FAQ
- Do I need a crypto wallet to use PolyGram?
- Negative. PolyGram provisions and oversees a custodial account structure on your behalf. Experienced participants retain the option to link a personal wallet, though this remains entirely voluntary.
- Is there an age requirement?
- Participants must attain the age of 18 years or older, aligning with conventional financial services standards.
- What happens if I lose my Telegram account?
- Reach out to PolyGram's support team with appropriate identity documentation to restore account access. Your USDC assets maintain cryptographic security on the blockchain infrastructure.
