# Deposits & Withdrawals

> Complete guide to depositing funds into Sprout and withdrawing your earnings

## Depositing Funds

### Supported Assets

Currently, Sprout supports:

* **USDC** (USD Coin)

Additional stablecoins will be added in the future.

### Supported Networks

Currently, Sprout supports deposits on:

* **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

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

### 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](https://discord.com/invite/kRrb5XT3mN).

### 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
