The Talent Protocol platform is built on the Celo and Polygon blockchain, which means transaction fees (gas) are paid in their respective coin (CELO and MATIC) (the network's cryptocurrency, just like ETH is Ethereum's coin).

It also means that we're using Celo's stablecoin - cUSD - or Celo Dollars and USDC on Polygon, to buy Talent Tokens at a fixed price. On “Season 3” all Talent Tokens cost $0.01 cUSD

You will need both CELO/MATIC and cUSD/USDC to use Talent Protocol.

Next, you'll need to top up your wallet with cUSD/USDC to buy Talent Tokens.

<aside> 📌 This page explains 3 different options to transfer cUSD to your wallet.

Option 1: Using your Credit Card
