Check the minimum and maximum amounts for your selected route: 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Also account for any fee charged by the service you’re sending from.

This ratio refers to the number of tokens; any costs of sending the transfer are accounted for separately. You can check the transaction status using 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁 and your transaction history. Once credited, the funds will appear in your 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 list. Depositing adds funds to your balance. To participate in staking, you need to select and confirm a plan separately.

In addition to rewards from your own stake, Sl8 lets you earn referral rewards from staking by participants in your referral network. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 By inviting users to Sl8, you can earn rewards from their participation in staking. The program extends through 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀.

The referred user does not pay for them: we do not deduct these amounts from their staked principal or rewards. They receive their funds and full staking reward according to their chosen plan’s terms. Referral rewards are credited to the 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁 section. We’ll explain how this section works and how to receive other rewards in a separate post. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 $USDC Once funds are available in your balance, open 𝗨𝗦𝗗𝗖 in your asset list and select 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄. Withdrawals support 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 listed in the deposit section.
