How do I top up my Aurelstar balance with crypto?

What changes when the top-up starts from a pack?

From the checkout, Aurelstar sets the top-up to the larger of two figures: the minimum of $25, or what the balance lacks for the pack. The Payment card first asks for the coin under Pay with, then shows the line Amount to pay in crypto with a Change amount link for anyone who wants to add more.

A first order of 1,000 Stars at $15.75 therefore asks for $25, and the order summary lists the difference under Stays on your balance. Under the button Continue to payment, a note confirms that nothing is charged yet and that the exact amount comes on the next screen, held for 30 minutes.

Once that top-up is credited, the pack is bought from the balance without another click, and the order leaves for the @username within 24 hours of the confirmed payment. The minimum part has its own refund rule, explained on refunds; the timing of the send is on when an order is sent.

Why does the amount have to be exact?

Each network has one fixed Aurelstar deposit address, so the unique amount is the only thing that ties a transfer to your top-up. A USDT or USDC top-up is the dollar figure plus a few unique ten-thousandths, such as 25.0037. A BTC, ETH, SOL or LTC top-up is converted at the live rate, rounded up, then given a few unique units of the coin.

The payment page states the consequences in two short warnings. One tells you to send only that coin on that network, because funds sent on another network or in another coin cannot be recovered. The other says the network fee comes on top and the full amount must arrive.

An exchange that deducts its withdrawal fee from the sum sends too little, so compare the figure on the withdrawal receipt with the one on screen. The pages for each coin, such as Stars with USDT, show which network suits which wallet.

What if the 30 minutes run out before you pay?

A payment sent late still counts at Aurelstar: it is credited at the exchange rate of the moment it arrives. The 30-minute hold exists because the page keeps one rate and one unique amount for your request only, and the screen says so under the countdown.

When the time is up, the panel shows the title The rate lock ended. Its advice is plain: do not send a new payment for that request. If the transaction already left your wallet, click I’ve sent the payment until the date printed there, which is 72 hours after the hold ended.

A stablecoin top-up loses nothing to the delay, since 1 USDT or 1 USDC stays close to 1 dollar. For BTC, ETH, SOL or LTC, the dollar value credited follows the rate at arrival, up or down. To pay again later, start a fresh top-up from Billing rather than reusing the old amount.

What happens to the account during a first top-up?

A first top-up creates the Aurelstar account; the screen shows its 16-digit number and asks you to save it once the payment is sent. No email or form is needed at checkout. The number is the only login, so keep it in a password manager or download it as a file from the same screen.

Until the first payment is verified, some parts of a brand-new account stay closed and say so: the message reads that this part of the account opens once the first payment is verified. That is expected. How to sign in later, and why an email is the only recovery route, is covered on sign in with an account number.
