## Ways to add funds

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="From any wallet or exchange">
    The **Any chain** option gives you one address that accepts almost **any token on almost any chain** and automatically converts it into spendable funds. Choose whether the funds should land on **Kalshi** or **Polymarket**, then send from your wallet or exchange.

    This is the simplest option if you're not sure what to send.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Fund Kalshi (USDC)">
    Send **USDC on Solana** to your Kalshi deposit address. You can withdraw USDC from an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) on the Solana network, or send from any Solana wallet.

    <Warning>
      Keep a tiny amount of SOL (about 0.01) in the wallet to cover network fees. Before your first Kalshi **buy**, you'll also need to [verify your identity](/trading/identity).
    </Warning>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Fund Polymarket">
    Panther gives you a **Polymarket deposit address** that accepts funds from several networks and automatically converts them into your Polymarket balance. Send from an exchange or wallet and it lands ready to trade.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Buy with a card">
    Choose **Buy USDC** to purchase with a debit/credit card or Apple Pay through Panther's on-ramp partner. The funds arrive in the account you selected.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Sending funds out

To move funds off Panther, open **Balances** and choose **Send**. Enter an external Solana or Polygon address and the amount (or use **Max**), then confirm.

<Note>
  Your funds are self-custody — they're yours. You can also reveal your wallet keys from **Balances → ⋯ → Export wallet** to move to another app at any time.
