Important: Save your seed phrase!
Write down your 12-word seed phrase and store it in a safe place. Never share it with anyone. If you lose it, you cannot recover your wallet.
Step 1
Select Token
Choose the cryptocurrency you want to purchase. Currently USDT (Tether) is available, with more tokens coming soon.
Select a token to buy
Tip: USDT (Tether) is the most widely used stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. It's ideal for holding value without crypto price volatility.
Step 2
Choose Network
Select Tron (TRC-20) as the network. This is why you set up a TronLink wallet in the prerequisite step.
Select a network
Why Tron? Tron offers extremely fast transactions (3-5 seconds) and minimal fees (~1 TRX ≈ $0.10). It's the most popular network for USDT transfers worldwide.
Step 3
Review Price
Review the real-time USDT/KRW exchange rate, enter the amount you want to purchase, and see the full fee breakdown before proceeding.
1 USDT$1.00DEX Routing: TikPay sources liquidity directly from DEX pools like SunSwap on Tron. This means no intermediary exchanges and no hidden spreads.
Live Rates: Exchange rates are fetched in real-time from Bithumb. The price you see is the price you get.
Step 4
Identity Verification (KYC)
Complete a one-time identity verification through Persona. This is required by regulation and only needs to be done once.
Government ID
Passport, driver's license, or national ID
Selfie Check
Quick facial recognition to match your ID
Once verified, you can buy instantly
One-time only: After your first verification, all future purchases skip this step entirely. You'll go straight from price review to entering your wallet address.
Step 5
Enter Wallet Address
Paste the TRC-20 wallet address you copied from TronLink. This is where your USDT will be delivered.
Enter your wallet address
Address format: TRC-20 addresses start with the letter "T" and are 34 characters long. Example: T9yD14Nj9j7xAB...
Double-check your address!
Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Sending to the wrong address means permanent loss of funds. Always verify your address before proceeding.
Step 6
Confirm & Pay
Review your complete order summary — including the amount, fees, token, network, and wallet address — then complete payment with your credit card.
