Important Deposit Tips
Avoid common mistakes when funding your account:
Use Polygon Network
When sending USDC from exchanges, always select Polygon (MATIC) network. Ethereum mainnet transfers are more expensive.
Double-Check Address
Always verify the deposit address before sending. Copy-paste to avoid errors.
Card Fees Apply
Credit/debit card purchases include processing fees (typically 3-5%). Crypto transfers are often cheaper.
KYC for Large Deposits
Card purchases over certain amounts may require identity verification through MoonPay.
Keep Some for Gas
While Polygon gas is cheap, keep a small MATIC balance for transactions if using external wallet.
Exchange Withdrawal Times
Withdrawing from exchanges may have processing delays. Plan ahead for time-sensitive trades.
