How to Deposit
Option 1: Direct Transfer (Easiest)
- Go to Dashboard → Deposit → Polygon USDC
- Copy the address shown (or scan the QR code)
- Send USDC (Polygon) from any wallet or exchange. The dialog shows when it arrives
Don't Have Crypto Yet?
Buy USDC on Polymarket (it supports card and bank purchases), then withdraw it from Polymarket to your Polyfollow address: open Deposit → Polygon USDC, copy the address, and paste it as the withdrawal destination on Polymarket. Polygon is the cheapest network and the fastest to arrive. Already have crypto on an exchange? Use Option 2 or 3 below.
Option 2: From Coinbase
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| Open Coinbase → Go to Send | |
| Select USDC | |
| Paste the address from Deposit → Polygon USDC | |
| Select Polygon as the network (important!) | |
| Confirm and send |
Option 3: From Binance
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| Open Binance → Go to Withdraw | |
| Search for USDC | |
| Paste the address from Deposit → Polygon USDC | |
| Select Polygon network | |
| Confirm and send |
Option 4: From Another Network or Token
Have USDC on Base, ETH on Ethereum, SOL, BTC or USDT on Tron? Send it as it is:
- Open Deposit and pick the network you are sending from: Ethereum, Base & more (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and other EVM networks), Solana, Bitcoin or Tron
- Send a supported token to the address shown for that network
- It becomes USDC for copying automatically, usually within a few minutes. The dialog shows when it is received and when it is ready
| Detail | |
|---|---|
| Minimum | Shown in the dialog for each network (from $2) |
| Cost | A small conversion cost comes out of the amount |
| Addresses | Each network has its own address: send only on the network you picked |
If your Deposit dialog only offers Polygon, your wallet predates this option: bridge to Polygon first with Polygon Bridge or Jumper, then send USDC on Polygon.
Important Rules
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Send USDC on Polygon to your wallet address, or another network's token to that network's address | Send a token to an address picked for a different network |
| Double-check the address | Send from a network the dialog does not list |
| Start with a test amount | Deposit more than you can afford to lose |
Recommended Deposit Amounts
| Portfolio Goal | Suggested Deposit |
|---|---|
| Testing | $20-50 |
| Starter | $100-500 |
| Active | $500-2,000 |
| Serious | $2,000+ |
Deposit Time
Deposits typically confirm in 1-2 minutes on Polygon.
Pro Tip
Keep some buffer! If you copy 3 traders at $25 each, you need at least $75 available - plus extra for overlapping trades.
