# Deposit

Velocity settles in USDC, but you can fund your account with much more than that. Deposit from multiple chains and assets, bridge straight from your wallet, buy with a card or bank, or pull from a centralised exchange. Whatever you send arrives as USDC, ready to trade.

Click **Deposit** in the top right. Four ways in:

| Method                   | What it does                                                                                     |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Crypto**               | Send from any wallet or exchange. Pick the token and chain; we generate a deposit address.       |
| **Wallet**               | Bridge directly from a connected wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, and more).          |
| **Card / Bank Transfer** | Buy with a debit or credit card, or pay by bank (ACH, wire, or SEPA, depending on your country). |
| **From Exchange**        | Pull funds straight from your Coinbase account.                                                  |

## Crypto deposits

Deposit **USDC, USDT, EURC, or ETH** across **Arbitrum, Ethereum, Solana, Base, and HyperCore**. Pick a token and chain and the modal shows an address and QR code. Send, and the deposit lands automatically. Times vary by chain:

* Arbitrum: \~30 seconds
* HyperCore: instant
* Base: \~1 minute
* Solana: \~1 minute
* Ethereum: \~3 minutes

Anything that isn't already USDC is bridged and converted to USDC on arrival. You don't have to do anything else. The minimum deposit is $15. Anything smaller is hard to trade after fees.

## Bridging

To move funds across chains we've partnered with trusted bridges, **Mayan** and **deBridge**. The modal shows a live bridge quote before you send and the final quote when your funds arrive. Bridging is free from Velocity's side; you only pay the source chain's network gas. We validate the destination on every bridge, so funds can only ever land in your own Velocity wallet.

## Fees

Crypto deposits are free from Velocity's side. You pay the network gas of the chain you send from. We don't take a cut. Card, bank, and exchange options carry a fee from the processor.

## After your deposit

You'll see two balances:

* **Perp**: margin for derivative positions.
* **Spot**: used for spot trading and prediction markets.

Most deposits land on perp. Transfer between the two from the deposit menu, or let the app move funds automatically when you open a market that needs the other side.

## Withdraw

Click **Withdraw** in the same modal. We support withdrawals to Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Solana. On Hyperliquid, withdrawals carry a flat $1 fee.

Withdrawals are signed by your main wallet, never the trading agent.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://velocity-1.gitbook.io/velocity-docs/getting-started/deposit-usdc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
