Funding Your Wallet
Beforehand uses Privy to provide wallet funding options. Privy is a wallet infrastructure service that enables users to fund their embedded wallets through multiple methods.
Funding Methods
You can add funds to your wallet using:
- Debit/Credit Card: Purchase USDC directly with your card
- Apple Pay & Google Pay: Quick mobile payments
- External Wallets: Transfer or bridge assets from MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or other wallets
- Cryptocurrency Exchanges: Transfer USDC from exchanges like Coinbase
- Bank Transfer: Withdraw funds from your bank account via ACH, wire, or SEPA
What You're Funding
All trading on Beforehand uses USDC (USD Coin), an ERC20 stablecoin. When you fund your wallet, you're purchasing or transferring USDC that will be used for trading on markets.

Fees
Funding Fees
Privy and payment providers may charge fees for card purchases and bank transfers. These fees vary by payment method. Beforehand does not add additional fees beyond what Privy and payment providers charge.
Gas and Network Costs
Gas costs are minimal and are covered by the platform through trading fees. You don't need to worry about holding native tokens (like ETH) for gas. Your USDC balance is all you need for trading.
The platform covers gas costs through trading fees, so you can focus on trading without managing gas fees separately.
