How Is My Conversion Rate Determined?
Your conversion rate is based on the real-time market price of the coin you send at the moment your deposit is processed. The rate is locked in as soon as your transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, so you don’t need to worry about sudden price swings while waiting. You can always view the estimated rate in the app before sending, but the final stablecoin amount you receive may be slightly higher or lower depending on market changes during processing.
Are There Fees For Conversion?
Yes. Every conversion includes a fee that covers the cost of processing your deposit and converting it into stablecoins. The percentage depends on the coin and network you use. The exact fee is shown in your transaction details, so you’ll always know the precise amount of stablecoins you received after conversion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I send an unsupported coin?
If you send a coin that isn’t supported, it cannot be recovered and may be lost permanently. To avoid losing funds, always check the list of supported coins and networks in the app before making a transfer.
Can I choose not to convert my deposit to stablecoins?
No. All non-stablecoin deposits are automatically converted to stablecoins once they are processed. This protects your balance from market volatility and keeps the value stable.
Can I see the conversion rate before I send my coins?
Yes. The app shows you a live estimated rate before you confirm your deposit. The final rate is locked in at the exact moment your transaction is processed and credited to your account.
Are there minimum or maximum deposit amounts?
Yes. Minimum deposit amounts depend on the token you are sending and are displayed before you copy your KAST address. Maximum deposit limits may also apply, and these are listed in the app.
Can I reverse a conversion after it’s done?
No. Once a conversion is completed, it cannot be reversed. Make sure you are comfortable with the conversion before sending your deposit.
Do conversion fees change depending on the token I send?
Yes. Conversion fees vary depending on the token and the network used. The exact fee will be shown in your transaction details once your deposit is processed.
How long will it take for my stablecoins to appear?
In most cases, your stablecoins appear within minutes after your deposit is confirmed on the blockchain. However, during periods of heavy network activity, it may take up to a few hours.
