# How to Deposit

#### 1. Open the Deposit Portal

Go to the **Portfolio** tab at the top of CordEx.\
Click **Open Deposit Portal**.

Discord will prompt you to confirm leaving the app — accept this to open the secure external deposit portal in your browser.

***

#### 2. Complete the Portal Onboarding

On the deposit portal page, follow the onboarding steps:

* Click **Connect Wallet**
* Choose your login method: **Google, X, Discord, or External Wallet**

***

#### 3. Choose How to Fund

After connecting, click **Fund**.\
You will see funding options depending on how you logged in:

**If you connected with Google / X / Discord (social login):**

* Binance (opens external window)
* Bybit (opens external window)
* Card payment
* Direct transfer to the displayed address

👉 Social logins are **gas-sponsored** — you only send the asset. No gas fees required.

**If you connected with an External Wallet:**

* Send funds from your wallet to the displayed deposit address

👉 External wallet deposits require normal network gas fees.

***

#### 4. Confirm Deposit

Once your funds arrive at the deposit address:

* Confirm the deposit in the portal (gas-sponsored for social users)
* Funds will then be credited to your CordEx wallet

***

After confirmation, your balance will appear in your CordEx **Portfolio** and is ready to trade.
