The integration of the Huobi Eco Chain (HECO) with the ThunderCore Bridge provides a seamless method for transferring assets across different blockchains. This cross-chain technology allows users to move digital assets between Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and HECO with ease. By leveraging ThunderCore's faster transaction speeds and lower gas fees, users gain access to a broader range of profitable opportunities and decentralized services.
This guide covers the essential steps for depositing HT and HUSD into your TT Wallet and configuring decentralized wallets to handle TT-HT and TT-HUSD tokens. Transferring Thunder Tokens (TT) between ThunderCore and HECO will be detailed in a separate article.
Important Precautions
Before proceeding, note these critical points to avoid permanent asset loss:
- Do not transfer HT (TT-HT) directly from your TT Wallet to a Huobi Global Exchange wallet or any centralized exchange wallet. These transactions may appear on block explorers but will not be credited by the exchange.
- HUSD (TT-HUSD) transfers to exchange wallets generally work without issues.
- To withdraw TT-HT to Huobi Global Exchange, first use the ThunderCore Bridge to send assets to a decentralized wallet like MetaMask, then proceed to the exchange.
- HRC20-TT (TT on HECO) is pegged by Huobi Global and is not compatible with the ThunderCore Bridge or TT Wallet.
- Always double-check addresses before confirming transactions, as errors can lead to irreversible losses.
How to Deposit HT and HUSD to Your TT Wallet
Method 1: From a Huobi Global Exchange Wallet
This is the simplest method for moving assets from a centralized exchange to your TT Wallet.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Log in to your Huobi Global Exchange account.
- Navigate to "Balances" and select "Exchange Account (Deposit and withdrawal)."
- Click on "Withdraw."
- Select HT as the token and choose HECO as the transfer network.
- Enter your TT Wallet's recipient address for HT. You can find this address by selecting the TT-HT balance in your TT Wallet and clicking "Receive."
- Input the amount you wish to withdraw.
Key Considerations:
- A minimum deposit of 0.3 HT is required for the transaction to reflect in your TT Wallet. Deposits below this threshold will not be visible.
- There is no minimum deposit requirement for HUSD.
- After confirming the withdrawal, the assets should appear in your TT Wallet within minutes. Click the refresh button to update your balance.
Method 2: From a Decentralized Wallet (e.g., MetaMask)
This method is ideal if your assets are already in a self-custody wallet connected to the HECO network.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Open your MetaMask wallet and ensure it is connected to the HECO Mainnet.
- Select your HT (HRC20-HT) balance and click "Send."
- Enter your TT Wallet's recipient address for HT.
- Input the desired transfer amount, ensuring you leave enough HRC20-HT for gas fees.
- Adjust the gas price to 10–15 for optimal processing.
- Confirm the transaction and wait for it to be processed over several blocks.
Key Considerations:
- The 0.3 HT minimum deposit rule applies. Transactions below this amount will not be visible in your TT Wallet.
- There is no minimum for HUSD transfers.
- Refresh your TT Wallet to see the updated TT-HT balance.
Method 3: Using the ThunderCore Bridge
For users comfortable with cross-chain bridges, this method offers a direct way to convert and transfer assets.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Visit the ThunderCore Bridge and connect your MetaMask wallet to the HECO Mainnet.
- Select the "HT > TT-HT" conversion option.
- Enter the amount of HRC20-HT you wish to transfer and the recipient address from your TT Wallet.
- Click "Transfer" and confirm the details on the pop-up screen.
- Ensure you have enough HT for gas and adjust the gas price to 10–15.
Key Considerations:
- The 0.3 HT minimum deposit rule applies here as well.
- Transactions are typically completed within seconds.
- Refresh your TT Wallet to view the new TT-HT balance.

How to Add TT-HT and TT-HUSD to MetaMask
To manage these tokens in your decentralized wallet, you need to manually add them to MetaMask.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Open your MetaMask wallet and connect it to the ThunderCore Mainnet.
- Scroll down and click "Add Token."
Enter the correct token contract address for the asset you want to add:
- TT-HT: 0x0212b1F75503413b01A98158434c4570FB6e808c
- TT-HUSD: 0xFd6Ec3E37F112bD30BbD726E7b0E73000CC2B98d
- MetaMask will auto-populate the token symbol and decimals. Click "Next" and then "Add Tokens" to confirm.
The tokens will now be visible in your wallet, allowing you to send, receive, and manage them alongside your other assets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum deposit for HT to a TT Wallet?
A minimum of 0.3 HT is required for the transaction to be visible and accessible in your TT Wallet. Deposits below this amount will not be reflected in your balance, though they may appear on a block explorer.
Can I transfer HUSD directly to an exchange wallet?
Yes, unlike HT, HUSD (TT-HUSD) can typically be transferred directly from a TT Wallet to a Huobi Global Exchange wallet without any issues.
Why can't I use the bridge for HRC20-TT?
HRC20-TT is a pegged asset managed by Huobi Global and operates on a different standard. It is not compatible with the ThunderCore Bridge's cross-chain functionality.
What should I do if my transaction is taking too long?
First, check the transaction status on the relevant block explorer (HECO Scan or ThunderCore Scan). If it's confirmed on-chain but not in your wallet, try refreshing your wallet balance. For prolonged delays, ensure your gas fee was sufficient.
Is Trust Wallet supported for these transfers?
No, Trust Wallet does not currently support the HECO Mainnet. It is recommended to use MetaMask for decentralized wallet operations involving HECO.
How do I get help if I lose my assets?
Unfortunately, transactions on the blockchain are irreversible. For guidance on best practices and preventive measures, consult official documentation. For specific technical issues, you can seek support from the platform's help center.
