# Funding Your Prediction Account

Prediction markets on Wick are powered by **Polymarket**, which operates on **Polygon**.\
Your trading balances (Spot, Perps, HIP-3) live on **Hyperliquid Core**.

Because of this, funding prediction markets is a **two-step process**:

1. Fund your Wick trading account on Hyperliquid.
2. Transfer funds from Hyperliquid to your Prediction Markets balance inside Wick.

For additional information on account funding please see [Fund Your Account](/wick/get-started/fund-your-account.md)

***

### Step 2: Transfer Funds to Prediction Markets

After your trading account is funded, you can move funds to your prediction market balance directly inside Wick.

1. Open Wick and navigate to **Wallet homescreen**.

3. Enter the amount you would like to transfer from Trade Balance to Predict Balance

Your funds will be moved from **Trade Balance** to **Predict Balance**, where they can be used to place sports predictions.

### Important Notes

* Trading balances and prediction market balances are held on **different chains**.
* Funds must be transferred before placing predictions.
* Transfers are handled directly inside Wick.
* Wick uses safe wallets for Prediction Market trading, do NOT transfer funds directly to your Polygon address.
