Before You Start
Make sure you have:
-
MetaMask installed and connected to the correct network. MetaMask supports Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, and Solana. Make sure you are on the network where your stablecoins are held.

USDC, USDT, or DAI in your MetaMask wallet. You need the stablecoin on a Peanut-supported network.
-
Native tokens for gas. You need a small balance of the network's native token (ETH, MATIC, SOL, or AVAX) to pay gas fees. Without this, the transaction cannot be sent.

A verified Peanut account. Verification takes under 2 minutes.
