HBAR

Get HBAR ready for your first NFT

Prepare HBAR in your own Hedera wallet for an NFT purchase. Check the receiving account, transfer instructions and fees before you send.

Content reviewed on

HBAR pays for many NFT purchases on SentX and for Hedera network fees. Before buying an NFT, make sure the HBAR is in the Hedera account you will connect to SentX.

Choose the receiving account

Open your wallet and find its Hedera account ID. Check that you are using mainnet and that you control this account. Copy the receiving details from the wallet rather than typing them from memory.

If you use more than one account, give yourself a moment to check which one holds the HBAR and which one is connected to SentX. Those need to match for the purchase you are preparing.

Read the sending service's instructions

Use the HBAR purchase or withdrawal route available to you. Check the supported network, receiving address, any memo instructions, limits and fees shown by that service. Follow the instructions for that specific destination.

Do not assume that a transfer described as a token on another network is a native Hedera HBAR transfer. If the sending screen and the wallet disagree about the network, stop and check with the provider.

Check the transfer result

Review the recipient and amount before sending. After submission, keep the transaction reference and check the receiving wallet. If the balance has not updated, inspect the original transfer before making another one.

Result

  • You should see the HBAR in the account you intend to use. An exchange balance and the balance of your connected wallet are different places to hold funds.

Leave room for the fees

Compare the NFT's asking price with your available balance. Keep enough HBAR for the network and any other charges shown in the purchase flow. Spending the entire balance on the listed price can leave the operation short of fees.

Buy your first NFT with HBAR.

If the funds have not arrived

Check the destination account and network in the sending record. For a withdrawal still pending at a provider, use that provider's support. For a confirmed Hedera transaction, keep its ID so you can inspect the result on the correct network.

Never share your wallet recovery phrase or private key when asking for help.
