Withdraw (Pulsar → Mina)
A withdrawal burns pMINA on Pulsar and releases the same amount of MINA from the settlement contract to your Mina account. It is a Mina transaction signed in Auro, so no Cosmos wallet is involved at any point.
The numbers
- Maximum: your full pMINA balance
- Mina fee: 0.1 MINA
- Down payment: 1 MINA, refunded with a valid withdrawal
- Mina balance needed: 1.1 MINA (down payment plus fee)
- Time to pay out: about two hours to burn, then the next settlement
The down payment
Every withdrawal locks a 1 MINA down payment in the contract alongside the request. When Pulsar judges the withdrawal valid, the payout returns it, so you receive amount + 1 MINA. When it judges the withdrawal invalid, because the sender is unregistered or the pMINA balance no longer covers the amount when the chain scans it, the down payment is forfeited and nothing is burned.
Keep your balance until it settles
The chain checks your pMINA balance when it scans the withdrawal, not when you sign it. If you spend the balance in the meantime and it dips below the withdrawn amount, the withdrawal is voided and the 1 MINA down payment is lost. The app reserves the amount in its Send view for exactly this reason, so don't work around it from another wallet.
Steps
- Open the bridge, switch direction to Pulsar → Mina, and connect Auro.
- Enter the amount, up to your full balance.
- Sign in Auro. The transaction carries the down payment, which you will see as part of the same transaction.
What happens next
- The withdrawal action reaches the settlement contract on Mina.
- After Mina finality, about two hours, Pulsar validators verify your registered account holds enough pMINA and burn it.
- The next settlement proof pays out amount + 1 MINA down payment to your Mina address.
Track it under Transactions: pending until the burn, then settled. The MINA payout follows with the settlement that consumes the action.
