Belief Systems keeps a per-investor cash balance that you draw on to mint shares in any series. Deposits land in this balance; redemption proceeds and withdrawals come out of it.Documentation Index

Think of the cash balance like a brokerage account’s settlement cash. It’s platform-wide — once
funded, you can deploy it to any series, and any proceeds flow back to the same balance.
Depositing
The supported deposit path is USDC from an Ethereum mainnet wallet. You enter the amount in your portfolio, sign two transactions in your wallet, and the funds land in your cash balance — typically in 30–60 minutes.Enter an amount
Open the deposit panel and enter the dollar amount you want to deposit. The receipt card shows
you exactly what to expect: the amount, your sending wallet, the estimated time, the number of
wallet approvals (2), and that Ethereum gas is the only network fee.
Approve USDC
Your wallet asks you to approve USDC for the deposit. This is a one-time approval per wallet —
future deposits skip this step.
Submit the deposit
Sign the second transaction. Once it confirms on Ethereum, the funds are en route to your Belief
Systems account.
What you’ll see on the receipt card
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Amount | The dollar amount you entered |

| Estimated time | 30–60 minutes |
| Wallet approvals | 2 (one-time approval, then the deposit) |
| Network fees | Ethereum gas only, paid by you |
What's happening during the 30–60 minute wait?
What's happening during the 30–60 minute wait?
Your USDC moves from Ethereum mainnet to our settlement network on Polygon through the Polygon PoS
bridge — public infrastructure built and operated by Polygon Labs, used by hundreds of
institutions and audited extensively. Once the bridge finalizes (typically 30–60 minutes), the
USDC is automatically converted into pUSD (the dollar-pegged stablecoin used inside our custody)
and credited to your cash balance. You don’t need to take any action during the wait — the deposit
panel updates when funds arrive.

How to Withdraw
Request withdrawal
Specify the dollar amount you wish to withdraw from your cash balance. Funds are sent to your
wallet.
Processing
Withdrawal requests are reviewed and processed by the operations team. This is not instant
— every withdrawal goes through admin approval and a mandatory security cooldown before
execution. See Asset Security for the full safeguard sequence.
Withdrawal Properties
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Destination | Your wallet |
| Processing time | Variable — not instant; includes admin review and a mandatory 15-minute cooldown |
| Available balance | Only the unlocked portion of your cash balance can be withdrawn |
| Restrictions | Funds locked in pending orders are not available for withdrawal |
What Cannot Be Withdrawn
- Funds locked in pending mint orders — These are reserved until the order is processed or cancelled
- Shares — Shares must first be redeemed at a NAV window; the resulting proceeds can then be withdrawn
- More than your available balance — The system enforces that withdrawal requests do not exceed the unlocked portion of your cash balance
Important Considerations
This is not a bank account
This is not a bank account
Your cash balance is held in custody controlled by Belief Systems. It is not a bank deposit. There is no FDIC insurance, SIPC protection, or any equivalent deposit guarantee. The safety of your funds depends on the operational integrity of the custody infrastructure.
Withdrawal timing is not guaranteed
Withdrawal timing is not guaranteed
Unlike decentralized exchanges where you can withdraw instantly from your own wallet, Belief
Systems processes withdrawals through a managed custody model with human approval and mandatory
cooldown periods. This adds security but introduces processing time.
Funds in pending orders are locked
Funds in pending orders are locked
If you have an outstanding mint order, those funds are locked until the order is filled, partially filled, or cancelled. You can cancel a pending order to unlock your funds before the next NAV window processes.
