# Deposit from external wallet

All currently supported assets (excluding MAG7.ssi and sMAG7.ssi) can be seamlessly deposited into SoDEX from their respective native chains using the Regular Deposit mechanism.

## **Deposit Procedure**

5. Funds will be **minted as an equivalent quantity of ValueChain tokens and deposited** into your **SoDEX** Spot Account after a brief processing period, typically within approx **2 minutes**.
6. For example, a deposit of **1 BTC** triggers the **Mirror Protocol** to mint and deposit **1 vBTC** (the **ValueChain** token equivalent) into your Spot Account.
7. This asset tokenization and deposit service is powered by the **Mirror Protocol**, an independent third-party provide
8. Pending deposits will be visible once they are reflected via the **Mirror Protocol**. You can monitor the status of all your transactions under the '**Deposits & Withdrawals**' section.

## **Important Notes**

* **Deposit Address Protocols & Network Risk:**
  * **EVM Address Uniformity:** The deposit address provided is consistent (identical) for all **EVM-compatible chain assets**. For instance, deposits of **ETH** from the Ethereum Mainnet, **ETH** from the Base chain, or other ERC-20 tokens will all utilize the identical address.
  * **Non-EVM Assets (e.g., BTC):** Assets on non-EVM chains (such as **BTC**) will use their **native network address**, which is distinct from the EVM address.
  * **Irreversible Loss Warning:** It remains **critical** that you only send supported tokens from supported networks. Submitting funds from an incorrect, unsupported network or sending non-matching, unsupported tokens will result in the permanent and irreversible loss of assets.
* **Minimum Threshold:** Each token is subject to a **minimum deposit requirement**. Any deposit falling below this minimum threshold will result in the loss of those funds. Please consult the [detailed configuration page](/user-guide/deposit-and-withdrawal-guidance/deposit-and-withdrawal-configuration.md) for precise specifications.
* **Compliance and Tainted Assets (KYT):** Should your deposit address receive funds identified as tainted or associated with illicit activity (e.g., following KYT screening), those specific assets will be rejected and automatically returned to the source address.
