<mark style="color:$warning;">**Funding**</mark>

After creating your wallet, you’ll need to fund it with a **small amount of ETH** on the **Abstract network**. This is used to cover **transactions** and enable **actions** such as **staking**, **claiming** badges, or participating in future **gameplay features**.

**You can fund your wallet by:**

* **Transferring** ETH from another wallet
* **Bridging** funds from another supported network
  * Recommended Bridge <mark style="color:$warning;">**→**</mark> <a href="https://relay.link/bridge" class="button secondary" data-icon="arrows-rotate-reverse">Relay.Link</a>
