How Solear works
What happens when you place an order, what you pay, and what protects you if something goes wrong.
One wallet, two chains
Connect Phantom and you can already buy NEAR tokens. Your Phantom key doubles as an account on NEAR, which we call your Solear account. Tokens you buy on NEAR land there, and only a signature from your Phantom wallet can move them. If you already use a NEAR wallet such as Meteor or HOT, connect it too and trade NEAR tokens directly.
What happens when you buy
Say you buy a NEAR token with SOL. Solear splits the order into legs and runs each one on the venue with the best price for it.
- 1Get a quoteSolear prices every leg (Jupiter on Solana, NEAR Intents across chains, Rhea on NEAR) and shows the expected amount, the minimum you will receive, every fee and the time it should take.
- 2Sign the Solana legPhantom asks you to approve one transaction. Your SOL moves into NEAR Intents, which delivers its value to your Solear account on NEAR.
- 3Sign the NEAR legYou approve a second message. Solear routes the funds to the token’s pool on NEAR and buys the token. Solear pays the NEAR gas.
- 4Receive your tokensThe tokens arrive in your Solear account, usually within half a minute. Your Profile shows each step as it completes.
One token, one pool
Tokens launched on Solear live in a single pool on their home chain. Omni Bridge registers the same token on the other chain: when tokens cross, they are locked on one side and minted on the other, then burned and unlocked on the way back. The total supply never changes, and there is no second pool for prices to drift in. See One pool, one price.
If something goes wrong
Cross-chain orders take a few steps, and prices can move between them. Every order carries a minimum and a deadline, and every failure ends in an automatic refund or a balance you can claim. Read Refunds and recovery.
