Deposits

Deposits in PredictDog are used to fund the rail required by a specific product or recovery flow.

PredictDog deposit flow

The current deposit flow shows the route explicitly: supported chain, supported token, minimum deposit, transfer address, recipient, and a deposit-status section that users can refresh after sending funds.

Safest deposit workflow​

Use this sequence when funding for the first time:

  1. begin from the product flow that asks for funds
  2. read the exact rail named by PredictDog
  3. use the provided deposit address or route for that rail
  4. wait for the route to settle before assuming the target product is ready

What to expect​

  • the deposit address or route can differ by chain family
  • the route can involve a bridge or an intermediate intake address
  • the displayed status may lag the actual transfer lifecycle depending on the route

What not to assume​

  • one successful deposit does not automatically make every product ready
  • a quoted destination amount is not the same thing as final settled balance
  • a delayed status view does not automatically mean the deposit failed

Practical deposit guidance​

  • Always start from the product flow that asked you to fund.
  • Use the named rail shown by PredictDog instead of guessing based on a balance you already have elsewhere.
  • Treat a deposit quote as an estimate, not as the final proof of completed settlement.

If you are unsure where to deposit​

Do not guess from memory.

Instead:

  1. go back to the blocked product flow
  2. read which asset and chain it is asking for
  3. fund that exact rail

Deposits vs fee recovery​

Sometimes PredictDog is not asking you to fund a brand new trading action. It is asking you to restore the balance required to settle an earlier platform fee.

In that case, the correct mental model is:

  • you are recovering the settlement rail for a previous action
  • you are not starting from a blank account state

That distinction matters because the required asset or chain may be narrower than your general account balance.

Common mistake​

Users often see a recovery prompt and think they are being asked to make a fresh general-purpose deposit.

In many cases the product is really asking for one specific settlement rail needed to clear an older fee obligation.
