Depositing to KAST is quick and secure - but accuracy matters. In this article, you’ll learn how to prepare before sending funds, choose the correct deposit details, and avoid the most common deposit mistakes.

 

What Types of Deposits Does KAST Support?

KAST supports multiple deposit options depending on your region and verification level. Each method ensures secure and compliant funding for your account.

Deposit Method Supported Assets Reach Notes
Stablecoin Deposit USDC, USDT Global Send directly to your KAST wallet address.
Crypto Deposit SOL, BTC, ETH, XRP, and other cryptocurrencies Global Automatically converted to stablecoins at the effective exchange rate.
Bank Transfer USD and ARS Selected regions Must come from a supported bank account.

What Should I Check Before Making A Deposit?

Before confirming your transfer, make sure you’ve:

  • Verified your KYC status
  • Selected the right asset
  • Copied the correct deposit address
  • Selected the right blockchain network
  • Added any required memo or tag
  • Met the minimum deposit amount

 

How Do I Choose the Right Deposit Address and Network?

Each asset has its own deposit address and supported blockchain network (like SOL, TRC20, ERC20, or BEP20).

Sending to the wrong address or network may result in permanent loss of funds.

Asset Type Example Network Special Notes
USDC /USDT Solana / TRC20 / ERC20 Must match the exact network displayed in the app
SOL Solana Network Confirm address length carefully
XRP XRP Ledger Requires a memo field
BTC Bitcoin Mainnet No tag or memo needed

Do I Need to Add a Tag or Memo?

Some assets, like XRP, require a destination tag or memo for the deposit to be credited. If missing, your funds may be delayed or require manual review. Check your app’s deposit screen - if a tag or memo appears, include it exactly as shown.

 

How Long Do Deposits Take?

Deposit times depend on the asset and network activity:

  • Stablecoin deposits: Usually confirmed within minutes.
  • Liquidation deposits: Processed after network confirmation and conversion, typically within minutes.
  • Bank transfers: May take 1-3 business days to appear.

Network congestion or compliance reviews can sometimes cause slight delays.

 

Where Can I Track My Deposit?

You can monitor your deposit directly in the KAST app under your Transaction History - where your most recent transactions appear in real time.

Each entry includes key details like the amount, currency, and confirmation timestamp once the deposit is successfully received.

 

What Should I Do If My Deposit Hasn’t Arrived?

If your funds don’t appear after sending, don’t worry - deposits can take additional time depending on the network, currency type, or verification stage. It’s best to review your transfer details in the app first, then confirm that the network and address used were correct.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I deposit directly from a centralized exchange like Binance or Coinbase?

Yes, as long as the currency and network match KAST’s deposit options. Double-check withdrawal details before confirming to avoid routing errors.

Is there a minimum or maximum deposit amount?

Minimums vary by currency and are displayed in the deposit section of the KAST app. There is no fixed maximum, but very large transfers may trigger a compliance review.

What happens if I forget to include a memo or tag?

Deposits missing a required tag (like for XRP) may take longer to credit. You’ll need to contact KAST Concierge with your transaction details to request manual review.

Can I cancel or reverse a crypto deposit once it’s sent?

No. Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Always verify the address, network, and asset type before sending.

Are there fees for deposits to KAST?

KAST does not charge deposit fees, but you may pay standard blockchain network fees when sending crypto. These are set by the network, not KAST.

Can I deposit unsupported tokens or NFTs to my KAST address?

No. Unsupported assets are not credited and cannot be retrieved. Always check the accepted currencies listed in your app before sending any funds.
