# Add Money

> Deposit with exact token, network, and address instructions.

When you ask to add money, Machines gives you exact instructions.

## What you will receive

* deposit address
* token to send
* chain/network to use
* memo, if one is required

## Fastest CLI path

Check spending power:

```bash theme={null}
machines balance
```

Get a deposit address:

```bash theme={null}
machines deposit create --token USDC --network base --amount 25
```

Watch status:

```bash theme={null}
machines deposit watch --id <deposit-id>
```

If you want the guided version, run:

```bash theme={null}
machines
```

Then choose `balance` -> `add money`.

## Important

* Send only the exact token on the exact chain shown.
* If a memo is shown, include it exactly.
* If token or chain is wrong, funds can be lost.
* Start with a small test amount if you are unsure.

## Example prompt

"give me deposit instructions"

The response should return clear values you can copy.
