Fund your wallet
Protection premiums and liquidity deposits are paid in USDC on Stellar. You can send USDC directly on Stellar, or send stablecoins from a supported EVM network and BlockFinaX converts and moves them for you.
Step 1: open Deposit
- Open Wallet.
- Select Deposit. You can select Cancel at any time to close it.
Step 2: choose where you are sending from
| Sending from | What to send | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Stellar | USDC | It arrives in your Stellar account directly. |
| Base | USDC | Send it to your personal Base deposit address. It is moved to your Stellar account automatically through Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), usually within a minute. Nothing to approve. |
The app shows your deposit address for the network you choose, as text and as a QR code. Your Base deposit address belongs to you alone: it can only send USDC to your own BlockFinaX account, and nobody, including BlockFinaX, can redirect it.
Step 3: send the funds
- From your exchange or other wallet, send the stablecoin to the address shown, on the network shown.
- Wait for it to arrive. Stellar deposits arrive in seconds. Deposits from an EVM network take longer while they are converted and moved; the app shows the progress.
Send only USDC, and only on the network the app shows for that address. Other tokens are never credited, and funds sent on another network may not be recoverable. There is a minimum deposit; smaller amounts wait until more arrives.
Costs
Moving USDC from Base to Stellar costs a small Circle fee (about 0.01% of the amount), shown before you approve. There are no network fees for you to pay.
Withdrawing
Withdraw works the other way: choose the network and address to send to, enter the amount, and approve with your passkey. Withdrawing to Base comes from your Stellar balance through CCTP: you approve twice (allow the transfer, then send it), and Circle charges a delivery fee of about 0.07 USDC, shown before you approve. Transfers cannot be reversed, so check the address.
