Quick Start Guide

1

Navigate to the SherpaEarn main page and select the network you would like to deposit on.

Pay attention to the amount of available capacity on the chain you are selecting. If insuficient select another chain instead.

2

Connect wallet on any integrated network and deposit USDC using the deposit tab.

First, approve the amount of USDC you'd like to deposit, and then confirm a second transaction which sends your USDC to the vault.

After depositing you'll see a confirmation summarizing the estimated amount of shUSD you'll receive. Your deposit is now pending.

3

Simply wait a few hours for the next cycle to get rolled forward. Once this happens, your shUSD will be minted into the vault and you will start earning yield.

Average wait time is about 12 hrs.

4

You can take possession of your shUSD by claiming it. Claiming is optional, however it is recommended since you will capture additional points yield on top of the base USDC yield offering.

Claim by clicking 'Claim now' below the cycle progress bar.

5

Thats it! Just hold your shUSD and all profits accrued through the underlying yield strategy will be compounded automatically into your principal deposit!

The price trends up over time: no claiming, swapping, or monitoring is needed to capture your earnings.

6

(OPTIONAL) Bridge to other networks and explore more advanced ways to use your shUSD within partner DeFi apps or other derivative products. As shUSD adoption grows, users will be able to build leveraged positions by layering yields across multiple protocols.

You'll be sending shUSD from the source and receiving the exact same amount on the destination.

7

If you would like to exit the vault, you can do so by first navigating to the chain which you hold your shUSD token on.

Enter the amount of shUSD into the appropriate field and withdraw.

8

Wait for the cycle to get rolled over once again and afterwards you can then finalize your withdrawal.

Click on the 'Finalize' button to prompt the transaction.
