If you accidentally deposited Solana (SOL) into your KAST wallet instead of a supported stablecoin (USDT or USDC), recovery may be possible in certain cases. This guide explains what happens, what you should do, and what to expect.
Are Solana Transactions Reversible?
All blockchain transactions - including those on the Solana network - are irreversible. Once SOL is sent, it cannot be automatically refunded.
If you sent SOL to your KAST wallet address, recovery may be possible, but it is not guaranteed. Each request is subject to technical feasibility, processing time, and compliance checks.

Our team will review your deposit for recovery eligibility. If approved, SOL will be converted into USDT or USDC and credit it to your account. Processing usually takes 1–2 weeks and may include recovery fees.
Important Notes
- Recovery Is Not Guaranteed: If SOL was sent to the wrong address or cannot be verified, funds may be permanently lost.
- KAST Only Supports USDT and USDC: Sending unsupported tokens like SOL carries the risk of delays, fees, or permanent loss.
- Future Precaution: Always double-check the deposit asset, address, and supported networks before sending funds.
Can SOL Be Converted to USDT or USDC on KAST?
Yes, KAST can convert certain crypto (currently Solana (SOL), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH)) into stablecoins, but you must send the funds to the Liquidation Address provided in the app instead of your KAST wallet address.
Crypto sent to the liquidation address is automatically sold, and you’ll receive the equivalent amount in stablecoins (USDT/USDC) at the effective rate when the deposit is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I sent SOL to the wrong wallet address, not my KAST address?
Unfortunately, KAST cannot recover funds sent to an external or incorrect wallet address. Only deposits made to your KAST wallet address may qualify for recovery.
Can I request recovery for other unsupported tokens besides SOL?
Yes, but each case is reviewed individually. Recovery is only considered for deposits sent directly to your KAST wallet and may not be possible for all token types.
Can I speed up the recovery process?
The timeline depends on technical checks and compliance review. Submitting complete details (TxID, screenshots, and token info) right away is the best way to avoid delays.
Can I cancel a liquidation once I’ve sent the crypto?
No. Once crypto is sent to the liquidation address, the process is automatic and cannot be reversed. Make sure to double-check the asset type, network, and address before sending.
How long does liquidation take?
Most liquidations are completed within minutes after the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain. In some cases, network congestion may cause slight delays.
Is there a minimum or maximum amount I can convert through liquidation?
Yes. The minimum amount is $1, and the maximum is $1,000,000 per transaction. For larger amounts, please contact KAST Concierge for assistance and guidance.
