How to Activate HBAR Token Address
Part 1. Why You Need to Activate the Token Address
Due to the special mechanism of the HBAR network, your wallet address must be activated with HBAR tokens (JAM/NADA, etc.) before transferring any tokens to the address. Please ensure that your wallet address has at least 10 HBAR tokens before activating any assets, as adding assets requires payment of network fees. If your withdrawal address does not have an active asset, you will not be able to withdraw.
Part 2. How To Check Whether a Token Address Has Been Activated
A. Status: Activated
You can search for your address on the HBAR block explorer at
https://app.dragonglass.me/ to check whether the corresponding assets have been activated, as shown in the figure below. If there are transfer records and the ACCOUNTS section shows that the activated tokens have been added, it means that you are able to transfer activated assets to this address.
B. Status: Not Activated
You can search for your address on the HBAR block explorer at
https://app.dragonglass.me/ to check whether the corresponding assets have been activated, as shown in the figure below. If there are no transfer records and the
ACCOUNTS section is empty, it means that no HBAR standard assets have been added to this address.
