FAQ
- Do I need a crypto wallet to use PolyGram?
- Not at all. PolyGram provisions and oversees a custodial wallet on your behalf. Power users may link their own external wallet, though this remains entirely optional.
- Is there an age requirement?
- Traders must be at least 18 years old on PolyGram, matching the standard across most investment platforms.
- What happens if I lose my Telegram account?
- Reach out to PolyGram support and complete identity verification to regain access to your account. Your USDC holdings stay protected on the blockchain.
