h) Complete TAG Brokerage KYC (TAG Portal)

- if you are planning to use a US based ID for KYC then select Paraguay as your

country/location in the drop down menu for BOTH platforms (you can upload a US license for now + then reupload a PALAU ID when you get one here), otherwise select the country you are located in

- complete face & ID scan

A video of all the above steps is here.

i) Deposit funds to main wallet (see video below)

- crypto no fees, conventional 6% fee (if US based, probably no link to banking given

jurisdiction. In general, many cards flag this so fraud alert confirmations are expected, and

rarely / worst case, blocks altogether due to policy friction)

- accepted crypto for deposits include: BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, USDC (ETH), USDT (ETH, BSC, TRX)

Do not buy anything inside tag yet… Just deposit the $10 ($20 if you want two 24x accounts so you can use one to recompound gains)

j) Reach out to Kat inside our private telegram group here and to setup your SONIC 24X (amplified account)- funds should now be showing in the main wallet (balance at the top right of the screen). Have a minimum of $10, recommended minimum $20.

k) Order RNS ID (US only)

- order this digital residency and update KYC inside your portal once you have the physical card

There are various crypto exchanges you can use to purchase crypto and send to tag. There are many reasons to utilize crypto as well. It is the new financial system. You save on bank fees. You can off board to crypto rather than your bank and save fees that way as well. Crypto allows you to become your own bank (if you are utilizing warm or cold wallets and NOT centralized exchanges to hold your money) which means you always have access to your funds.

For our purposes here you will only be utilizing crypto as an intermediary - to bring money in and send to tag. Crypto requires education and self responsibility.

KRAKEN

Easiest and cheapest way is to set up a kraken account and wire funds from your bank.

Join Kraken through this link.

Complete KYC (Know Your Client) verification before you send money.

Once you have your account verified you can begin with the wire (must be a domestic wire not ACH transfer)

To perform a wire deposit on Kraken, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Kraken account.

2. Navigate to the Deposit section via the Transfer tab or the left sidebar.

3. Select your currency (e.g., USD, EUR) for deposit.

4. Choose Manual bank transfer as your deposit method.

5. Copy Kraken's bank details provided for the transfer.

6. Log into your online banking or in person banking and initiate the wire transfer using the copied details.

Ensure your Kraken account is verified to be eligible for wire deposits.

After that you will convert the money you sent to USDC (stablecoin) and use that to deposit to TAG.

Once inside TAG you can send $10-$20 initially to test. Click DEPOSIT on top right type Other Amount $10. Click crypto and submit. Scroll down to USDC (or if you have another crypto such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, select that) and you will get a temporary wallet address. See video above on depositing via crypto because you want to ensure you do this step correctly to avoid losing your funds.

Head into your crypto wallet or exchange, such as Kraken, copy the address TAG gave you and send the right crypto you chose to your TAG wallet. Then copy the exact crypto amount that is displayed with your temporary wallet and paste that into the amount to send (video above).

Send your crypto and when you go into tag, the generated wallet will say "payment found" then "payment successful". Leave the screen open until it says this.

COINBASE

The other alternative is to utilize coinbase here. The most immediate route for me is to purchase crypto using PayPal (which is then linked to my bank in the backbend). The daily limits are lower but is often available immediately to send (confirm this before purchase - should say available to send and transfer instantly). It is a great option if you can't get to your bank to do a wire.

If you are bringing in more than a $1000 it is worth it to get a coinbase one $30 monthly account as you can purchase $10k fee free per month. Simply cancel the subscription when you are done onboarding money.

If you are purchasing USDC you just need to ensure you have a bit of Ethereum to pay for the transaction fee upon send.

WARM WALLETS

For added security I recommend getting a warm wallet such as https://metamask.io/ This one holds Ethereum/USDC and bitcoin along with others. This is to ensure centralized exchanges don’t freeze your funds as they are becoming more strict.

You will basically send your crypto to metamask first and then to tag. This ensures the centralized exchange doesn’t flag your send to another exchange such as tag, just like in the above video.

If you just are using ETHEREUM and USDC then you can use rabby wallet here https://rabby.io

You just have to ensure you have a bit of Ethereum inside Rabby to send USDC.
