Send exactly to:
This asset needs a memo / tag. Send it with or the exchanger cannot credit your deposit.
You receive about at . Exchange reference .
Status: waiting for your deposit
You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect, no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until a swap is opened.
The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. starname.me never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.
The transaction will appear to be accepted by the node, but it will never be included in a block on the canonical chain. You will see a "pending" status that never resolves, and your wallet will show the transaction as stuck until you replace it or the node catches up and rejects it. The exact behav
A stuck Ethereum transaction is one that has been submitted to the network but remains unconfirmed for an unusually long time. You can debug it by querying your RPC endpoint for the transaction's current state, checking its nonce, gas price, and mempool status, then taking corrective action like rep
Your self-hosted node falls out of sync because it cannot process new blocks fast enough to keep up with the network. The root cause is almost always one of three things: insufficient hardware resources, a misconfigured client, or a network connectivity problem. Below is a breakdown of each cause an
The "invalid JSON RPC response" error means your client received data from an RPC endpoint that it could not parse as a properly formed JSON-RPC message. The fix is usually on the endpoint side: the node is misconfigured, overloaded, or returning something that is not a valid RPC response. You canno
Monitor RPC endpoint latency and health by sending regular, low-cost JSON-RPC calls from a server in the same region as your application, tracking response times and error codes over time, and setting alerts for thresholds that matter to your specific use case.

A private RPC endpoint is an exclusive JSON-RPC gateway that only you or your application can use, as opposed to a public endpoint shared by thousands of other users. You need one when the free public endpoints you rely on start failing - returning 429 rate limits, 403 blocks, or degraded performanc

Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing touches the blockchain until you withdraw.
You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the chain and you pay its fee.
