Balance FAQs
Why is My Balance Zero?
Possible reasons:
New wallet - Haven't received funds yet
Wrong network - On testnet instead of mainnet
Not synced - Pull to refresh
Wrong wallet - Imported different seed phrase
Check:
Verify you're on correct network
Confirm you have the right wallet
Pull to refresh
Check address on block explorer
Why Did My Balance Decrease?
Common reasons:
Sent transaction - You sent KAS to someone
Fee deducted - Network fee for transaction
Token purchase - Bought KRC20 token on marketplace
Price dropped - Fiat value decreased (but KAS amount same)
Check Activity feed:
Review recent transactions
Verify all transactions are yours
Contact support if unauthorized transaction
Balance Shows But Can't Send
Possible causes:
Insufficient for fee - Balance lower than amount + fee
Minimum output - Trying to send less than network minimum
UTXO locked - Pending transaction using same UTXOs
Dust - Balance too small to spend efficiently
Solution:
Try sending slightly less
Wait for pending transaction to complete
Combine small UTXOs
Balance Different from Block Explorer
Reasons:
Recent transaction - Kasanova updated, explorer lagging
Multiple addresses - Explorer showing one address, wallet showing all
Pending transaction - Kasanova shows available, explorer shows total
To verify:
Check all your addresses on explorer
Wait a moment for sync
