# Deposit gCOTI

{% hint style="warning" %}
You will need a small amount of gCOTI for [transaction fees](https://faq.coticommunity.com/treasury/treasury-deposits/broken-reference), so you can't use 100% of your gCOTI. If your transaction can't be confirmed, try to enter a slightly smaller amount of gCOTI.\
\
You should also keep some COTI in your COTI Viper Wallet as a small amount is also needed for transaction fees.
{% endhint %}

1.) At <https://treasury.coti.io> click on "Enter Treasury", agree to the terms and conditions, select either the COTI network (for native COTI/gCOTI) or the Ethereum network (for ERC20 COTI/gCOTI)
