BeamerFams, Welcome everyone. In this article I will show to you step-by-step walkthrough guide on how to use Beamer Bridge without any confusions. This article is not a call to action (not a financial recommendation/advise), DYOR!
Beamer Bridge - is a free open source software development project by brainbot technologies AG. The project consists of a smart contract protocol, an online user interface, and agent software.
Beamer Bridge - is a new, unique, and ultra-fast solution for sending your funds across the different parts of the Galaxy (to the different chains). You can unite your assets on Arbitrum and Optimism chains together! And Beamer gonna help you with it! Innovative technology of our bridge provides maximum security to our users (Beamer is successfully audited by ChainSafe), eliminating the need for a liquidity pool, instead providing on-demand liquidity, making our protocol less attractive to attackers!
Beside this, Beamer Bridge raised $2.6 million in total funding from “Sharks” such as**: Alphemy Capital**, Parallel Ventures, Atka, Zee Prime Capital, Kindi Capital, Angel investor, and coinIX.
Before we start using the Beamer Bridge, we need to make sure that we have installed Metamask wallet extension (Beamer Bridge currently supports WalletConnect and Metamask). In this Guide i will use Metamask wallet extension.
So if you have already installed Metamask, you can skip these instructions down below.
To instal Metamask wallet extension, you need to click here. Once you downloaded Metamask, we can create new wallet account with creating “Difficult” password and rewriting 12 words seed phrase. Here we go.
We also need to add Optimism network into our Metamask to interact with Beamer Bridge. Follow instructions down below 👇 👇 👇
>In the networks tab of your MetaMask widget, select “Add Network” by clicking on it.
>Input the following settings into the Add a Network page, then select “Save”.
Network Name: Optimism
New RPC URL: https://mainnet.optimism.io
Chain ID: 10
Currency Symbol: ETH
Block Explorer URL: https://optimistic.etherscan.io
You have successfully added the Optimism Network to your settings.
>Now we gonna move to Beamer Bridge’s dApp by clicking “HERE”, scroll a little bit down and once the “Connect Wallet”’s button appears on the screen, please click on it.
>Right after that, you will see popping window with the supported wallets. Choose the wallet you gonna use and click on it to connect (I will use Metamask).
>Once you connected your Metamask, you will be able to green light (means, that you are currently connected).
>Then we gonna choose the Chain by clicking on “Target Rollup”, from where we gonna bridge our assets (i picked Optimism chain).
>Then we have to choose the asset we want to send by clicking on “Token” (Beamer Bridge currently supports only USDC), and input amount of tokens your are planning to transfer.
>Then we gonna choose the chain we to receive our funds. You gonna click on “Source Rollup”, and choose the right Chain (i picked Arbitrum).
>You will complete your Bridge, once you click on “Transfer Funds” ‘s button and confirm you transaction via Metamask. Right after that, you can detect 5-8 seconds (that was mine approximate transaction time), and go and check your arrived USDC.
Notice: Beamer Bridge supports only USDC at the time of writing this article, Team’s planning to add more tokens in a recent future.
>You can check all your transactions, that you proceeded by clicking on “Activity” widget.
Congratulations, my BeamerFams with your first transaction on Beamer Bridge.
