How to deposit assets into Tricrypto?

The TriCrypto pool is available on Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Avalanche and Optimism. To get started, the first choice you need to make is what network you want to use for Curve Finance's Tricrypto farm. We recommend avoiding Ethereum mainnet unless you have over $100,000 because the fees to deposit into the pool are over $500, even when gwei is low.

The guide below is a quick overview of how to deposit ETH, WBTC and USDT on Arbitrum's Tricrypto pool, which charges under $1 in fees and pays a yield of up to 8% APY.

1. Download MetaMask Wallet and add the Arbitrum Network.
2. Send an equal amount of ETH, WBTC and USDT to your wallet. Example, if you want to farm $90,000 of assets - you will need $30,000 ETH, $30,000 WBTC and $30,000 USDT.
3. Visit the Tricrypto Pool on Curve Finance.
4. Input the amount you to deposit in USDT, wBTC and ETH - then select 'Deposit'.
