Frequently asked questions

Do I need crypto experience to follow these?

No. The beginner walkthroughs assume you have never held a wallet and explain each step, including the ones most guides skip because they seem obvious.

Are these guides kept up to date?

They are revised when a flow changes, and each one carries the date it was last updated. Interfaces move, so if a step no longer matches what you see, tell us and it gets fixed.

What do I need before starting?

For most guides, a wallet with a small amount of USDC on Polygon. The setup tutorials cover getting that far from nothing.

Which tutorial should I start with?

If you have never traded on Polymarket, start with the beginner guide and the fees explainer. Everything else assumes you can place and exit a position.
