Fund with USDC on the Polygon network, sent from an exchange that supports Polygon withdrawals or from a self custody wallet. Select Polygon as the network, not Ethereum, and confirm the address. Deposits usually appear within a few minutes.
On the US version, yes. You can deposit with a debit or credit card, an ACH bank transfer, or USDC, and the platform converts fiat for you. The international version is USDC on Polygon only.
On the international version, send USDC from your portfolio to a Polygon address such as your exchange deposit address. The US version follows the methods supported for your verified account. Confirm current options on the platform.
US users complete full identity verification under CFTC rules. The international app has historically required less, but you should confirm the current requirement for your account.
Polymarket uses USDC on Polygon. Sending on the wrong network, such as Ethereum, can lose your funds or cost far more in fees. Always choose Polygon and double check the address before sending.
