Deposit and Withdraw
Deposit
Getting your funds into Liminal is straightforward. Currently, Liminal accepts USDC (and USDT0) deposits, which are converted into the strategy. The platform supports multiple deposit methods, so you can choose based on where your funds are:
Supported Deposit Channels:
Arbitrum (L2): You can deposit USDC directly from any Ethereum wallet via the Arbitrum network. Liminal will automatically bridge those funds to Hyperliquid and deploy them into the strategy.
Hyperliquid (Spot or Perpetual): If you are a Hyperliquid user, you can deposit from your Hyperliquid balances. Liminal allows direct deposit from your Hyperliquid spot or perpetual balance. This on-chain transfer is immediate.
deBridge (Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, HyperEVM): Liminal integrates cross-chain deposits using deBridge for users who have USDC/USDT0 on other chains. Your stablecoins will be bridged and automatically routed into Liminal’s Hyperliquid strategy on arrival.
Deposit Steps:
Connect Your Wallet: Visit the Liminal web app and connect an EVM-compatible wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.).
Select Deposit Source: Choose the network where your stablecoins are currently located. Self-Custody users’ deposits are limited to Hyperliquid Spot & Perps only.
Enter Deposit Amount: Specify how much stablecoins you want to deposit. The minimum deposit is 500 dollars, also maintain a little extra to cover any network gas fees if using Arbitrum or bridges.
Confirm and Sign: Submit the deposit through the interface. You’ll be prompted to sign a transaction. Confirm it in your wallet. Liminal will then handle moving the funds and deploying the delta-neutral position automatically.
Deployment: Once confirmed, your deposit will be processed. Liminal’s engine will immediately allocate the capital to open the spot and perp positions for your strategy. This typically completes within minutes. You can track the status of your deposit at the bottom of the dashboard under “Your Activity”, it will show as Queued, then Executing, and finally Success once fully deployed. Once completed, you’ll see your Liminal Balance (initial deposit value) on the UI, and the strategy begins accruing yield right away.
Track Your Position: After depositing, you can monitor your strategy’s performance in real time directly from the UI. You can view your balance, APY, and all key metrics at a glance. For full transparency, you can double-check everything in Your Holdings or by using the Verify button to see on-chain proofs of your positions and yields. Your position continues to be managed automatically from here.
Once deposited, you’re all set, Liminal Customized is now working for you!
Withdraw
You are free to withdraw your funds from Liminal at any time. Withdrawals are designed to be fast and straightforward while minimizing slippage and market impact.
Supported Withdrawal Channels:
Arbitrum: Regular users can withdraw USDC to their EVM wallet on Arbitrum. (Note: Currently, Self-Custody Mode users cannot withdraw directly to Arbitrum through Liminal, because their funds reside on Hyperliquid sub-accounts. This route is for regular mode only.)
Hyperliquid Spot: You can withdraw directly into your Hyperliquid spot balance in USDC. This is convenient if you plan to keep using Hyperliquid or want to trade/transfer via Hyperliquid after exiting Liminal.
Withdrawal Steps:
Initiate Withdrawal: In the Liminal app, click the “Withdraw” button next to your Liminal balance.
Choose Destination: Select Arbitrum or Hyperliquid Spot as the withdrawal route.
Enter Amount: Specify how much you want to withdraw. You can withdraw a partial amount or the entire balance.
Confirm: Once you submit, withdrawal requests initiate instantly and typically settle within minutes.
Strategy Unwind: Behind the scenes, Liminal’s engine will close your delta-neutral position corresponding to the amount withdrawn. This means it will sell the spot asset and close the perp short in the necessary amounts.
Funds Received: You will then receive the USDC.
No Fees or Lockup: Liminal does not charge any withdrawal fee or impose delays. You get your full balance minus any final execution costs from unwinding. Do note that if the market is highly volatile or if your position was large relative to market liquidity, there might be minor slippage or spread cost when closing the position. Liminal’s engine tries to optimize this and usually the impact is minimal.
Because there’s no lockup, some users might treat Liminal like a savings account, deposit when you have spare capital, withdraw when you need it. Just remember each deposit/withdraw has to execute trades, so frequent in/out activity may incur cumulative trading costs. It’s best to use Liminal for funds you intend to leave earning yield ideally over longer periods to maximize net returns.
