AnnXRP Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi, This is my first post and I hope someone can help me. I traded some XRP for SGB using the dex on the xrp toolkit and wanted to send the SGB to my Bifrost wallet. I scanned in the Bifrost deposit barcode and it was correct but I got a message "invalid address" on the toolkit. Is this maybe because it's an 0x address? I don't really understand what the problem is. Is there any way to get my SGB from the XRP Ledger to Bifrost? I was going to sell the SGB back to XRP and send the XRP to Bitrue but there's no buyers for it right now so I'm stuck! Grateful for any words of wisdom. Thanks, Ann thinlyspread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinlyspread Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Yes, essentially, you are using two different networks: XRP(L) and Songbird. What you own is an "IOU" (for "real" Songbird) issued by (I assume) Gatehub, an exchange. So the way to redeem the SGB you have is through their platform. It's like owning a USD IOU of Bitstamp, or a EUR IOU from Gatehub, etc. So you can hold SGB on the XRPL as an IOU but cannot send it directly from there to Bifrost, only to other XRPL wallets. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinlyspread Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 As far as there being no buyers. Yes that is a problem. You have to check the 'liquidity' in the orderbooks before you buy/sell any asset. Sometimes you can get "stuck" one way (e.g. in your case after buying) because there is no one else willing to buy when/if you sell. So perhaps your best route is... opening a Gatehub account and importing your XRPL private key (very carefully) that holds the SGB. Then you can use Gatehub (who hold the "real" SGB) to withdraw SGB from Gatehub into Bifrost or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnXRP Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Thanks so much for your reply. I've gone through the whole rigmarole of opening a Gatehub account and from what I can see I'm going to have to leave 10 XRP there, is that correct? The last thing I want is yet another XRP account as I was only trying to send a fiver's worth of SGB (I'm compounding my SFIN so often that the gas fees are mounting up so I just wanted to do a top up). Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use Sologenic's DEX (see link below) to place LIMIT orders, then you will either get your price, no action, or partial fill - WAY better than just blindly making an "at-market" trade at an unknown liquidity market https://sologenic.org/trade?market=XRP%2FSGB%2BrctArjqVvTHihekzDeecKo6mkTYTUSBNc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
