## Treasury Addresses

Deposits go to Aster's treasury addresses per chain. These are shown in the Tangerine deposit panel when you select a chain and token. Always verify you're sending to the address shown in the Tangerine UI — do not manually type addresses.

<Warning>
  Always copy the deposit address directly from the Tangerine deposit panel. Never manually enter an address — even a single character error will result in permanent fund loss.
</Warning>

## After Depositing

Once the deposit confirms, your Aster balance will appear in the Portfolio panel. If it's your first deposit on Aster, complete [platform setup](/platforms/aster/setup) before trading.
