  2. Type in a secure wallet name and password.

  3. Confirm your password.

  4. Using a pen and paper, write down your 24-word seed phrase exactly as it appears. Number each word to make verifying easier.

    Protect your seed phrase

    Anyone with your seed phrase can access your money, and there is no recourse for someone stealing your seed phrase. To protect your seed phrase, consider the following tips:

    • Never save or store your seed phrase as a digital file on any device.

    • Always write down your seed phrase with a pen and paper.

    • Store the paper with your seed phrase on it somewhere safe.

    • Never give your seed phrase to anyone, not even support staff.

  5. Verify your writing to make sure every word is spelled correctly and in the right order. If you numbered your phrase, it can be helpful to verify it backward.

  6. Check the box ensuring you wrote down your seed phrase, and click Submit.

  3. Withdraw any token supported by the Terra network from your exchange. Every exchange is different. Please visit your exchange’s web page for guides on how to withdraw tokens. Use the following steps as a generic guide.

    1. To receive tokens to your wallet, use your wallet address. Your wallet address will appear at the top of the Terra station app near your wallet name. Your wallet address will look like this: terra<random-numbers-and-letters>

    2. Double-check your wallet address is correct before sending.

    3. Send the tokens from the exchange to your Terra Station wallet address.

    Waiting times for transfers

    When you transfer tokens from an exchange to Terra, some time will pass before the tokens appear in your wallet. Don’t panic. This waiting period is normal and varies depending on the exchange. If a transfer does not appear immediately, check back after some time.

Now you have tokens on Terra!

Send tokens#

  1. Open the Terra Station browser extension and connect to your wallet.

  2. Click Send next to the token you want to send.
