Getting Started
What Are ETOP Shards?
Shards are the balance you use on ETOP, for gold and for DOTA2 and CS2 items in the store. That is why players top them up and cash them out constantly.
How Do I Get Shards?
Two ways: through ETOP itself, or instantly on ETOPCHANGER. Here you pay USDT on the network you already use.
The shards land in your ETOP account automatically, usually in under a minute. Open 24/7.
The live rate is one number for everyone, identical on every network.

| Term | What it is |
|---|---|
| Shards | Your balance on ETOP: the unit you top up and cash out |
| Gold | The on-site form of the same value; shards exchange for gold there |
| Items | Dota 2 and CS2 skins, sets and knives, taken from the ETOP store with that balance |
If you remember one thing: shards are the money, items are the goods.
Words You Will Run Into
- ETOP / etopfun — the site's name; both refer to the same place.
- ETOP shard — the balance. Marketplaces list it as "etop shard", "etopfun shard" or "etop/5etop shard".
- Rate — how much USDT one shard costs. On ETOPCHANGER it is one number for everyone, published on the price page.
- SteamID / DigitalID — your ETOP account's identity; shards are delivered there, never to an email or phone number.
- Gift — ETOP's account-to-account shard transfer; it is what you use when you sell shards to us.
Frequently Asked
- Where do I find my SteamID?
- Open your Steam profile and copy the long number at the end of the URL (starts with 7656119…). If you log into ETOP with a DigitalID, that works too — both point at the same account.
- Can I sell shards too?
- Yes. Send shards to our account and claim on the site; the USDT reaches your wallet after a final check.
- How fast is delivery?
- Usually within seconds of the payment being detected on the blockchain. Delivery is automated and runs 24/7.
