Deposits
Deposits bring USDC into your own Hyperliquid account on whale.ag, in a single move, from almost any chain you already hold on. You start with the funds where they are, sign once, and they land in your Hyperliquid trading balance ready to trade or deploy. Because the account is yours, the USDC never passes through a whale.ag wallet — it arrives directly under your keys, and only you can move it.
Where you can fund from
You are not locked to one chain. USDC on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, or Polygon is brought over for you in one transaction, with no manual bridging, chain-hopping, or wrapped-token detours in between. You can also fund from Solana with a connected Solana or Phantom wallet, and buying USDC with a card is supported for people who don’t hold crypto yet. Whatever the origin, the destination is the same: your Hyperliquid trading balance.
| Origin / method | What it does |
|---|---|
Ethereum | USDC brought to your Hyperliquid balance in one transaction. |
Arbitrum | USDC brought to your Hyperliquid balance in one transaction. |
Base | USDC brought to your Hyperliquid balance in one transaction. |
Optimism | USDC brought to your Hyperliquid balance in one transaction. |
Polygon | USDC brought to your Hyperliquid balance in one transaction. |
Solana | Fund from a connected Solana or Phantom wallet. |
Card | Buy USDC with a card and have it routed into your account. |
The list of supported chains is shown live in the deposit screen, so it always reflects what is available right now.
A quote before you commit
Nothing moves until you can see exactly what will happen. Enter an amount and whale.ag returns a live quote — the amount you will receive, the fee, and an estimated time to arrive — and it updates as you change the amount, so the number in front of you is always the one you would be agreeing to. When you approve, that single wallet signature is the only one needed; whale.ag handles the routing and then polls until the funds confirm in your Hyperliquid balance. The moment they land, the new balance is immediately tradable in the terminal or deployable into a copy agent.
No minimum
There is no minimum to fund the account — deposit any amount you like. The live quote is the guard: it shows precisely how much you will receive after network fees before you sign, so you always know what lands, and very small amounts are simply uneconomical once bridging costs are taken out. Funding a copy-trading agent is separate and does carry a $250 minimum — see Copy Trading.
