#### Preparation

* Hyperliquid deposits natively support USDC on the Arbitrum (ARB) network.
* Please ensure your wallet has a small amount of Arbitrum ETH to cover Gas fees (network transaction fees).

#### Scenario 1: If You Already Have Assets in Your Hyperliquid Account

If you are an existing Hyperliquid user with funds already in your account:

* Operation Path: Connect your wallet to HyperAlpha ➡️ Click \[Import API Key] ➡️ Click \[Generate API Key] and complete the wallet signature authorization.

#### Scenario 2: Direct Deposit (Already Have USDC on Arbitrum)

1. Go to the [HyperAlpha Trade](https://app.hyperalpha.org/trade) page and scroll down to the asset management section.
2. Click the \[Deposit] button.

3. Enter the amount of USDC you wish to deposit, then click submit.
4. Click \[Confirm] in your wallet's pop-up window and wait for the blockchain transaction to succeed.

#### Scenario 3: Smart Cross-Chain Deposit (Holding Assets on Other Chains)

If you hold assets on other networks (such as Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, etc.), you can use our built-in smart cross-chain bridge to swap them instantly without using a third-party exchange.

1. Access the Bridge: Click \[Deposit] ➡️ Click \[Bridge].

2. Asset Scanning: Wait for the bridge to automatically scan and identify the available assets across different chains in your current wallet.
3. Select & Configure: Choose the asset you wish to swap and set the allocation percentage (e.g., 25%, 50%, or 100%).
4. Confirm Bridge: The target asset will automatically lock to Arbitrum USDC. Click \[Bridge] and complete the wallet signature authorization.
5. Final Deposit: Wait a few minutes for the cross-chain swap to complete. Then, follow \[Scenario 2] to deposit your USDC into your account and start trading.
