## Step 5: Deposit & Approve USDC <a href="#c5d9" id="c5d9"></a>

Follow the prompts to deposit and approve USDC for trading. This step requires a gas fee, which is the only charge you’ll incur outside of withdrawals.

Our platform operates off-chain for all of your trades to minimize the fees you’re paying!
