Using PoolTogether via Coinbase App
Saving with PoolTogether is featured in the Coinbase App
Coinbase makes it easy to buy assets with fiat and access Decentralized Finance all within one mobile app. If you haven’t already, you can download the Coinbase app here: Apple⎟Android
Activating your dApp Wallet
Before using it for the first time, you’ll need to activate your dApp wallet in order to interact with DeFi applications. But no worries — that’s 2 clicks!
Open the Browser on the bottom menu of your screen
A pop-up will appear introducing the dApp browser
Select Continue, review the terms, and select "Agree and get started"
Funding your dApp wallet
To fund your dApp wallet from your existing Coinbase account, open the Assets page at the bottom menu of the Coinbase app.
Click on the wallets tab at the top of the app and select your dApp wallet

Review the details and select Transfer now
Follow this link for a more detailed guide in the Coinbase Help Center.
Getting USDC
In order to use PoolTogether, you need USDC (and a little bit of ETH for the transaction fees). Coinbase allows you to get both without additional fees and deposit directly into PoolTogether without even leaving the app.
Head to Trade at the bottom of your screen & select USDC
Enter the USDC amount, choose your payment method and tap on Preview buy
Validate your purchase and tap on Buy now
Reminder: Apart from USDC you will need a bit of ETH to cover the transaction fees on the Ethereum network.
Depositing into PoolTogether via Coinbase
Open the Coinbase dApp browser located at the bottom right of your app and find PoolTogether on the Earn tab or by using the search.
From here, making a deposit only takes three simple steps:
Enter the deposit amount & tap on Review
Approve the USDC tokens
Confirm your deposit
Now you’re all set for saving and winning prizes. Prize draws happen daily and you can come back whenever you want to check for prizes.
You stay eligible to win as long as you are deposited. If you ever want to stop saving with PoolTogether you can withdraw your USDC and all accrued prizes from the account tab in the app.
Limitations
This feature has been rolled out in >90 countries. EU & UK users still have to be patient a little longer.
This is currently only available for Ethereum so it makes sense for larger depositors. We anticipate it will be available for other networks very soon.
