Your wallet
Your wallet is your own non-custodial Solana wallet. You hold the USDC, and nobody but you can move it.
kapiche sets up an embedded wallet for you via Privy, so there is nothing to install. It is yours: you hold the funds and control the keys. When you join a real-money pot, kapiche reads your balance to confirm you can cover your stake. See Security & non-custodial.
Adding funds
Fund your wallet with your own USDC on Solana. Once it lands, your balance is ready for real-money pots. There is nothing to top up for the free points game: points pots never touch your wallet.
Covering your commitments
Before you join a real-money pot, kapiche reads your balance to check your wallet can cover everything you are already on the hook for, your open real-money stakes and any debt you still owe, plus the new stake. If it is short, you are asked to add funds first, so you never commit to more than you can actually settle. Your USDC stays put and spendable the whole time.
Withdrawing
The wallet is yours, so your USDC is always yours to take. Withdraw moves funds out to another Solana address whenever you want. It is your money leaving your wallet on your say-so.
