# Deposit

Deposits move crypto from any external wallet or exchange into your ZeroTick wallet. You pick a network, copy your address or scan the QR code, and send funds to it from the other app.

{% hint style="info" %}
You need to be logged in. The **Deposit** button appears in the navbar only for signed-in users; if you see **Sign up** and **Log in** instead, log in first. Both buttons open the sign-in dialog in place.
{% endhint %}

### Receive funds

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the Deposit modal

Press **Deposit** in the navbar, at the top right.

You can also open it from Portfolio: press the deposit icon on your wallet card.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Choose the network

Open the **Network** dropdown and pick the network you will send funds on. A network is already selected when the modal opens; make sure it matches the one you are sending from.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Copy your address

Press **Copy address**. The button reads **Copied** while the address is on your clipboard.

Two alternatives: scan the QR code with the sending device, or press the share icon (**Share address**) to pass the address through your device's share options. If sharing is unavailable, the share button copies the address instead.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Send funds from the other wallet

In your external wallet or exchange, paste the address and send the amount you want. There is no amount field in ZeroTick; you set the amount in the sending app.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Match the network before you send. Funds sent on a different network than the one selected in the modal can be lost permanently. The modal repeats this under the address, for example: "Only send SOL or tokens on the Solana network."
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Wait for the confirmation

Leave the rest to the network. The strip at the bottom of the modal shows the minimum deposit and the typical confirmation time for the selected network.

{% hint style="success" %}
Once the network confirms the transfer, the funds appear in your wallet balance in the navbar and in Portfolio. No further action is needed in ZeroTick.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Deposits have no ZeroTick fee; you only pay the sending network's gas. For fee background and withdrawals, see [Deposit & Withdraw](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/portfolio-and-wallet/deposit-and-withdraw).

### Minimums and confirmation times

The note under the address shows three things for the selected network: the "Only send ..." safety reminder, the minimum deposit, and the typical confirmation time. A **Secured wallet** tag appears once the address is loaded from your secured wallet. Current values per network:

| Network  | Asset | Minimum deposit | Typical confirmation |
| -------- | ----- | --------------- | -------------------- |
| Ethereum | ETH   | 0.0001 ETH      | \~3 min              |
| Binance  | BNB   | 0.001 BNB       | \~45 sec             |
| Polygon  | POL   | 0.01 POL        | \~5 min              |
| Arbitrum | ETH   | 0.0001 ETH      | \~1 sec              |
| Base     | ETH   | 0.0001 ETH      | \~2 sec              |
| Optimism | ETH   | 0.0001 ETH      | \~2 sec              |
| Solana   | SOL   | 0.001 SOL       | \~1 sec              |
| Monad    | MON   | 0.001 MON       | \~1 sec              |

The modal is authoritative: it always shows the current values for the network you pick.

<details>

<summary>The QR code shows a spinner instead of the address</summary>

The modal is fetching your address from your secured wallet. The QR code and the full address appear within a few seconds. If it takes longer, close the modal and open it again.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I deposit tokens, or only the network's main coin?</summary>

Both. The same address receives the network's native coin and any token on that network. The safety note names the native coin, for example "Only send SOL or tokens on the Solana network": anything on the selected network is fine, anything on a different network is not.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why is there no amount field or wallet selector?</summary>

Your ZeroTick account has one wallet, so there is nothing to select. And a deposit is initiated by the sending app, not by ZeroTick, so the amount is whatever you send from the other wallet or exchange.
