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
Connect wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Ledger, …).
We deploy a small contract that acts as your wallet on Butter—paid by us.
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.
