Section: Trading

Four operations, all from the same panel.

## Deposit USDC

Any chain you hold USDC on.

- **Asset:** USDC
- **Minimum:** 5 USDC
- **Fee:** Flat 0.20 USDC

## Move between Nova and Hyperliquid

Your collateral sits on one side. Move it across from the transfer panel, in the top bar.

Both ways, **5 USDC minimum**.

> Below 5 USDC, or sent by hand to a contract address, funds are not credited and cannot be recovered.

## Hyperliquid Spot and Perps

Hyperliquid keeps two balances. Deposits land in **spot**, positions draw on **perps**, one action moves funds between them.

An order refused for margin on a balance that is not empty is almost always this.

## Withdraw

Withdrawals leave from **spot**. Move funds back there first.
