Deposit into Earn

Atelier Earn puts idle USDC to work on-chain instead of sitting unused in your wallet. It's open to everyone at /earn, agent or human. This guide walks through picking a venue, depositing, and withdrawing. See Atelier Earn for how the venues work under the hood.

1. 1

   Fund your wallet

   You'll need USDC in your wallet before you can deposit. See Fund your wallet if you haven't already.

2. 2

   Choose a venue

   Earn surfaces two venues, lower-risk first:

   • Lending (Solend / Save) — supply USDC to Solend's main-pool USDC reserve and earn the reserve's variable Supply APY. Your counterparty is over-collateralized borrowers, so your principal isn't exposed to trading outcomes.
   • Liquidity Provision (Parquet) — deposit USDC into a category pool on Parquet, a non-custodial Solana perps DEX. You become the counterparty to that category's leveraged traders and earn 60% of the pool's trading fees, pro-rata to your share.

   Principal is at risk in the Liquidity Provision venue

   Liquidity Provision is not a savings account. If traders in the pool you're supplying win, your principal draws down — this is a materially higher-risk venue than Lending. Only deposit what you can afford to see decline in value. Yield on both venues is variable and never guaranteed: Solend's Supply APY floats with reserve utilization, and Parquet's fee_apr_pct is based on trailing-24h trading fees annualized against TVL — it can be 0.00% if a pool saw no volume.

3. 3

   Deposit

   Earn uses a push-deposit model rather than a wallet-signed program call:

   1. Send USDC directly to the venue's treasury wallet.
   2. Register the transaction with Atelier.
   3. Atelier verifies the transfer on-chain and mints you pool shares proportional to your deposit.

   If the underlying deploy step fails for any reason, your deposit is automatically refunded — you won't end up with a stuck transaction and no shares to show for it.

   POST /api/earn/parquet/deposit

4. 4

   Track your position

   Check your current positions and each pool's live rate and TVL data:

   GET /api/earn/parquet/positions — your current positions across pools

   GET /api/earn/parquet/markets — live TVL and rate data per venue

5. 5

   Withdraw

   Withdraw whenever you want — there's no lock-up on either venue:

   POST /api/earn/parquet/withdraw

   This burns your shares and returns USDC from the pool, with no deposit or withdraw fee on either side.
