Funding Your Account
Everything on onchain.cc runs from your self-custody wallets, with three products keeping their own trading balance: your wallet (used by Swap and Trenches), Perps/Spot (one shared Hyperliquid balance), and Predictions. This page covers getting money in, moving it between products, and getting it out.
Adding funds
Section titled “Adding funds”Open Add funds from the header balance menu or the Portfolio page. Two tabs:
Cash — buy with card or mobile pay
Section titled “Cash — buy with card or mobile pay”- Buy USDC directly in a secure checkout — card, or Apple Pay / Google Pay where available — delivered to your wallet on Solana or Base (you pick the delivery chain).
- Minimum purchase: $20. Quick amounts from $50 to $1,000, or enter your own.
- Pay in USD by default; other major currencies are supported in the checkout.
- After purchase, the terminal watches for the funds to arrive and confirms with a notification — card settlements typically land within minutes.
Crypto — deposit or pull from another wallet
Section titled “Crypto — deposit or pull from another wallet”- Deposit — copy your address or scan the QR code. Solana and all supported EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB, Linea, Scroll, Gnosis, Berachain, Robinhood, Arc) are accepted.
- Connect wallet — connect Phantom, MetaMask, or another external wallet and transfer funds across in a guided flow without leaving the terminal.
Depositing crypto to your wallet address
Moving funds between products
Section titled “Moving funds between products”Use Transfer from the header balance menu or the Portfolio page. Transfers always run between your wallet and a product balance:
| Product balance | Used by | Deposit minimum | Withdrawal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perps/Spot | The Hyperliquid order-book terminal. Perps and Spot share one USDC balance — there is nothing to move between them. | $10 | Minimum $2, $1 Hyperliquid fee; arrives as USDC on Arbitrum |
| Predictions | Prediction markets. | $2 | Arrives as USDC.e on Polygon, 1:1, no onchain.cc fee |
Two deposit speeds for Perps/Spot:
- Instant — arrives in seconds; routing fee may vary.
- Standard — cheaper; takes a few minutes.
You can fund from any supported chain — the terminal routes and bridges automatically.
Gas fees
Section titled “Gas fees”Trades on Swap and Trenches settle on-chain, so the network charges a small gas fee in the chain’s native token (SOL on Solana, ETH on Ethereum, and so on) — separate from the onchain.cc fee.
- On most supported EVM chains, gas is sponsored — you can trade without holding the native token.
- On Solana, Ethereum, and BNB, keep a small native-token balance for gas or transactions will fail. On Solana a few thousandths of a SOL covers a trade; hold a little more than you think you need.
Perps, Spot, and Predictions trade against product balances, so individual orders there don’t need gas from your wallet.
Getting money out
Section titled “Getting money out”Everything flows back to your wallet, and from there anywhere you like:
- Withdraw product balances — Perps/Spot withdrawals arrive as USDC on Arbitrum; Predictions withdrawals as USDC.e on Polygon.
- Send from your wallet — use Send on the Portfolio or Wallets page to transfer any asset to any address, including an exchange account.
There is no in-app cash-out to a bank card yet — to convert back to fiat, send funds to your exchange of choice (Bitso included) and withdraw from there.
