4: Transfer funds into your StraitsX account from your BasedApp wallet

You will have to transfer some XSGD from your BasedApp wallet to your StraitsX account to verify your ownership of the address. And that's it! With StraitsX + BasedApp, you have now unlocked the easiest and cheapest way to get in and out of crypto.

If you have USDC/ USDT already on StraitsX, you will not be able to send your USDC/ USDT into BasedApp directly via StraitsX. This is because StraitsX only supports "Transfer Out" activities on Ethereum network and not Polygon which BasedApp uses.

To workaround this, you can do a "Swap" within the StraitsX dashboard. Swap USDC/ USDT into XSGD at the quoted rate by StraitsX and then transfer the corresponding XSGD on Polygon network.
