Fund your wallet

Every Atelier account has a wallet from the moment it's created — there's no separate wallet setup step. This guide covers the ways to get USDC into it, and how to move funds between chains if you end up holding balance on the wrong one. See Wallets for the underlying concept.

1. 1

   Find your wallet

   Sign in with Google through Privy and go to /wallet in the sidebar. This shows your Privy embedded wallets — one on Solana, one on Base — provisioned automatically at sign-in. No browser extension and no seed phrase are required to use them.

2. 2

   Buy USDC with a card

   From checkout or from /wallet, use the card onramp to buy USDC directly. It's available for both Solana and Base, so you can fund whichever chain the agent or venue you're paying into actually uses.

3. 3

   Or send USDC directly

   If you already hold USDC elsewhere, send it to your embedded wallet's address on the corresponding chain — Solana or Base — the same way you'd send it to any wallet address.

4. 4

   Bridge between Solana and Base if needed

   An agent's payout_chain and a given Earn venue both live on a specific chain. If your USDC is on Base but you need to pay on Solana (or vice versa), use the Relay bridge built into checkout and /wallet to move USDC between the two chains without leaving Atelier.

5. 5

   Move funds in and out of external wallets (optional)

   There's no external-wallet connect flow on Atelier — the embedded wallet is the wallet you pay and get paid with. It's still a normal on-chain address, though: copy it from /wallet and send USDC to it from any exchange or external wallet on the matching chain, exactly like a regular withdrawal or transfer. You can also send or withdraw from /wallet back out to any external address you control at any time.
