# Deposit

Before Kage can place copied trades, the selected wallet must be funded on Polygon and onboarded for Polymarket V2.

### **Supported Deposits**

Only send supported tokens on Polygon:

* USDC on Polygon
* USDC.e on Polygon
* USDT on Polygon

> *Warning: Do not send funds on Ethereum mainnet, Solana, BSC, or any other network. If funds are sent to the wrong chain, recovery may be impossible.*

1. Open the user menu in the upper-right corner.
2. Click Wallet, select the wallet to fund. The default wallet is selected automatically.
3. Copy the deposit address or scan the QR code.
4. From an exchange or external wallet, send USDC, USDC.e, or USDT on Polygon.
5. Wait for on-chain confirmation.
6. Confirm that the Kage wallet balance updates.

Polygon confirmation usually takes 5 to 30 seconds. Kage balance detection may take **1 to 2 minutes.**

### **How Much to Deposit**

| **Level**    | **Amount**         | **Use Case**                                                             |
| ------------ | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Minimum test | 10 USDC            | Enough to test basic flows, but not recommended for ongoing use.         |
| Beginner     | 100 USDC           | Enough for 10 to 20 small copied trades over a few days.                 |
| Standard     | 500 to 2,000 USDC  | Suitable for following multiple targets with reasonable diversification. |
| Heavy use    | 5,000 USDC or more | Best considered only after testing targets with smaller amounts.         |

For small accounts, start with proportional copy sizing, a 5 to 10 percent copy ratio, a single-trade cap, and a total exposure cap.

### **One-Click Onboard**

After the wallet receives funds, you must run **One-Click Onboard** before copy trading.

The process usually takes 60 to 180 seconds and performs several setup actions:

| **Step**              | **What It Does**                                                          | **Notes**                                                                             |                                                       |

| V2 wallet deployment  | Factor                                                                    | What to Check                                                                         | Recommended Standard                                  |
| Stablecoin conversion | Profit duration                                                           | Was the wallet profitable for months, or only during one lucky period?                | Review at least 90 days when possible.                |
| Contract approvals    | Win rate vs. return                                                       | High win rate does not always mean high profit.                                       | Look at average profit per trade and drawdowns.       |
| API credentials       | Trading frequency                                                         | Too many trades may be hard to follow; too few may be whale-style bets.               | 10 to 30 trades per week is often easier to evaluate. |
|                       | Market focus                                                              | Politics, sports, crypto, or mixed.                                                   | Prefer categories you understand.                     |
|                       | Average trade size                                                        | Large wallets may place trades too large for small accounts to follow proportionally. | Match targets to your account size.                   |

> *Important: Do not refresh or close the page while onboarding is running. The backend is processing asynchronous on-chain transactions.*

### **When to Onboard Again**

Normally, onboarding is needed only once per wallet. If you create a new wallet, that new wallet must be funded and onboarded separately.
