Funding Your Wallet

PreviousCreating or Importing a WalletNextSupported Assets & Blockchains

Last updated 5 months ago

You can add crypto funds to your wallet by buying it from an exchange and transferring to your wallet or by receiving it from another wallet.

We recommend adding a small amount of POL (for Polygon) or ETH (for Base) to get started.

A small amount of POL is required to send transactions on Polygon, while ETH is required to send transactions on Base. These blockchain related transaction fees are called "Gas Fees" and are not controlled or set by us.

For additional information, please read our article, Understanding Network Fees.

Buying From Exchanges

Buying crypto from exchanges is relatively straight forward, but does require an account and usually identity verification.

We'll walkthrough how to do it on popular exchange, Coinbase.
