# Getting started

> Sign in, add USDC from Base or another network, watch it earn, and withdraw.

## Sign in

Sign in with your email, Google, or a wallet you already use, such as Rabby, MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet.

Email and Google sign-ins get a wallet made for you by Privy. Only you can use it, and you can export its key from your account at any time.

## Add USDC

Choose **Add USDC**, then pick where it comes from.

- **USDC on Base.** Send USDC to your Obento wallet, or sign in with the wallet that holds it. Then put it to work in one step.
- **Another network or token.** Choose **Other crypto**. Relay gives you a deposit address and turns what you send into USDC on Base. Relay shows its fee before you send, and refunds go back to your own address.

If you signed in with email or Google, Obento pays the network fee. A wallet you connect pays Base's network fee itself, usually under a cent.

## Watch it earn

Your balance is your savings plus any USDC still in your wallet. Under it you see what you've earned so far, counting up each second, and the rate Autopilot earns now, after its fee.

Tap what you've earned to open **Activity**: everything you've added and withdrawn, Autopilot's fee in dollars, and each transaction on Basescan. **Download statement** saves it all as a CSV for your records.

The box below shows where your money is. Each compartment is a real place the vault lends to, sized by your money in it. Tap one to see how that place works, or tap **Autopilot** to see how it decides.

## Withdraw

Choose **Withdraw**, enter an amount, and choose where it goes: your Obento wallet or any address on Base.

Up to the vault's ready cash arrives at once. A bigger withdrawal arrives on Autopilot's next pass, usually within 15 minutes. [More about withdrawals](/docs/withdrawals).
