# Choose your first venue

> Choose a first trading venue by account, wallet, funding, and execution requirements.

Predictefy's data and trading onboarding are different. You can read unified live and historical
data with one Predictefy signup; you do not need an account at every venue. Trading requires the
chosen venue's own account, credentials, wallet, and funding where applicable. Predictefy does not
pool those balances.

## Pick a starting lane

| Starting point                   | Venues                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          | What this means                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Card/bank, no crypto**         | [Kalshi](/guides/trading/kalshi/), [Gemini](/guides/trading/gemini/), [Polymarket US](/guides/trading/polymarket-us/), [Novig](/guides/trading/novig/) (confirm personal API credential access first)                                                                                                                                                                                                                           | Open the venue account, complete its identity checks, create any required API credential, and fund a venue-custodied cash balance. |
| **Crypto wallet required**       | [Polymarket](/guides/trading/polymarket/) (Polygon), [Opinion](/guides/trading/opinion/), [Predict.fun](/guides/trading/predict-fun/), and [Myriad](/guides/trading/myriad/) (BNB Chain); [XO](/guides/trading/xo/) (chain 3223); [Rain](/guides/trading/rain/) (Arbitrum); [Limitless](/guides/trading/limitless/) (Base); [Hyperliquid](/guides/trading/hyperliquid/) (Hypercore); [Pascal](/guides/trading/pascal/) (Solana) | Create and fund a wallet on the exact chain with the exact collateral named in that guide. Some lanes also require venue credentials or account provisioning.                                             |
| **Data-only today (hosted API)** | [Smarkets](/guides/trading/smarkets/) requires venue API-user approval and has a venue-direct SDK only; [PRED](/guides/trading/pred/) is darked by the venue's caller-key model; [SX Bet](/guides/trading/sxbet/) is client-signed through the venue-direct SDK only, with no hosted lane by custody design.                                                                                                                    | Do not expect these venues in `GET /v1/exec/venues`. The Smarkets and SX Bet guides document their separate client-side integrations; PRED must not be funded for hosted submit while darked.             |

[PredictStreet](/guides/trading/predictstreet/) needs both a venue account and an ADI Chain wallet
and vault, so it does not fit the simple card-only or wallet-only split.

If this is your first trade anywhere, start with a card/bank venue. The account and KYC step can
take longer than the trade itself, but you avoid choosing a chain, bridging collateral, and holding
gas. Check the venue guide before depositing because account eligibility and execution availability
can differ.

If you choose a wallet venue, first create a wallet for the named chain and secure its seed phrase
offline. Never paste the seed phrase or private key into Predictefy: Predictefy never sees that key.
Fund only a small first trade and any gas asset that the venue guide explicitly requires. When
funds must cross chains, use `GET /v1/bridge/quote` as the assisted route where the venue guide says
a bridge is available.
