Step 3: Get Ready
You'll need these tokens for the platform:
-
POL tokens (for fees)
-
USDC tokens (for donating)
-
Both can be purchased on most crypto exchanges
Donation Process (Important!)
IMPORTANT: Two-Step Donation Process
When donating, you will see TWO MetaMask popups:
-
First popup: "Approve" - This allows the website to access your USDC tokens
-
Second popup: "Confirm" - This actually sends your donation
You MUST approve BOTH popups for your donation to go through!
Many users get confused when they see the second popup - this is normal and expected.
-
Gas Fee Settings
NOTE: When donating or creating campaigns, MetaMask will ask about gas fees - choose "Aggressive" for fastest processing.
