How Deposits Work on PredictEngine
When you create a PredictEngine account, the platform automatically generates a Polygon walletfor you. This wallet holds your USDC trading balance and is used for all Polymarket trades. Your wallet's private key is encrypted with AES encryption and stored securely — you never need to manage keys or seed phrases.
PredictEngine supports deposits from any major blockchain through the Li.Fi cross-chain bridge aggregator. Whether your USDC is on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BNB Chain, or Polygon, you can deposit it to your PredictEngine wallet with a single transaction.
Cross-Chain Deposits via Li.Fi
The easiest way to deposit is using PredictEngine's one-click cross-chain deposit feature. Navigate to Wallet, click Deposit, and select your source chain. The Li.Fi aggregator finds the best bridge route with the lowest fees and fastest processing time across dozens of bridge protocols.
Cross-chain deposits typically complete in 2-15 minutesdepending on the source chain. Ethereum deposits take longest (5-15 minutes) due to block confirmation times, while deposits from Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base are faster (2-5 minutes). PredictEngine's deposit scanner checks for incoming funds every 30 seconds and credits your balance automatically.
Direct Polygon USDC Transfers
If you already have USDC on Polygon, you can send it directly to your PredictEngine wallet address. Copy your wallet address from the Deposit page, open your personal wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.), and send USDC on the Polygon network. Direct deposits confirm in under 5 seconds with gas fees under $0.01.
Make sure you are sending USDC (not USDT or other tokens) on the Polygon network. Sending tokens on the wrong network will result in lost funds that cannot be recovered. Double-check the network selection in your wallet before confirming the transaction.
Deposit Troubleshooting
If your deposit does not appear after the expected time, first check the transaction status on the relevant block explorer (Polygonscan for Polygon, Etherscan for Ethereum). If the transaction shows as confirmed but your PredictEngine balance has not updated, the deposit scanner may be processing the next batch — wait up to 60 seconds.
Common deposit issues include: sending on the wrong network (always verify the chain), sending unsupported tokens (only USDC is accepted), and bridge delays during high-traffic periods. If your deposit is stuck for more than 30 minutes, contact support through the PredictEngine dashboard with your transaction hash.
