supported bridge interface designed for asset transfers between Vara and Ethereum. It currently supports transfers for the following assets:

VARA (Vara Native) ↔ wVARA (on Ethereum)
ETH (Ethereum Native) ↔ wETH (on Vara)
USDT (on Ethereum) ↔ wUSDT (on Vara)
USDC (on Ethereum) ↔ wUSDC (on Vara)

Quick Guide: Bridging Assets via EitherWay

Wallet Requirements

From Vara → Ethereum Connect your Vara wallet by selecting one of the supported wallets.

From Ethereum → Vara Connect your Ethereum-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet etc)

Step 1: Select Asset & Amount

Pick the asset you want to transfer (VARA, USDC, USDT or ETH).
Specify the exact amount you want to bridge.

Step 2: Enter Destination Address

Provide the receiving wallet address on the target network.

Step 3: Confirm and Initiate Swap

If your wallet is not already connected, click Connect Wallet
Click Transfer to start the process
Review the transaction details
Approve and sign the transaction

Step 4: Track Your Transaction

The Transactions tab lets you check the status of current and past transfers without leaving the interface.

Transfers usually complete within ~30 minutes.

Step 5: Claim Native VARA (if bridging from Ethereum)

If you bridged wVARA from Ethereum back to Vara, the tokens will first arrive in your account as VFT tokens managed by the bridge.

To convert them into native VARA, you’ll need to unlock them manually:

Go to the “My Tokens” tab
Make sure your Substrate wallet is connected
Click Unlock next to your VFT token balance

Who Pays the Transfer Fees?

The gas token required always depends on the source network:

Vara → Ethereum: You only need VARA tokens. (No ETH is required for the initial transfer.)
Ethereum → Vara: You need ETH, regardless of the asset you are bridging (VARA, ETH, or stablecoins).

Tip: Always keep a small amount of the native gas token in your source wallet to avoid transaction failures.
