Near Foundation Grant

My company Mu Methods recently received a grant of $50,000 from the Near Foundation to build an identity protocol for seed phrase recovery, private key generation, and dapp connectivity. The award was in nUSDC to my Near wallet, a form of USDC on the Near network. I immediately needed to utilize a portion of this award to pay USD invoices. I could not transfer the nUSDC directly to my Binance account to then transfer to my business bank account. What to do?

Rainbow Bridge

I used Rainbow Bridge. It could not connect to my Binance account directly, but does support Metamask.

I connected the Metamask account I was transferring to and the Near wallet I was transferring from in the upper right hand box. The transaction took 16 hours to complete. However, the entire process only cost ~$25 in total gas fees, or .125% on a $20,000 transaction. This includes the fees to transfer the USDC from my Metamask account to my Binance account.

Once the USDC reached Binance I swapped it for USD and transferred it to my business bank account.
