# How to Fund Your Wallet?

{% hint style="warning" %}
**For the best experience on the platform, we recommend funding your account with USDC on Base.** This option provides the smoothest and simplest experience with all our features and services.
{% endhint %}

Every user has two crypto wallets provided on their account. One for Base (and other EVMs in the future) and the other for Solana blockchain. Here's how you can fund them:

### Option 1: Transfer from exchanges or other wallets

You can send cryptocurrencies from any external wallet or exchange to either your Base or Solana wallet. Simply select the appropriate wallet, copy the address and use this address as the destination when sending funds from your external wallet or exchange.

Transactions can take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes to complete depending on the network conditions and exchange (if applicable)

### Option 2: Purchase via Credit / Debit Cards

This option is available on the Base blockchain only through a third party onramp service provider - Banxa. Simply select the pay with credit / debit card option and then click on the "Continue to Payment" button to complete the process.

Depending on the amount, your country of origin and other factors, you may be required to complete KYC verification which is done and handled by Banxa and is not required, received or part of the Onchained platform.

Transactions can take anywhere from a few minutes to more to complete depending on the verification requirements and is entirely managed by Banxa.

**Important Warning**

Always ensure you're sending tokens to the correct blockchain and wallet address. Sending tokens to the wrong chain or address may result in permanent loss of funds. Double-check both the wallet address and the token type before confirming any transactions.
