What is everPay?

everPay is a cross-chain payment protocol based on Arweave built by everVision, providing token payment and settlement services with real-time and low transaction fees for Arweave ecological projects and users.

With the development and maturity of the Arweave ecosystem, a growing number of users will participate. When using the services and functions provided by ecological projects, users may need to complete a payment by depositing assets to everPay.

Therefore, there is a situation that when users use the functions of everPay such as deposit, transfer and withdraw, they may lose assets due to inadequate understanding of the functions. In this background, it is necessary to write a simple tutorial for users' reference so as to ensure the safety of users' property and improve their experiences.

Let's visualise the circulation path of assets on everPay through the following figure.

💡 At present, the networks and wallets supported by everPay are as follows:
Network: Ethereum, Arweave, Moonbeam, BSC, Conflux, PlatON.
Wallets: Metamask, Wallet Connect, Huobi Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, BitKeep, Safeheron, Math Wallet.

You may have the following needs when using everPay:

If you don't know how to transfer your assets to or from everPay, hopefully this tutorial can help you. You can find the corresponding detailed demonstration steps as follows according to your needs.

(Unless there are special illustrations throughout the article, the centralised exchange takes the "Binance" as an example, and the asset takes the "AR token" as an example.)

1. How to transfer assets from everPay to a "wallet"?

Steps: Obtain the address of Arconnect/Metamask wallet → Use the withdraw function in everPay → Enter the address of Arconnect wallet → Withdraw successfully

Click Arconnect/Metamask wallet to copy the "wallet address".
Open everPay and connect your Arconnect wallet, enter the "Bridge" interface and select the "Withdraw" function, select the "Arweave" network and paste the "Address" copied from Arconnect wallet, click on "Withdraw" to complete the transfer.

If you're withdrawing AR tokens, you can choose to withdraw from Arweave, Ethereum, or Moonbeam networks.

2.How to transfer assets from everPay to a "centralised exchange"?

Steps: Withdraw assets to your Arconnect wallet in everPay → Obtain the deposit address of assets in the Binance → deposit to the Binance in Arconnect wallet → Deposit successfully

First, withdraw AR tokens to your Arconnect wallet in everPay. For details, refer to "How to transfer assets from everPay to " a wallet".
Open the "Deposit" interface of AR tokens in Binance, select "Arweave" as the deposit network, and then copy the "deposit Address" for AR tokens in Binance.

To deposit AR tokens in Binance can only use the Arweave network.
3.Open the Arconnect wallet, click "Send", fill in the corresponding "deposit Address" in Binance, enter the number of AR tokens, and finally click "Send AR".

💡 If the assets going into the "centralised exchange" from everPay are Ethereum network assets (such as ETH tokens) Then the steps are as follows: Withdraw assets from everPay to Metamask wallet → Get the Ethereum network‘s deposit address of the assets in the Binance → deposit the Ethereum network in the Metamask wallet to the Binance.

Similar or repetitive demonstrations would not be shown below.

Risk tips: Please do not withdraw asset directly from everPay to the centralised exchange account, which may cause irreparable asset losses.
