{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that you can deposit tokens from a **different** wallet from your "trading wallet". The wallet you first connect with is your "trading wallet". After connecting, you will be presented with [various deposit methods](https://guide.dem.exchange/welcome/getting-started/depositing) for transferring funds into your trading wallet in your account deposit page.
