Tutorial: How to bridge AR to wAR on AO?

<aside> 📢

$BENCAT will officially launch on Obtimus on December 17, 2024. Users can purchase it using the Bonding Curve.

BENCAT has no presale, no reserved, no VCs—100% fair launch with a total supply of 1 billion.
Once the total purchase amount in the bonding curve reaches 888 wAR, BENCAT will automatically be listed on Permaswap.
888 wAR will be added to the Permaswap liquidity pool and locked.
Given the size and passion of the community, to ensure more community members can purchase $BENCAT at a lower price, we will impose a limitation during the bonding curve. Each wallet can only purchase up to $BENCAT worth a maximum of 5 wAR. If you want to buy more, just wait until $BENCAT is on Permaswap and buy it there.
We're worried that the bonding curve might hit its target too fast. To make sure our early supporters can get $BENCAT, we've set up an airdrop. The designer, RUI, will purchase a certain amount of $BENCAT during the bonding curve. After $BENCAT is listed on Permaswap, RUI will 100% airdrop these tokens to Obtimus players (based on their Obtimus rewards) and early community OGs. RUI will disclose the wallet address and maintain full transparency. </aside>
