The transaction will now be processed. Funds should arrive in your Timeless X wallet shortly after the transaction is confirmed. Remember, transaction times can vary based on network congestion and gas fees. It's always good to check for any transaction fees or additional details before confirming the send action.

## Fund your smart wallet from an exchange

{% hint style="info" %}
As long as your centralized exchange (e.g. Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, MEXC) supports the networks (Ethereum, Base, Linea, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB Chain) supported by Timeless X, you can send funds to your smart wallet.
{% endhint %}

1. Open Timeless X, then tap on the small profile icon at the top right corner of the screen.
2. On the pop-up, make sure your preferred is selected under “**Your Account**”.
3. Tap on your smart account (_the one with the AA tag_).
4. Tap the 3-dots at the top right corner of your wallet’s profile picture, then select **Copy Address**.

5. Navigate to your centralized exchange's Withdraw page:
   1. Choose the asset you want to send to your Timeless X smart account
   2. Paste the Timeless X address you copied
   3. Choose a supported network (_You're advised to send funds on a Layer2 network since your smart contract transactions will be cheaper_)
   4. Enter the amount and complete the withdrawal process

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Make sure you do not send funds directly from your smart wallet to your centralized exchange address.** Your smart wallet operates primarily as a smart contract, and any transfers to a centralized exchange are recognized as smart contract deposits. Currently, centralized exchanges do not support these types of deposits, which means your funds will not be credited to your exchange account. To withdraw funds from your smart wallet, you should first transfer them to your regular wallet within Timeless X. Subsequently, you can send them from this regular wallet to your exchange address. Follow steps 1-4 to locate your regular wallet's address. If you have already sent funds from your smart wallet to a centralized exchange and encountered issues, please refer to [**this link**](https://timelessx.gitbook.io/timeless-x/faq/linea-voyage-aa-wave/ive-sent-funds-to-an-exchange-address) for assistance in resolving the matter.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Please avoid transferring funds using the Ethereum network.** Being fundamentally a smart contract account, each interaction with your smart wallet constitutes a smart contract request. This type of transaction incurs considerably higher gas fees on the Ethereum network when compared to those on a Layer 2 network. High gas fees are a result of the more complex and resource-intensive processes required for executing smart contract requests on the Ethereum. Therefore, for more cost-efficient transactions, consider using an L2 network, which is designed to offer lower fees and faster processing times.
