How to get started

Six steps take you from nothing to a running agent. Start at app.deploy.finance.

Step 1: Create your wallet​

Click Sign In.

Continue with Google, or sign in with email and enter the 6-digit verification code sent to you.

Deploy Finance creates an embedded, self-custodial wallet secured through Privy.

No browser extension is required, and the private keys are exportable.

Enable two-factor authentication from Manage 2FA in the sidebar.

Step 2: Deposit USDC​

From the dashboard, click Deposit.

Buy USDC with a Visa or Mastercard, transfer from an external wallet such as MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet, or receive from another wallet.

When transferring in, send USDC to the Arbitrum address Deploy Finance displays.

It will appear in your Funding Wallet.

Step 3: Choose an agent​

Click Deploy.

Enter a custom amount or pick a preset from 10% to 100%, choose the agent, and confirm.

Check the minimums first

$100 USDC recommended for Income: Funding Rates. $10,000 USDC is required for Super Perps.

Step 4: Grant trading permission​

In the Agents table, find your agent and click Delegate. Deploy Finance shows the exact permissions before activation: the agent can view balances and execute trades, and cannot transfer or withdraw your funds.

Review them, then click Approve.

Step 5: The strategy starts​

The agent becomes active and operates autonomously.

From the Deploy Finance app dashboard you can monitor activity and performance, change your allocation, revoke trading access, and withdraw. The agent's authority never extends past its delegated trading permissions.

Withdrawing​

  1. Check whether funds sit in the Agent Wallet or the Funding Wallet.
  2. If in the Agent Wallet, use Transfer and wait 3–4 minutes for the balance to update.
  3. Open the Withdraw tab.
  4. Enter the external address and amount.
  5. Confirm and sign the transaction.
  6. Check the receiving wallet after a few minutes.

Funds are withdrawable 24/7/365. Aligning withdrawals with calmer periods reduces slippage (don't worry about this, the agent will find the most optimal conditions to withdraw your capital).

Withdrawals are currently lump-sum.

Exporting your keys​

Your wallet is self-custodial, which means the private key can leave Deploy Finance with you. Exporting it moves control to any third-party wallet such as MetaMask, so your access to your funds never depends on Deploy Finance continuing to exist.

  1. Click Export Wallet.
  2. Select Export Funding Wallet.
  3. Follow the instructions.
  4. Import the wallet into a third-party wallet such as MetaMask.

Once imported, the key is in your own wallet.

Recovering funds sent to the wrong chain​

Funds sent to the wrong chain are not lost. The address is yours, so exporting the wallet gets you to them.

  1. Export your Funding Wallet using the steps above.
  2. Import it into a third-party wallet such as MetaMask.
  3. Bridge the assets back to Arbitrum manually.

Your USDC appears in Deploy Finance again once it arrives on Arbitrum.
