7 FAQsNo. Signing up with an email address, X or Kick creates a wallet for you automatically. If you already have your own wallet, you can link it as well.
Yes. Beyond the wallet created at sign-up, you can link external wallets to your account — some communities use them to check whether you hold a given token or NFT before unlocking their rewards.
You can send USDC directly to your Ringo wallet, bring it over from another chain, or buy it with a card inside the app.
Not Ringo. The platform is non-custodial: it never holds your funds or your private keys. When you take a position, the committed USDC is locked in a smart contract dedicated to that specific challenge, and it only moves when the outcome settles.
No. Ringo sponsors the network fees for activity inside the app, so you do not need to hold a separate token to cover gas.
Ringo charges a commission on settled challenges, taken from the pool at settlement rather than billed to you separately. Part of it funds the oracle that settles the outcome, and part goes to the market's creator and to the community the activity belongs to. Bringing funds in from another chain also carries a fee charged by the provider that moves them, shown before you confirm. The Terms of Service are the authoritative source on the current schedule.
From the app, at any time, for any balance that is not committed to an open position. Funds tied up in a position stay locked until that challenge settles.
