Which networks can I deposit on?

The Deposit page lists the networks that are open right now, usually TRON, BNB Chain, Ethereum and Aptos. Each shows its minimum and the confirmations it needs.

Is there a minimum deposit?

Yes, and it depends on the network. It is shown next to the network and above the amount box, and the page refuses an amount below it.

How long does a deposit take?

Usually a few minutes after you send it. The counter on the deposit shows how many confirmations it has and how many it needs.

No: deposits are USDT only. To turn Birr into USDT, buy it from a seller with Telebirr or your bank.

I sent it on the wrong network. Can I get it back?

Sometimes. Claim it on the Deposit page with the transaction hash and tell us what happened in the note. Our team looks at each one, but there is no guarantee when the coins went to an address we don't control.

How to deposit USDT to your wallet

You need USDT in your wallet before you can sell. A deposit takes a few minutes: you ask for an address, send the exact amount to it from your own wallet or exchange, and we credit it when the network confirms it.

Step by step

Step 1
Open Wallet, then Deposit
Tap Wallet, then Deposit. If you only want to buy USDT with Birr, you don't need to deposit at all: buy it from a seller and it lands in your wallet. Deposit is for USDT you already hold somewhere else.
Step 2
Choose the network
If more than one network is offered (TRON, BNB Chain, Ethereum or Aptos), pick the one your sending wallet or exchange will use. Each option shows its minimum deposit and how many confirmations it needs. The network must be the same on both sides: USDT sent on the wrong network is lost.
Step 3
Enter how much you will send
Type the amount of USDT, at least the minimum shown. You get a deposit address and the exact amount to send, valid for 5 minutes. We may add a tiny fraction to the amount so we can recognise your transfer among others.
Step 4
Send exactly that amount to the address
Copy the address or scan the QR code in your wallet or exchange, choose the same network, and send exactly the amount shown before the timer runs out. Double-check the first and last characters of the address after pasting. For a large amount, send a small test first.
Step 5
Wait for the confirmations
The deposit appears under Recent deposits with a counter such as 3/20 confirmations. Most transfers finish within minutes, depending on the network. You don't need to keep the page open.
Step 6
Check your balance
When the last confirmation arrives, the USDT is added to your wallet automatically and shows in your activity. It is now available to sell or to put into a sell ad.

If your deposit doesn't arrive

A different amount, the wrong network, a transfer sent after the timer ran out, or a transfer sent without asking for an address are not credited automatically. They aren't lost either: on the Deposit page, under "Sent USDT but it didn't arrive?", choose Claim a missing deposit, pick the network and paste the transaction hash from your wallet or exchange. Our team checks it and credits your wallet if it matches.

Fees

Collext doesn't charge for deposits. The sending wallet or exchange may charge its own network fee, so check the amount that actually leaves your account.
