External Wallet to My Shiga Wallet (Swap)

This Move Money path covers bringing crypto into your Shiga wallet directly from an external wallet — like MetaMask — by connecting it rather than typing in an address.

---

​

1. Open your home screen and tap Move Money

Every Move Money flow starts here, on your Enta home screen — tap Move Money to begin.

​

2. Choose External wallet as the source

Tapping Move Money opens a panel titled “Move money” — “Send, receive, or swap assets”. The From field asks where the money’s coming from: Shiga wallet (“Choose from BTC, USDT”), External wallet (“Connect MetaMask or other wallets”), or Bank account (“Transfer from NGN, EUR, or GBP”). Pick External wallet.

​

3. Choose Shiga wallet as the destination

With External wallet set as From, the To field shows: Shiga wallet (“Receive as BTC, USDT”), External address (“Send to any wallet address”), or Bank account (“Cash out to NGN, EUR, or GBP”). Picking Shiga wallet is what puts you on the deposit path this guide covers. Once both fields are set, tap Get started.

​

4. Choose how you want to deposit

You land on a Deposit crypto screen — “Receive cryptocurrency from external source”. From here there are two ways in:

• Tap the Asset selector to get a wallet address (and QR code) to send crypto to manually from any external wallet or exchange.
• Tap Or Connect External wallet to link a wallet like MetaMask directly and send from it inside Enta — this is the path this guide covers.

​

5. Connect your external wallet

Tapping Or Connect External wallet opens a swap-style screen: a Send card with a Connect External Wallet button and a Receive card already showing Shiga wallet as the destination (e.g. “USDC on Base”, “Auto-swaps to USDT”). Both Amount fields stay disabled — hovering shows “Connect your wallet first to enter an amount” — until a wallet is linked. Tapping Connect External Wallet opens your wallet provider’s own connection prompt (e.g. MetaMask).

​

6. Pick the asset to send and enter an amount

Once connected, tap the Send card to open a token picker showing every asset in your connected wallet with its balance per network (e.g. USDT or USDC, each with balances across Solana, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Polygon). Pick what you want to send, then type an Amount — the Receive card calculates automatically at the live rate (e.g. sending $10 USDT (Base) computes to roughly 9.95 USDC (Base) on the receiving side, which then auto-swaps into your Shiga wallet balance).

​

7. Review before you confirm

The Review screen shows your deposit as a single summary — for example, $10 USDT (Base) →$9.96 USDC (Base) — along with Type: Swap, Estimated time: ~30s, From (your connected wallet, address truncated), and To (You, your Shiga wallet address, truncated). A note underneath explains that USDC arriving this way is automatically swapped to USDT at a 1:1 rate and deposited into your USDT wallet. Tap Back to change anything, or Confirm Deposit to continue.

​

8. Authorize the transaction

As with the rest of Move Money, authorization is done with your device’s passkey — Face ID, Touch ID, or your device’s biometric/PIN unlock. There’s no code to type in; the native prompt appears on top of the review screen, and confirming it submits the deposit.

​

9. Processing and confirmation

Once you authorize, a loading screen reads “Processing your transaction…” with your deposit summary still visible underneath. When it’s done, you’ll land on a confirmation screen showing the same summary, with Make another transaction or Go to Dashboard to finish up.
