How to Add Money to Your Raenest Account With Crypto

You can add money to your Raenest account using Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or Solana (SOL).

When you deposit any of these cryptocurrencies, Raenest automatically converts the amount to USDC at the prevailing market rate and credits your USDC wallet. You don't need to create a separate crypto wallet in Raenest before using this feature. Raenest automatically generates a unique deposit address the first time you use each cryptocurrency.

Available Cryptocurrencies

Raenest supports the following cryptocurrencies for deposits:

Steps To Add Money With Crypto

Follow these steps to fund your Raenest account using BTC, ETH or SOL.

Step 1: Open Add Money

Log in to your Raenest app and select Add Money from the Home screen.

Step 2: Select your cryptocurrency

In the Paying with field, select the cryptocurrency you want to use: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) or Solana (SOL).

Step 3: Review the transaction details

Review the transaction details displayed on the screen, including the applicable fee, estimated delivery time and exchange rate. Check the minimum deposit amount for your chosen cryptocurrency before proceeding.

Step 4: Copy your deposit address

Select Continue to proceed to the payment screen.

Copy the deposit address displayed on the screen or scan the QR code. Each cryptocurrency has its own unique deposit address. Make sure you use the address provided for the cryptocurrency you're sending.

Step 5: Send the cryptocurrency

Open your external crypto wallet or exchange and initiate a transfer to the deposit address displayed in Raenest. Before confirming the transaction, ensure that:

  • You're sending the correct cryptocurrency.

  • The destination address matches the one displayed in your Raenest app.

  • You're sending at least the minimum required amount.

Step 6: Wait for your USDC wallet to be credited

Once the transaction receives the required blockchain confirmation, Raenest automatically converts the deposited cryptocurrency to USDC and credits your USDC wallet. Typical delivery time is 10 to 30 minutes, though processing times may vary.

Minimum Deposit Amounts

Each supported cryptocurrency has a minimum deposit amount.

Cryptocurrency

Minimum Deposit

Bitcoin (BTC)

0.00003 BTC

Ethereum (ETH)

0.001 ETH

Solana (SOL)

0.02 SOL

Important: If you send less than the minimum amount, the transaction will not be processed, and your account will not be credited. According to the current support guide, funds sent below the minimum remain at the deposit address and cannot currently be retrieved.

Always confirm the minimum amount before sending your cryptocurrency.

Crypto Deposit Fees

A fee of 0.8% applies to crypto deposits, with a minimum fee of 1.5 USDC. The fee is deducted from the USDC amount after your cryptocurrency has been converted.

For example, if the converted deposit amount is $100 worth of USDC, the 0.8% fee would be 0.80 USDC. Since the minimum fee is 1.5 USDC, the fee applied would be 1.5 USDC, leaving 98.5 USDC to be credited to your wallet.

The transaction details show the applicable fee before you confirm the deposit. If the amount remaining after the fee is deducted is very small or zero, you will receive only the remaining amount. The transaction fee is not refunded.

How Cryptocurrency Conversion Works

When you deposit BTC, ETH, or SOL, Raenest converts the cryptocurrency to USDC at the prevailing market rate when the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain.

The final USDC amount may differ from the estimate displayed when you initiate the transaction because cryptocurrency prices fluctuate.

A processing fee is also deducted from the converted amount before the remaining USDC is credited to your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Which cryptocurrencies can I use to add money to Raenest?

You can use Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). These options are listed under the Crypto section of the Paying with currency selector.

2. Which wallet receives my deposit?

All deposits made using BTC, ETH or SOL are converted to USDC and credited to your Raenest USDC wallet. You won't receive BTC, ETH or SOL balances in your Raenest account.

3. Do I need to create a crypto wallet address before depositing?

No. When you select BTC, ETH, or SOL for the first time, Raenest automatically generates a unique deposit address for that cryptocurrency.

4. Will my deposit address change?

Your deposit address is unique to your Raenest account for each supported cryptocurrency and remains the same for future deposits. Always copy the address displayed in your Raenest app before sending funds.

5. How long does a crypto deposit take?

Deposits typically take 10-30 minutes. The actual processing time depends on the transaction and blockchain confirmation process.

6. Why did I receive less USDC than expected?

There are two main reasons:

  • Exchange rate changes: The conversion uses the prevailing market rate when the transaction is confirmed, which may differ from the rate shown when you initiated the deposit.

  • Processing fees: A fee of 0.8%, with a minimum of 1.5 USDC, is deducted from the converted amount.

7. What happens if I send less than the minimum deposit amount?

The transaction will not be processed, and your Raenest account will not be credited. The current support guide states that funds sent below the minimum cannot currently be retrieved.

8. Can Raenest recover cryptocurrency sent to the wrong address?

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Raenest can only credit funds sent to your assigned deposit address. Recovery cannot be guaranteed.

If you believe you used the correct address but your funds haven't arrived, contact Raenest Support and provide the transaction hash.

9. Why hasn't my USDC wallet been credited?

First, confirm that:

  • You used the correct deposit address.

  • You sent the correct cryptocurrency.

  • The transaction has been confirmed on the blockchain.

You can check the transaction status using its hash on the relevant blockchain explorer. If the transaction is confirmed, the correct address was used, and your wallet has not been credited after 30 minutes, contact Raenest Support for further investigation.

10. Will my deposit address appear in my transaction history?

No. Your transaction history displays the transaction hash rather than the deposit address.

  1. What should I do if my crypto deposit fails?

Check the transaction status, confirm the deposit address and review the transaction details. If the transaction is confirmed on-chain but your USDC wallet has not been credited after 30 minutes, contact Raenest Support. When contacting Support, provide:

  • Your Raenest account email address.

  • The cryptocurrency used.

  • The amount sent.

  • The transaction hash.

  • The date and time of the transaction.

  • Your app version.

  • Any relevant screenshots or error messages.
