Deposit Funds into Your Wallet

There are few way you can deposit funds into your wallet

  1. Send from other wallet or centralized exchange

If you already have crypto in centralized exchange or other wallet, the simplest way is to deposit fund to the wallet you want to connect with SuperIntent

(Below we take MetaMask and Binance mobile as example)

  • Copy your public wallet address from your wallet

  • Paste it into the sender field of the external wallet or exchange.

  • Make sure you select the correct network before sending

⚠️ MetaMask is an EVM-compatible wallet, so you can select any supported EVM network. In Phase 1, SuperIntent supports Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base. We suggest selecting one of these three networks in order to make your investment.

  • Input amount and confirm. the transaction usually arrives within a few minutes

Notes:Your wallet address can be shared as a QR code. Some apps, especially CEX withdrawal UIs, include a network prefix before the address, for example ethereum:0x... or arbitrum:0x.... If the UI requires a plain address, remove the prefix for example: ethereum:

📖What’s EVM and EVM-Compatible Wallets

Many popular chains such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, and BNB Chain are EVM chains. EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine, the system that runs smart contracts (programs that execute automatically on the blockchain). An EVM-compatible wallet like MetaMask can connect to any of these chains. Because EVM is the most widely adopted standard in DeFi, one EVM-compatible wallet lets you access multiple networks using the same wallet address.

💡 Think of EVM as a mobile operating system like iOS or Android. An EVM-compatible wallet is like your smartphone that can run apps built for that system.

📖 Why You Must Select the Correct Chain When Depositing

When depositing, you must always choose the correct blockchain (chain).

Even though your wallet address may look the same across different EVM chains, the assets on each chain are separate and not interchangeable.

Two Common Cases

1. Sending from a non-EVM chain to an EVM wallet

  • Example: Sending tokens from a Non EVM address (e.g., using Solana Phantom) to a EVM address (e.g., using MetaMask)

  • Result: The tokens may be lost, because non-EVM chains are not compatible with EVM wallets.

2. Sending to the wrong EVM chain

  • Example: Selecting Ethereum instead of Arbitrum, while the protocol you want to invest in runs on Arbitrum.

  • Result: The tokens will still appear in your wallet, but they are on the wrong chain.

  • Solution: Before investing, you must use a cross-chain bridge to move them to the correct chain.

💡 Think of your EVM wallet address as a train station. The station has one address but multiple platforms. Each platform and track correspond to a different chain. Trains are your tokens. A train must run on the correct track to reach the platform that offers the service you want, for example a protocol running on Arbitrum. If the train boards the wrong platform, you need to move it across platforms. Non-EVM chains are like completely different stations. If you send from a token(a train) from non-EVM chain (the platform and track) to an EVM address (another station), the train cannot arrive and the tokens may be lost or inaccessible.

💡 Tip: Always double-check the token, recipient wallet address, and blockchain network before sending. For large transfers, do a small test transfer first - confirm token type, network, and address match to greatly reduce the risk of lost funds.

  1. Buy Crypto directly to your wallet

Many wallets partner with third-party on-ramp providers so you can buy crypto inside the wallet using a credit, debit card, apple/google pay, bank transfer or other local payment methods. Please refer to the official guides below:
