How to deposit

Depositing into one of Brinks Vaults is very easy and efficient. In this example we will show you how to deposit USDC in the vault.

Navigate to the Vault Page: Launch the app and you will see selection of vaults, choose which one fits you most. Inside you will see vault details like Total Value Locked (TVL), current APY (yield rate, which fluctuates), supported chains, and a deposit interface. Review the APY and risks displayed.
