# Onboarding & Deposits

Getting started takes two things: a wallet and some USDC. HyprEarn is fully non-custodial, so your funds stay under your control at all times.

### What you need

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="A wallet" %}
Your wallet is your onchain identity and where your funds live. We recommend MetaMask for the smoothest experience, though any supported wallet works.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="USDC for collateral" %}
HyprEarn trades with USDC as collateral. Bring USDC you already hold, or convert other assets during the deposit flow. HyprEarn handles the routing for you (see Bridging, below).
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Connect and fund your account

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### **Connect your wallet**

Go to app.hyprearn.com, click **Connect Wallet**, choose your wallet and sign the request.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Pick a venue**

Use the network selector in the top navigation to choose where you want to trade: Hyperliquid, Lighter (Ethereum), Lighter on Robinhood, Pacifica, Nado, Avantis or Paradex. Each is a separate venue with its own markets and fee schedule.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Deposit**

Open the **Deposit** flow and move USDC into your chosen venue, directly from HyprEarn. There's no need to visit each exchange separately to fund it.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can switch venues at any time from the network selector and fund each one independently.
{% endhint %}

### Deposit directly to any exchange

HyprEarn connects to seven venues across different chains and you can deposit to any of them **directly from inside HyprEarn**. Instead of going to each DEX, funding it and managing balances venue-by-venue, you choose your venue in HyprEarn and deposit in one place.

### Bridging is handled for you

Because these venues live on different chains, funding them would normally mean bridging assets yourself. HyprEarn **takes care of bridging as part of the deposit flow.** When your funds need to reach the chain a venue runs on, the routing happens behind the scenes. You fund and trade without manually using a separate bridge.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Network gas may apply on the source chain when bridging or depositing. Exact costs depend on the venue and its underlying chain.
{% endhint %}

### Withdrawing

You can withdraw your funds directly from the respective DEX frontends.

### Enable trading

Before placing your first order, you need to enable trading once. This is a quick, one-time setup.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click any setup

{% hint style="info" %}
**What this does behind the scenes**

It creates an API wallet on Hyperliquid, which lets HyprEarn execute your orders securely through Hyperliquid's own infrastructure. You can review yours at [app.hyperliquid.xyz/API](https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/API).
{% endhint %}
