Deposit

Your money goes from your own wallet straight to the venue. Prow never holds it. Tap Deposit: on a computer it sits at the top right of every page, next to the bell; on a phone it runs across Portfolio, under your total. With more than one venue connected, Deposit asks where to: pick the venue under To. Each row shows what that account holds now.

Deposit to Hyperliquid

Prow sends USDC from Arbitrum to your Hyperliquid perps balance with Circle CCTP, the official USDC bridge.

Before you start

• The wallet that owns the Hyperliquid account. Funds can only come from it.
• USDC on Arbitrum. Other networks will not arrive.
• A little ETH on Arbitrum to pay network fees. About $1 is enough.

Step by step

1. Open Deposit

   Tap Deposit and pick Hyperliquid under To. The form takes USDC on Arbitrum only.

2. Check the From wallet

   From shows the wallet, the network and its USDC balance (on a phone, under Details). If the wallet is not connected, the main button reads Connect wallet: connect the wallet that owns this Hyperliquid account.

3. Enter the amount

   The minimum is 5 USDC. The summary shows the Bridge fee, what You receive and Arrives in about 1 minute. On a phone it sits behind Details. Network fees are paid in ETH on Arbitrum.

4. Sign, then confirm

   Tap the button, for example Deposit 500 USDC. Your wallet asks you to sign 1 message (it lets the bridge move this exact amount of USDC) and then confirm 1 transaction (it sends the USDC). The button reads Sign in your wallet, then Confirm in your wallet.

5. Watch it arrive

   The dialog switches to Deposit in progress. You can close it: the deposit keeps going, and its tracker shows on Portfolio, under Needs attention. When the money lands the dialog reads Deposit complete with the amount added to Hyperliquid, and offers Done and Trade.

Track your deposit

The tracker shows four steps:

1. Sent from your wallet.
2. Confirming on Arbitrum: waiting for Arbitrum to confirm it.
3. Bridging with Circle CCTP: Fast Transfer, usually under a minute.
4. Credited on Hyperliquid: it shows up in available margin automatically.

When the money lands, a Deposit arrived message shows on whatever page you are on, with a Trade button. It appears while Prow is open on this device and is not sent to the bell or as a push. No Hyperliquid account? This first deposit opens it, usually 1 to 3 minutes after the deposit lands. While it is on its way, View in History opens it in Portfolio's History tab, under Transfers.

The deposit lands in your perps balance. On a unified account it is part of the one shared balance.

Common errors

• Minimum deposit is 5 USDC: Hyperliquid does not credit smaller amounts.
• Only $X in this wallet: lower the amount or top up the wallet.
• Add a little ETH on Arbitrum to pay network fees: send some ETH to the same wallet.
• Amount doesn't cover the bridge fee: enter a larger amount.
• Signature rejected in your wallet. Nothing was sent.: you declined in the wallet. Try again when ready.
• Failed on the deposit card: the transaction reverted and no USDC left your wallet. Tap Try again to open Deposit with the same amount, or Dismiss.

Using the Prow wallet

If you signed in with email, Google or Apple, your Hyperliquid account may be owned by the Prow wallet. It starts empty.

When it has no USDC or no ETH, the Deposit dialog shows Fund your Prow wallet first with what to send, for example "Send USDC on Arbitrum and about $1 of ETH to pay network fees."

1. Copy the address or show the QR

   Tap the copy button, or QR to show a code you can scan from an exchange or another wallet.

2. Send on Arbitrum

   In the sending app, pick Arbitrum as the network. Other networks will not arrive.

3. Tap I've sent it

   Prow checks the balance again. Once the funds land, the amount form appears.

You can also open the address any time: Settings > Account > Prow wallet > Receive.

See Prow wallet for backup and recovery.

Deposit to Aster

Aster deposits happen on asterdex.com. Prow shows which wallet to use and links you there.

If the Prow wallet is your only wallet, it can't be used there: the Aster part of Deposit says A Prow wallet can't fund Aster. and shows two choices instead of the steps below, with no Send to an address switch:

• Trade on Hyperliquid: USDC and about $1 of ETH on Arbitrum. Add Hyperliquid opens its connect dialog, or Deposit to Hyperliquid when an account is linked.
• Bet on Predictions: USDT or USDC from many networks, from $2. Add money to Predictions opens your Polymarket account in Deposit, to connect it and get its deposit address. Prow shows this only where Polymarket takes bets from your country.

To use Aster, link a wallet app first and deposit with it. See Choose a wallet.

1. Open Deposit and pick Aster

   Tap Deposit, then Aster under To. Deposit to Aster shows From with your linked wallet. Aster credits the wallet that deposits, so use that one.

2. Tap Open asterdex.com

   Connect the same wallet on asterdex.com. Pick the chain and token, and deposit to your Futures account. asterdex.com does the rest.

3. Come back to Prow

   Your balance shows on Portfolio a few minutes after the deposit lands.

Supported chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain and Arbitrum. Deposit any token Aster supports on that chain (USDT, USDC, BNB…) to your Futures account.

Moving money between venues

Each venue holds its own balance, and Hyperliquid, Aster and Lighter settle separately. To move money between venues, withdraw from one and deposit to the other.

Deposit to Lighter

Pick Lighter under To: Deposit to Lighter shows your wallet and Open app.lighter.xyz. Deposits are made on Lighter with the wallet that owns the account. Your first deposit (at least $5) opens the account, and you can send it from Prow while you connect. See Connect Lighter.
