Quickstart
From zero to holding a vault share in four steps.
Connect to the chain
ArcYield settles on Arc. Add the network to your wallet and bring USDC in over CCTP or Gateway from any supported chain; gas is paid in USDC, so that is the only asset you need.
# Arc
Chain ID: 5042
RPC: https://rpc.mainnet.arc.io
Explorer: https://explorer.arc.io
Gas token: USDC (native, 18 decimals in the EVM)Deposit
- Pick a vault. ARC10 is the broad index; see Vaults for all three.
- Call
deposit()on the vault with the USDC you want to invest as the transaction value. - You receive shares priced at the current NAV, minted in the same transaction, final in under a second.
Shares are plain ERC-20 tokens. You can transfer them, LP them, or hold them; the NAV behind each share moves with the basket and its compounding yield.
Redeem
- Call
redeem(shares)with the amount you want to exit. - Your shares burn, and USDC at the current NAV returns in the same transaction.
Redemptions pull from the vault's idle USDC. A very large redemption can exceed what is idle and revert until the executor unwinds positions; see Risk for the details.
