Top up SOL

Why would I top up SOL?

SOL pays Solana network fees, so you need some in your Solana wallet to use the Aurum dApp. Aurum Platform lets you buy it with USDT from your main wallet without leaving the platform.

How do I top up SOL?

1. 1Open your wallet panel and click Get SOL (pay with USDT).
2. 2Amount: enter how much USDT to spend, or click Max to use your available balance. Click Get quote.
3. 3Review: you see the SOL you will receive, the minimum guaranteed, what you pay, the platform fee and the Solana wallet it goes to. The quote is valid for about a minute. Click Confirm top-up.
4. 4Enter your PIN, then your two-factor authentication code, and verify.
5. 5Status: your top-up is submitted and your USDT is swapped to SOL. This usually takes a few minutes; you can close the panel while it runs.
6. 6When it completes you see the SOL received and the transaction hashes on both BSC and Solana. The SOL is in your Solana wallet.

What is the fee?

The platform fee is 0.2% of the top-up. It is shown as a separate line on the review step.

Which currency is the platform fee charged in?

USDAU first. If you hold USDAU with any bullion dealer, the fee is taken from that USDAU. Only if you have no USDAU is the fee taken from your USDT. In short: USDAU is the priority, USDT is the last resort.

Is the SOL amount guaranteed?

The review step shows an estimated amount and a minimum guaranteed; you receive at least the minimum. The quote expires after about a minute, so confirm promptly or request a new one.

Where does the SOL go?

To your own Solana wallet inside Aurum Platform, the one shown on the review step. The same wallet is used when you sign in to the dApp with your Aurum Platform account.

How long does a top-up take?

A SOL top-up on Aurum Platform usually takes a few minutes because USDT is swapped to SOL across BSC and Solana.
