# Fund Your Account

> Add USDC to your wallet to start trading on Vistadex

Vistadex uses USDC (USD Coin) on Solana for all trading activity. You'll need USDC in your connected wallet to buy prediction market positions.

## Getting USDC on Solana

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="From an Exchange">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Buy USDC">
        Purchase USDC on a centralized exchange that supports Solana withdrawals (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, etc.).
      </Step>

      <Step title="Withdraw to Solana">
        When withdrawing, select **Solana** as the network. This is critical—USDC on other networks (Ethereum, Polygon) will not work.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter Your Address">
        Copy your wallet address from Vistadex and paste it as the withdrawal destination.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Confirm and Wait">
        Confirm the withdrawal on the exchange. USDC typically arrives within a few seconds.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Bridge from Other Chains">
    If you have USDC on Ethereum, Polygon, or other chains, you can bridge it to Solana:

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Copy Your Address">
        Copy your wallet address from Vistadex (shown in the header after logging in).
      </Step>

      <Step title="Choose a Bridge">
        Use a cross-chain bridge that supports USDC to Solana.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Bridge USDC">
        Enter your Vistadex wallet address as the destination and initiate the bridge transfer.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Wait for Confirmation">
        Bridge times vary from minutes to hours depending on the service and source chain.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
