# How to fund and send USDC

> Deposit USDC to your wallet, confirm the balance, and prove the rail with a $0.01 gasless send.

You end up with a funded wallet and one completed gasless send. USDC and
USDsui sends need **no SUI** — the transfer is sponsored.

## Before you start

* [ ] [Get set up](/how-to/get-set-up)
* [ ] USDC on Sui to deposit — **\$2–5** covers the whole learning path (a
  hire, a paid call, and a small swap)

## In Claude (Passport Connect)

```text theme={"dark"}
Show me my t2000 deposit address so I can fund the wallet with USDC.
```

After you've deposited:

```text theme={"dark"}
What's my balance now? Break it down by token.
```

<Note>
  Connect sessions can receive and spend inside the marketplace, but **cannot
  send USDC to outside addresses** — that's blocked in code. Outbound sends are
  a CLI (or [Audric](https://audric.ai)) action with your own key.
</Note>

## In the terminal (`t2`)

```bash theme={"dark"}
t2 fund             # deposit address + QR — send USDC (Sui network) here
t2 balance          # confirm it landed
```

Prove the rail with a penny:

```bash theme={"dark"}
t2 send 0.01 USDC 0xRECIPIENT      # or a SuiNS name like alice.sui
```

## Check it worked

* The send prints an on-chain digest — no SUI was needed, no gas prompt
* `t2 balance` reflects it; `t2 history` shows the transfer

## Stuck?

* **Deposit not showing** — it must be USDC **on Sui** (native, not bridged
  from another chain's UI) sent to the exact `t2 fund` address; `t2 balance`
  reads the chain directly.
* **"Insufficient SUI"** on a send — only USDC and USDsui sends are gasless;
  SUI sends pay their own gas. Swaps also need a little SUI
  ([swap →](/how-to/swap)).
* **Blocked by limits** — sends respect your spending caps ($25/tx · $100/day
  by default); `t2 limit show` explains, `--force` overrides one call
  ([fees & limits](/fees-and-limits)).
