Funding Your Wallet

You can add 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.
