# Deposit for Hyperliquid

> Get money onto Hyperliquid in one of two easy ways, check that it landed, and take it back out again later, without losing a transfer to the wrong network.

Hyperliquid is its own chain, and the only door in is **USDC on Arbitrum**. Not USDT, not USDC.e, not USDC on another network. Once your USDC is on Arbitrum, getting it onto Hyperliquid is one confirmed step, and the same balance then covers perps, spot, stock perps and outcome markets.

Step one of the easy route: the EVM tab, sending on Arbitrum

## Pick your route

> [tab] Through your OpenFinance wallet (easiest)
>
> **1. Send USDC on Arbitrum to your wallet**
>
> Open the Deposit sheet, stay on the **EVM** tab, and send USDC on **Arbitrum** to your address.
>
> **2. Move it onto Hyperliquid**
>
> Ask the agent:
>
> ```text theme={"system"}
> Deposit 50 USDC from my Arbitrum wallet to my Hyperliquid account. Show me the summary first.
> ```
>
> Check the summary and confirm. Your Hyperliquid balance is credited within minutes.

> [tab] Straight from an exchange
>
> **1. Get your Hyperliquid deposit address**
>
> Ask "What is my Hyperliquid deposit address, and which token and network does it accept?". The address lives on Arbitrum.
>
> **2. Send USDC on Arbitrum**
>
> From your exchange or wallet, send USDC on the **Arbitrum** network to that address. Send a small test amount first if you have never used it.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Send only USDC, and only on Arbitrum. Hyperliquid does not accept other tokens or other networks, and funds sent the wrong way cannot be recovered.

## If your USDC is somewhere else

Most people do not start with USDC on Arbitrum, and that is fine. The agent can bridge it there first, then deposit.

```text theme={"system"}
Bridge all my USDC on Base to Arbitrum, then deposit it to Hyperliquid. Show each quote first.
```

Starting from rupees? Buy USDC on Polygon with UPI, bridge it to Arbitrum, then deposit. The [funding guide](https://docs.openfinance.tech/guides/fund-each-venue.md) walks through that route step by step, and [Fund with card or bank](https://docs.openfinance.tech/markets/fund-with-card-or-bank.md) covers buying crypto in the first place.

## Check your balance

Ask "What is my Hyperliquid balance?". You get one USDC figure, because OpenFinance uses Hyperliquid's unified account, where spot and perp USDC share one pool.

![Chat reply showing a single Hyperliquid USDC balance and no open positions](https://mintcdn.com/openfinance/vddFvZTr4V6TqP3x/images/screens/hyperliquid-balance-check.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=vddFvZTr4V6TqP3x\&q=85\&s=39dfb06c0f51a6286f5f0acf48b3713b)

One USDC balance for spot and perps

## Getting money back out

Withdrawals go to Arbitrum, to the same address, and take about five minutes. Ask "Withdraw 50 USDC from Hyperliquid to Arbitrum" and confirm.
