Getting Started

From zero to earning yield on Base in under five minutes.

01

Connect your wallet

Open notherc.xyz and tap Connect. Notherc uses Privy for auth — sign in with email, Google, X, or bring your own EOA. If you don't have a wallet, Privy creates an embedded Base wallet automatically.

02

Bridge or fund your wallet on Base

You need tokens on the Base network (Chain ID 8453). Bridge from Ethereum via the official Base bridge, or buy directly on Base through Coinbase.

Supported assets: USDC, WETH, cbBTC, EURC. Gas fees on Base are typically < $0.01.

03

Choose a vault

From the home screen, pick one of the four vaults. Each card shows the live 7-day APY. Tap a card to open the deposit sheet.

04

Deposit

Enter an amount (tap MAX to use your full balance). The preview shows the exact vault shares you'll receive. Confirm — this triggers two transactions: an ERC-20 approval, then the deposit call to the vault.

// Under the hood — useDeposit hook
const { deposit, status } = useDeposit(vaultId);
// status: "idle" | "approving" | "depositing" | "waiting" | "success"
await deposit({ amount: parseUnits("100", 6) });
05

Track your position

Go to the Portfolio tab. You'll see your share balance and the current asset value in real-time. As the vault accrues yield the exchange rate rises, so your shares become worth more.

06

Withdraw any time

Tap Withdraw on any position. Enter a share amount (or tap MAX), preview the assets you'll receive, and confirm. Most vaults settle instantly on-chain. Some assets queue and are available within 24 hours.

// useRedeem hook — instant flag
const { redeem } = useRedeem(vaultId);
await redeem({ shares: shareAmount, instant: true });

If instant: false, a withdrawal request is queued. You'll see "Request #X · Available within 24h" in your portfolio.

Next: explore the vaults

Learn about ERC-4626, APY mechanics, and vault addresses.
