# Small Assets Exchange

### Overview

Small Assets Exchange allows users to convert low value spot assets into ASTER with a single action. This feature helps consolidate small balances that may be difficult to trade individually due to low value or minimum order size requirements.

The system automatically scans eligible spot assets with a value below the supported threshold and converts them into ASTER using real time index pricing.

***

### Eligible Assets

An asset is eligible for Small Assets Exchange if:

* The spot asset value is **below $5**
* The asset has an available spot trading pair
* The asset is not ASTER

Assets that do not meet these conditions will not appear in the exchange list.

### Exchange Rules

#### Minimum Exchange Amount

The minimum exchange value per asset is **$0.001**. Assets below this value cannot be exchanged.

***

#### Daily Conversion Limit

Each user can use Small Assets Exchange up to the configured daily limit. If the limit is reached, the system will display:

**“You have reached the daily conversion limit. Please try again tomorrow.”**

Platform-wide daily conversion limits may also apply.

***

#### Price Updates

Estimated exchange values refresh every **5 seconds** using external index prices.

If market prices move significantly after confirmation, certain asset conversions may fail while others continue processing normally.

***

#### Exchange Fees

**2%** of the exchange fee is charged during the conversion process.

* Fees are deducted from the final ASTER received
* The estimated fee is displayed before confirmation&#x20;

***

#### Partial Conversion Failures

If one asset fails during conversion, the remaining selected assets will continue processing.

Example:

**Conversion failed for AT, RAVE, KIT. Please try again later.**

## Frequently Asked Questions

#### 1. Which assets can be converted?

Only non-ASTER spot assets valued below $5 and supported by an available spot trading pair can be exchanged.

#### 2. How is the exchange price calculated?

Conversion prices are calculated using external real-time index prices for both the selected asset and ASTER at the time of confirmation.

#### 3. Why did some assets fail to convert?

If market prices move significantly after confirmation or liquidity conditions change, certain assets may fail while other selected assets continue processing successfully.

#### 4. How often does the estimated exchange amount refresh?

Estimated prices and ASTER amounts refresh approximately every 5 seconds.

#### 5. Can I exchange ASTER through this feature?

No. ASTER itself is excluded from Small Assets Exchange.
