Understanding Deposit Addresses

Spray and Play uses platform-generated deposit addresses. Instead of connecting your wallet, you send crypto to addresses the platform creates for you.

---

How Deposit Addresses Work

The Process

1. Platform generates a unique deposit address for your account

2. You send crypto from your exchange or wallet to this address

3. Platform monitors the blockchain for incoming deposits

4. Your balance updates automatically after confirmations

5. You spray from your platform balance

Address Types

:::info

One Address, Multiple EVM Chains: Your single EVM deposit address works for Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BSC, and HyperEVM. All EVM deposits go to the same address.

Getting Your Deposit Address

Step-by-Step

1. Go to Profile → Deposit

2. Select your Coin (USDC, USDT, ETH, BNB, SOL, BLT, HYPE)

3. Select your Network:

- Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BSC, HyperEVM (all use same EVM address)

- Solana (separate Solana address)

4. Platform displays:

- Deposit address (text)

- QR code (for mobile wallets)

- Supported coins for that network

Important Safety Rules

✅ DO:

• Verify the address character-by-character before sending
• Send a small test amount first
• Use the QR code to avoid copy-paste errors
• Check network congestion for timing estimates
• Keep transaction hashes for your records

❌ DON'T:

• Send unsupported coins (they will be lost)
• Use the wrong network (e.g., send Base USDC to Ethereum address)
• Send to an expired/old address (always get fresh from Profile)
• Send from an exchange that doesn't support the token/network

⚠️ WARNING: Wrong Network = Lost Funds

If you send:

• Base USDC to Ethereum address → Lost
• Ethereum USDC to Solana address → Lost
• Unsupported token to any address → Lost

Always triple-check the network matches what you selected on the platform.

Troubleshooting

Deposit Not Showing

Wrong Network Sent

If you sent on wrong network:

1. Don't panic — funds may be recoverable

2. Contact support immediately with tx hash

3. Recovery may take time and incur fees

4. Not all wrong-network sends are recoverable

Exchange Issues

Some exchanges may:

• Delay withdrawals for "security review"
• Require additional verification
• Have minimum withdrawal amounts
• Not support certain networks

Check your exchange's policies before depositing.

Best Practices

For Efficiency

1. Use L2 Networks — Base, Arbitrum, HyperEVM are cheapest

2. Batch Deposits — Send larger amounts less frequently

3. Plan Ahead — Deposit before you want to spray

4. Monitor Gas — Deposit when gas is low (not during network congestion)

For Security

1. Start Small — Test with $5-10 before sending large amounts

2. Verify Address — Check every character, especially first/last 6

3. Use QR Codes — For mobile transfers, scan instead of typing

4. Save Tx Hashes — Keep records of all deposits
