Your butter account

Your Butter wallet is the onchain account that holds your collateral and positions on Unichain. When you connect an EVM wallet to Butter, the app creates a Butter wallet that is controlled by your connected wallet, and all trading activity flows through it.

How the Butter wallet works

Your connected wallet remains the key you use to approve actions such as deposits, withdrawals, and trades. The Butter wallet sits on Unichain as a dedicated account for your conditional markets activity, which keeps your trading balances and positions organised in one place.

When you trade on Butter, you:

• Hold USDC collateral in your Butter wallet.

• Use that collateral to open long and short positions in different branches.

• See your conditional USDC balances, collateral, and open positions in the app, all tied to your Butter wallet.

Butter never takes custody of your assets. Your external wallet signs every action, and the Butter wallet executes those actions on Unichain.

Managing funds

Deposits allow you to swap your connected wallet on a supported source chain into your Butter wallet on Unichain. The deposit flow in the app handles the cross‑chain transfer for USDC, so you do not need to pre‑bridge USDC to Unichain.

The Bridge to Unichain flow sends funds from a source chain into your Butter wallet as part of the deposit process.

Withdrawals move USDC from your Butter wallet back to your connected wallet on Unichain.
