Add cash from a crypto wallet or exchange

Receive USDC on Base from another wallet or exchange.

These instructions show the new Tuyo app. The methods available to you depend on your country, device, account verification, and the amount you enter. Follow the choices shown in your app. Start with Home → green + → Add cash, as shown in Choose how to add cash. For wallet, card or linked-bank payments, enter your amount before choosing the method. If your app shows Card, Bank and Crypto choices first, choose the relevant route.

Quick text guide

1. On Add money, tap the payment-method row to open Add money from.
2. In Add money from, choose Add crypto under Other. If the initial deposit choices are shown, choose Crypto to open your receiving address directly.
3. On Deposit stablecoins, tap Send to address to receive from a wallet or exchange. If Coinbase appears, you can choose it instead and follow Coinbase’s deposit and approval flow. Coinbase is an optional route; it does not appear for every account.
4. Check Supported networks before sending. Only use a network listed in your app, then close this sheet to return to the address. For spendable Cash, use USDC on Base. Other tokens can appear in Investments on the network they were sent on and may need conversion before they become Cash. A supported network alone does not mean every token is ready to spend.
5. For money you want to use as Cash, send USDC on Base. Copy your own address or scan the QR code from Receive USDC on Base. In the sending wallet or exchange, choose USDC, choose the Base network, enter the amount, and carefully check the destination and any network or withdrawal fee before sending. Use the address in your app, never the example in a screenshot.

Check that your money arrived

Return to Home → Cash and check your balance and activity. Keep the receipt or transaction reference until the deposit arrives. A provider approval or bank confirmation is not the same as funds arriving in Tuyo.

Review current fees, conversion charges, limits and estimated arrival before confirming. Methods vary by country, device, verification and amount.
