A new token bridging app called TokenBridge has recently been launched. Developed by Crowny, it uses Wormhole to connect Solana & Near Protocol. This bridge means that users can now move their assets between the Solana and Near protocols.
The newest bridge connecting @solana and NEAR Protocol is live 💚🌉💜

Wormhole is a communications bridge between Solana and other leading decentralized finance (DeFi) networks. Existing projects, platforms and communities can move tokenized assets seamlessly across blockchains and benefit from Solana’s high speed and low costs.
How does it help users?
The TokenBridge app improves interoperability between Solana and Near Protocol. It makes it easier for users to manage and move their assets across the two blockchains. You need to connect your Solana (Phantom) and Near wallet.
Users can take advantage of the unique features and services of both protocols. For example, they can leverage the speed and low cost of Solana and the developer-friendly ecosystem of Near Protocol. This is an important development as it improves the overall user experience by providing greater flexibility, cost-efficiency and access to a wider range of decentralized applications (dApps) and services across both blockchain networks.
