# Deposits & Withdrawals

> Funding your perps account and getting your money out.

Your perps account is funded in **USDC**. Three rails are supported in both directions.

## Deposits

| Source        | How it works                                                                  | Minimum | Speed          |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | -------------- |
| **Arbitrum**  | USDC via Hyperliquid's native bridge — no token approval needed               | 5 USDC  | Under 1 minute |
| **HyperCore** | Spot transfer from your Hyperliquid account to your HyperFlow deposit address | 1 USDC  | Seconds        |
| **HyperEVM**  | On-chain transfer from your HyperEVM wallet                                   | 1 USDC  | Seconds        |

> **Note**
>
> 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

| Destination   | Fee                                             | Minimum |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| **Arbitrum**  | 0.2 USDC network fee                            | 10 USDC |
| **HyperCore** | Free                                            | 10 USDC |
| **HyperEVM**  | Network gas (previewed live before you confirm) | 10 USDC |

Email/embedded-wallet users withdraw to **Arbitrum**.

### The withdrawal review process

Every withdrawal passes through a **multi-signature review queue** before funds leave platform custody. A quorum of independent signers (automated risk checks plus operations) verifies the request against your ledger balance; no single key can release funds.

* 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](/perps/transparency).

## Tracking transfers
