# Gauntlet vault

> Earn yield on idle USDC in the Gauntlet x Liquid LP Vault.

[Liquid Earn](/earn/what-is-liquid-earn) puts idle USDC into the Gauntlet x Liquid LP Vault on Arbitrum, curated by Gauntlet. You keep control of your funds: every deposit and withdrawal is signed from your own wallet.

## How it works

Gauntlet manages the vault's strategy, and the vault's returns are your yield. The yield varies and isn't fixed. The app shows the current rate before you deposit.

<Warning>Earn is not a bank account and is not insured. Like any on-chain vault, it carries strategy and smart contract risk.</Warning>

## Deposit

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="iOS">
    On **Home**, open **For You** and scroll to **Earn**. Tap **Liquid LP Vault** by Gauntlet, then **Deposit**. Enter an amount and tap **Deposit from Liquid** to submit it.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Web">
    Click **Earn** in the top bar, then **Deposit**. Choose whether to deposit from your **Liquid** balance or from **Arbitrum**, enter the amount, and confirm.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

The minimum deposit is \$1. On web, depositing from your Liquid balance needs at least \$5 and takes about 3 to 7 minutes to bridge to Arbitrum.

**New deposits lock for 1 hour.** After that, you can withdraw at any time.

## Withdraw

Open the vault and tap **Withdraw**. On web, you can withdraw to your Liquid balance or to your wallet on Arbitrum. On iOS, withdrawals go to your **Stocks** balance; use **Transfer** to move them to Liquid. See [Move funds](/account/move-funds).

## Other Earn programs

The Gauntlet vault is one of two Liquid Earn programs. See [What is Liquid Earn?](/earn/what-is-liquid-earn) to compare them. [HLP](/earn/hlp) is Hyperliquid's protocol vault, which earns or loses money from market making and liquidations.
