Deposit XLM from Coinbase and Kraken to XORA (2026)
Withdraw Stellar Lumens (XLM) from Coinbase or Kraken to XORA on Stellar mainnet with your mandatory numeric XLM Memo, a 10 XLM test, and ~5s finality.
To deposit Stellar Lumens (XLM) from Coinbase or Kraken into XORA, open /app?asset=XLM#deposit-xlm and copy BOTH XORA's Stellar G... deposit address and your mandatory numeric XLM Memo. Unlike the XRP Ledger's RequireDest flag, the Stellar network cannot reject a payment that omits a memo on-chain, so entering your exact digits in Coinbase's 'XLM Memo' field or Kraken's saved withdrawal address 'Memo' field is essential for automatic attribution. Send a 10 XLM test withdrawal first (~5-second Stellar finality after broadcast). Where enabled, XORA credits variable XLM APY value (up to 15% variable XLM pilot APY shown in-app) with $0 XORA deposit fee. Rates are variable and not guaranteed; XORA is custodial, not a bank, and not FDIC or SIPC insured.

Why Coinbase and Kraken XLM withdrawals MUST include your numeric XORA Memo
XORA routes Stellar deposits through a pooled Stellar G... account and identifies your user balance from the Memo attached to the Stellar payment (MEMO_ID, or MEMO_TEXT containing those exact digits and nothing else). Never add words, labels, or spaces into the Memo field, and never tick 'No Memo Required' on Coinbase or Kraken.
Coinbase & Coinbase Advanced: Stellar G... address + XLM Memo box
In Coinbase or Coinbase Advanced, select Send crypto -> Stellar Lumens (XLM), paste XORA's Stellar G... address from /app?asset=XLM#deposit-xlm, and paste your exact numeric XORA Memo into the 'XLM Memo' input directly beneath the recipient address. Double-check that any recent ACH bank deposit hold has cleared so your XLM is immediately withdrawable.
Kraken & Kraken Pro: saving XORA's G... address WITH your numeric Memo
In Kraken (Funding -> Withdraw -> XLM -> Stellar), click 'Add Stellar address', paste XORA's G... deposit address, and enter your exact numeric XORA Memo in Kraken's Memo field before confirming the new withdrawal address via email and 2FA. Because Kraken binds the saved address and Memo together, verify every digit of the Memo when whitelisting the address.
Native XLM only (no muxed M... or issued tokens) & 10 XLM test (~5s)
Send ordinary native XLM payments only: issued Stellar tokens, path-payment swaps, and muxed M... destinations are not credited automatically. Broadcast a 10 XLM test withdrawal first (near-zero Stellar fee, ~5-second ledger close once broadcast on stellar.expert), confirm it credits in XORA, and then send the remaining balance. Rates are variable and not guaranteed; XORA is custodial, not a bank, and not FDIC or SIPC insured.
Coinbase vs Kraken vs XORA Stellar XLM transfer comparison
| Check | Coinbase / Coinbase Advanced | Kraken / Kraken Pro | XORA XLM rail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Network & asset | Native Stellar Lumens (XLM, G... address) | Native Stellar XLM mainnet (G... address) | Native XLM plain payment only |
| Memo requirement | Mandatory numeric digits in XLM Memo field | Mandatory numeric Memo saved with address | MEMO_ID or exact digits MEMO_TEXT required |
| Exchange fee & speed | Tiny network fee (~5s after broadcast) | ~0.01-0.02 XLM fee (~5s after broadcast) | $0 XORA deposit fee |
| Test send & yield | 10 XLM test send recommended | 10 XLM test send recommended | Up to 15% variable XLM APY where enabled |
XORA receives XLM into a pooled Stellar G... account and credits your balance using your numeric XORA Memo. Never check 'No Memo Required' on Coinbase or Kraken: Stellar does not block untagged transfers on-chain, so an XLM send without your exact numeric Memo lands unattributed and requires slow manual recovery.
Checklist
- Open /app?asset=XLM#deposit-xlm in XORA and copy both XORA's Stellar G... deposit address and your numeric Memo (if the rail is not yet enabled on your account, do not send).
- In Coinbase (Send -> XLM) or Kraken (Withdraw -> XLM -> Add Stellar address), select native Stellar Lumens (XLM).
- Paste XORA's Stellar G... address and verify the leading G and last 6 characters.
- Paste your exact numeric XORA Memo into the XLM Memo field (never add extra text and never select 'No Memo').
- Submit a 10 XLM test withdrawal with passkey/2FA and wait ~5 seconds after exchange broadcast.
- Confirm the 10 XLM test credits in XORA, then withdraw your remaining XLM using the exact same G... address and numeric Memo.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I withdraw XLM from Coinbase or Kraken without my XORA Memo?
Stellar validates and settles untagged payments on-chain without rejecting them, so your XLM lands in XORA's pooled Stellar account as an unattributed orphan. Copy the 64-character Stellar transaction hash from Coinbase, Kraken, or stellar.expert and contact XORA support for manual recovery.
Does Coinbase or Kraken send MEMO_TEXT or MEMO_ID, and does XORA accept both?
XORA attributes both MEMO_ID and MEMO_TEXT as long as the Memo value contains your exact numeric digits from /app?asset=XLM#deposit-xlm and nothing else (no extra words, spaces, or hashes).
Can I send USDC on Stellar or other Stellar tokens to XORA's XLM address?
No. XORA's /app?asset=XLM#deposit-xlm rail credits native XLM sent as an ordinary payment only; issued Stellar tokens and path-payment swaps are not credited.
Why is the Stellar Memo riskier to forget than an XRP Destination Tag?
On the XRP Ledger, an account with RequireDest enabled rejects untagged transfers on-chain before funds leave your wallet. Stellar has no protocol-level RequireDest equivalent, so exchanges will broadcast an untagged XLM withdrawal if you tell them no memo is needed.
