Connect your Terra Station wallet to Anchor Protocol

The first step you’ll need to do is to connect your Terra Station wallet to Anchor Protocol.

You will be given the option to either connect your Terra Station wallet via the Chrome extension, or via Wallet Connect.

If you already have the Chrome extension of Terra Station installed, it will connect to Anchor Protocol automatically.

Once your Terra Station wallet is connected, you will need to go to the ‘Earn‘ tab on Anchor.

On the dashboard, you will need to go to select ‘Withdraw‘.

This will allow you to withdraw UST from Anchor Protocol back to your Terra Station wallet.

Enter the amount of UST that you want to withdraw and confirm the transaction

For the last step, you will need to decide the amount of UST you wish to withdraw from Anchor Protocol.

Each transaction will incur a transaction fee, so you may want to minimise the number of transactions to withdraw UST from Anchor Protocol.

However, the good thing is that the fees on the Terra network are much lower compared to other networks like Ethereum.

Once you have confirmed the transaction on your Terra Station wallet, the UST will be transferred back to your Terra Station wallet.

If you check your transaction history, you will notice that your funds in aUST will be converted back to UST. You can read my comparison between aUST and UST to find out more.

This will allow you to either swap it for another cryptocurrency on Terra Station, or you can send it to an exchange to sell it back to USD.

If you are withdrawing to an exchange, don’t forget to include the memo when withdrawing from your Terra Station wallet!
