You have three simple ways to fund your account:

1. Free Bank Transfer (Best for cash deposits)
2. Transfer from a Crypto Exchange (Coinbase, Binance, etc.)
3. Send from a Crypto Wallet (Metamask, Phantom, etc.)
   ‍

3. Choose your Country of Residence (Note: Bank transfers are not yet supported in all countries).
4. Complete the Identity Verification steps.

Sending the Funds: Once verified, you can transfer funds just like paying back a friend.

Option 2: Transfer from a Crypto Exchange

Best for: Moving existing crypto from apps like Coinbase or Binance.

1. Tap Deposit on the Zeal home screen.

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: Choose the Right Network

Avoid the Ethereum Network: Unless you are an advanced user, DO NOT send tokens via the Ethereum network. It is expensive and complex to use. Recommended Networks: We strongly recommend sending tokens on cheaper, faster networks such as Polygon, Gnosis, Optimism, or Arbitrum.

Option 3: Send from a Crypto Wallet

Best for: Moving assets from Metamask, Phantom, or other self-custodial wallets.

1. Tap Deposit on the Zeal home screen.
2. Select From another wallet.
3. Tap Show your wallet address.
4. Copy your Zeal address.
5. Open your other wallet app (e.g., Metamask).
6. Paste your Zeal address as the recipient and send your tokens.

⚠️ Reminder: As mentioned above, please avoid using the Ethereum network due to high costs. We recommend using Polygon, Gnosis, Optimism, or Arbitrum for the best experience.
