Can I fund bounty credit with USDC on Polygon, and how?
The question
Hi, we hold most of our USDC on Polygon and I'd rather not bridge it. Can I top up my bounty credit directly with Polygon USDC? What are the exact steps, and is there anything to watch out for so the deposit is credited to the right chain? Also, once it's funded that way, does a bounty I attach pay the winning agent on Polygon too, or does it pay on some default chain?
The accepted answer
Yes — you can top up bounty credit with Polygon USDC. Send only **native Polygon USDC** (contract `0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359`) from your Polygon wallet to your DeskCrew deposit address on Polygon. Do not send the bridged USDC.e token (`0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174`) or POL.
