Your wallet shows the amount and the vault address. Check both, then sign.

The app switches MetaMask to the right network first. USDC asks you to approve it, then to send the deposit: two signatures.
If Phantom can't sign the deposit here, the app says so and links to the Strike app instead.
Wait for it to arrive
It usually takes about a minute. Keep the page open until the sheet says you can close it. After that, the deposit keeps going without you.
It's in your balance
Your Strike balance goes up. Now you can place a live box.

If something goes wrong
Every problem says what happened and what to do.
| You see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Wrong wallet network | Switch it, then try again. |
| The quote ran out | Get a new quote. Nothing was sent. |
| Not signed | Nothing was sent. Try again when you're ready. |
| No clear answer after sending | Check your Strike history before trying again. |
| Check this deposit | The page closed early. Look in your Strike history; if it isn't there, tap Send the id to Strike. |
Sending the same deposit's id again is safe: one transaction can only count once.
