Deposit funds
To trade, you need funds in your Hyperliquid account. Hypersight can bring assets in from almost any chain in a single flow — you don’t need to bridge manually first.
Where to deposit
Open Portfolio → Deposit (or click the Deposit button in the navigation bar). The deposit panel handles everything: choosing a source chain, picking a token, and routing your funds to the right place on Hyperliquid.
Supported source chains
You can deposit from:
- Arbitrum (default)
- Ethereum
- Base
- Optimism
- Polygon
- BNB Chain
- Solana
Routing is handled by LI.FI, which finds a path from your source chain to Hyperliquid.
What to deposit
The simplest deposit is USDC — it’s the main collateral for trading perps, spot, and prediction markets. You can also deposit HYPE, Hyperliquid’s native token.
USDC for trading. Perpetuals use USDC as margin. Spot pairs and prediction markets are quoted in USDC too. If you’re not sure what to bring, bring USDC.
How to deposit
Choose your source chain and token
Pick the chain your funds are currently on, and the token you want to bridge.
Enter an amount
Type the amount, or use the percentage / MAX shortcuts.
Review the route
Hypersight shows the route and the amount that will arrive. It picks the path with the best combination of fees, fewest signatures, and speed.
Confirm
Approve the transaction(s) in your wallet. Hypersight switches your wallet to the source chain automatically if needed.
Land on Hyperliquid
Your funds arrive on Hyperliquid, ready to trade. When you bridge HYPE, you can opt to auto-deposit it straight to your HyperCore balance.
”Available to Trade” shortcuts
On your Portfolio, each balance shows an Available to Trade figure. Tapping it deep-links straight into the deposit flow pre-filled for that token, so topping up is one click.
Already have funds on Hyperliquid?
If you already hold assets on Hyperliquid, you don’t need to deposit again. Use the Transfer tab to move USDC between your perp and spot balances instantly (same-chain, no bridge).
