This offer is available for AQUA and ICE token holders who are using StellarX website.

We'll send the cashback to your wallet when we confirm your purchase with MoonPay. 

If you have an account with StellarX, you can navigate to the 'Buy Crypto' tab on the StellarX web and mobile apps to top up your wallet balance with XLM.

How do I lock my AQUA to receive ICE? 

In order to get ICE token, you should have AQUA token on your Stellar wallet balance. 

You can get ICE token by locking (freezing) AQUA via the Aquarius locker tool. 

You can get up to 10 ICE tokens for 1 AQUA token.

Follow this guide to lock your AQUA and receive ICE for increased cashback on your XLM purchases.

1. Open the Aquarius locker tool website and choose Sign in in the upper right corner.

2. Select the Secret Key option in the Sign-in pop-up

3. Go to your account Settings -> User profile, choose 'Show secret key' and enter your account password or Recovery phrase. Copy the address that is displayed under Secret seed.

Paste the copied earlier Secret Seed to the corresponding field and click on the 'Connect' button.

4. You will be logged in on the web and see your AQUA and ICE balances. Choose the AQUA amount and period for which you'd like to lock AQUA.

Note: The more the lock period is, the more ICE tokens you get.

Note: Freezing AQUA requires you to add the 4 ICE trustlines. Each trustline will reserve 0.5 XLM of your wallet balance.
