  • USDC (USD Coin)
Additional stablecoins will be added in the future.

​

  • Base
We’re planning to support additional networks soon. Stay tuned for updates.

​
Deposit Limits

  • Minimum Deposit: No minimum
  • Maximum Deposit: No maximum

​
How to Deposit

  1. Navigate to Deposit: Click “Deposit” in your Sprout dashboard
  2. Enter Amount: Specify the amount of USDC you want to deposit
  3. Review Details: Confirm the network (Base) and amount
  4. Confirm Transaction: Approve the transaction in your wallet
  5. Wait for Allocation: Your funds will be allocated to yield strategies during the next rebalancing cycle (every Friday)

​
What Happens After Deposit?

Once you deposit:
  1. Immediate: Transaction confirms on Base network
  2. Next Rebalancing Cycle: Funds are allocated across vetted DeFi protocols based on your risk profile
  3. Daily Updates: Your balance begins updating daily as yields accrue
  4. Automatic Compounding: Earnings automatically compound

​
First Deposit Considerations

Your first deposit may show temporary negative yield on day one due to:
  • Bridging and transaction fees
  • Stablecoin conversion slippage (if converting between stablecoins)
This is normal and temporary. Overall expected returns remain strongly positive.

​
Protocol Lock Periods

Some protocols may have initial lock periods:
  • Hyperliquid: 3-day lock period from initial deposit
  • EdgeX: 3-day lock period from initial deposit
Your funds allocated to these protocols will be subject to these lock periods. Check your allocation in the transparency dashboard.

​
Withdrawing Funds

​
Withdrawal Process

Sprout has no mandatory lock-up periods, though some protocols may have initial deposit locks as noted above. How to Withdraw:
  1. Navigate to Withdraw: Click “Cash Out” in the app
  2. Enter Amount: Specify how much you want to withdraw
  3. Confirm: Submit your withdrawal request
  4. Processing: Withdrawals process during the next rebalancing cycle (every Friday)

​
Withdrawal Timeline

  • Standard Processing: every week
  • Protocol-Specific Locks: If funds are in Hyperliquid or EdgeX and still within the 3-day initial deposit period, you’ll need to wait until the lock period expires

​
Withdrawal Fees

Currently, there are no withdrawal fees.

​
Partial vs. Full Withdrawals

You can withdraw:
  • Partial amounts: Keep earning on the remaining balance
  • Full balance: Withdraw everything and close your position
Both options are available anytime (subject to protocol lock periods).

​
What Happens to My Strategy?

When you withdraw:
  • Partial Withdrawal: Your strategy continues with the remaining balance
  • Full Withdrawal: Your position is fully closed
  • Rebalancing: If withdrawal significantly changes your balance, your strategy may automatically rebalance

​
Fees

​
Current Fee Structure

  • Deposit Fees: None
  • Withdrawal Fees: None
  • Platform Fees: None at this time
  • Network Fees: Standard network gas fees apply for bridging across protocols (typically very low)
Future fee structures will be announced in advance.

​
Connected Wallets

​
Wallet Support

Sprout uses Privy, which supports:
  • Email login (Privy creates an embedded wallet)
  • Apple login (Privy creates an embedded wallet)
  • Google login (Privy creates an embedded wallet)
  • Connect existing wallet: All Base-compatible wallets

​
Managing Your Wallet

If you signed up with email/Apple/Google:
  • Privy creates a secure embedded wallet for you
  • You don’t need to manage seed phrases
  • Your wallet is secured by your login credentials + optional 2FA
If you connected an existing wallet:
  • You maintain full control via your own wallet
  • Approve all transactions through your wallet interface

​
Troubleshooting

​
My deposit hasn’t been allocated yet

Allocations are completed during rebalancing cycles (every Friday). If it’s been longer, create a ticket on Sprout’s Discord.

​
I can’t withdraw

Check if:
  1. Your funds are in Hyperliquid or EdgeX and still within the 3-day initial lock period
  2. You have sufficient balance
  3. Network is experiencing congestion

​
My earnings are negative on day one

This often arises due to bridging and transaction fees. See “First Deposit Considerations” above. Earnings will turn positive as yields accrue.

​
Security Best Practices

  • Enable 2FA on your account
  • Never share your login credentials
  • If using a connected wallet, keep your seed phrase secure
  • Verify you’re on the official Sprout domain
  • Contact support only through Discord
