Deposits & Withdrawals
Deposits & Withdrawals
Your perps account is funded in USDC. Three rails are supported in both directions.
Deposits
The first-ever credit to a new wallet incurs Hyperliquid’s one-time $1 USDC account activation fee. Every subsequent deposit is free. Make your first deposit comfortably above $1 — a 1 USDC first deposit would be consumed by the activation fee.
Email / embedded-wallet accounts
If you signed in with email (embedded wallet), deposits are supported from Arbitrum with the same 5 USDC minimum; the one-time $1 setup fee applies to the first deposit.
Withdrawals
Email/embedded-wallet users withdraw to Arbitrum.
The withdrawal review process
Every withdrawal passes through a 2-of-4 multi-signature review queue before funds leave platform custody. Independent signers (automated risk checks plus operations) verify the request against your ledger balance.
- The review is automated policy verification, not manual discretion.
- Withdrawals are processed continuously; the review adds a short delay before funds leave custody.
- A rejection is terminal and the withdrawal is refunded in full to your account balance — funds are never stranded mid-flight.
This review step is one of the custody safeguards described in Transparency & Security.
Tracking transfers
All deposits and withdrawals appear with live status in Portfolio → Deposit & Withdraw, alongside your positions, orders, and funding history.
