Your Butter account

A Butter smart account is created the first time you connect a Web3 wallet. No email, no passwords—your wallet is the key.


Why we use smart accounts

  • Gas‑friendly – We can sponsor gas fees so you can trade even with 0 ETH in your wallet.

  • Flexible – Future upgrades (e.g. social recovery) arrive automatically; you do nothing.

  • Battle‑tested – Built on the same open‑source contracts used by the wider prediction‑market ecosystem.


How it works for you

  1. Connect wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Ledger, …).

  2. We deploy a small contract that acts as your wallet on Butter—paid by us.

  3. Trade, deposit, withdraw just as you would with a normal wallet. Your external wallet signs every action.

That’s it. No separate login, no extra keys to back up.


Managing funds

  • Deposit – Send supported tokens (USDC) to the address shown in the UI.

  • Withdraw – Click Transfer and sign the prompt; the contract moves the tokens out.

  • Gas – Most actions are covered; if a trade exceeds the free quota we’ll show the required gas before you confirm.


FAQ

What happens if I disconnect the site in MetaMask? Nothing breaks—you’ll just need to reconnect to trade again.

Can I lose access if I lose my wallet? Yes, control follows your wallet. We’re working on optional guardian‑based recovery.

Where can I see the contract? Click View on Explorer in the app to open your smart account on Etherscan.
