Your wallet

Your wallet is your own non-custodial Solana wallet. You hold the USDC, and nobody but you can move it.

kapiche sets up an embedded wallet for you via Privy, so there is nothing to install. It is yours: you hold the funds, you control the keys, and kapiche only ever reads your balance to confirm you can cover a position. It never moves your money.

Only you can move your funds

kapiche is non-custodial. It does not hold, escrow, or transfer your USDC, and it takes no cut of any pot. Reading your balance is the only thing kapiche does with your wallet. See Security & non-custodial.

Adding funds

Fund your wallet with your own USDC on Solana. Once it lands, your balance is ready for real-money pots. There is nothing to top up for the free points game: points pots never touch your wallet.

Covering your commitments

Before you join a real-money pot, kapiche checks, read-only, that your wallet can cover everything you are already on the hook for, your open real-money stakes and any debt you still owe, plus the new stake. If it cannot, you are asked to add funds first, so you never commit to more than you can actually settle.

Read-only, never a hold

This coverage check only reads your public balance. It never locks, reserves, or moves your USDC: your funds stay entirely in your control.

Withdrawing

Because the wallet is yours, your USDC is always yours to take. Withdraw moves funds out to another Solana address whenever you want. There is no cash out and no platform approval: it is your money leaving your wallet on your say-so.

Why we say withdraw, not cash out

Points can never be cashed out. Real USDC is yours and can always be withdrawn. Keeping the words separate keeps the two clearly distinct.

What kapiche can and cannot do

Can: read your USDC balance to confirm you can cover a position.
Cannot: hold, move, escrow, or withdraw your funds. Only you can.

FAQ

Do I need to install a wallet app?

No. Your wallet is embedded via Privy and set up for you. You can fund it and withdraw from it directly.

Why was I asked to add funds before joining?

Real-money joins require your wallet to cover your open commitments plus the new stake. If your balance is short, you are prompted to add funds. It is a read-only check; kapiche never holds or moves your USDC.

What do I need a funded wallet for?

To join real-money pots with friends. Free points pots never touch your wallet.
