Connect and deposit

Visit earn.quicknode.com and click Connect Wallet.

Pick a wallet, or use WalletConnect for Rabby, Trust Wallet, Frame, and others. Approve the connection. The wallet you pick changes how many prompts you get. See Supported wallets.

Click New strategy. It asks one setting at a time, from coverage through networks. A covered strategy skips the networks step, because it invests on Base only. See Creating a strategy.

Approve your vaults, grouped by network. Sign to create the strategy. Then confirm the deposit.

You must approve at least one more vault than the strategy holds. Check the vault name and the network in each prompt. Reject a prompt that does not match, and start the walkthrough again. See Approvals and signatures.

If you stop after creating but before depositing, the strategy opens to its detail page. Select Fund this strategy to return to the deposit step.

After the deposit confirms, the strategy shows Earning yield on your dashboard.

If your USDC is not on a chain that hosts your starting vaults, Earn bridges it. The badge reads Earning yield as soon as the burn confirms, and a Bridging card tracks the USDC until it reaches the vault. See Cross-chain bridging for timing.
