Astar is on the ETH network. Before depositing or bridging, match the network and contract on the exchange’s deposit screen.
Listed contract 0xf274…9689 on ETH. Confirm on an official explorer before sending funds — scammers clone tickers.
No — on a centralized exchange you can buy ASTR inside the exchange account first. Withdraw to a self-custody wallet later if you want long-term holding, using the correct network.
Three costs decide it: the exchange's taker fee, the spread you cross, and how you fund the account. A limit (maker) order usually costs less than a market (taker) order, and funding with a USDT or USD transfer is normally cheaper than a card purchase, which carries its own processing fee. Check the fee schedules on Kraken, Crypto.com, Bitget before you trade — they differ.
Most major exchanges let you buy USD or USDT with a card, then swap into ASTR on Kraken. Direct card-to-ASTR depends on the exchange and your country — check that venue’s payment options.
Binance yes, Coinbase no. ASTR trades spot on Binance, but Coinbase is not among the venues listing it today.
That depends on the exchange, not on ASTR itself — each venue serves different regions and runs its own verification. Check the exchange’s country list before signing up.
