Purchase USDC, SURVIVOR on Bybit, BINGX, or MEXC. Choose the Starknet network for withdrawal to avoid bridging fees. Confirm the network before completing the transfer.

Step 3: Get Starknet for Gas

Buy a small amount of Starknet's native token to pay transaction fees — usually $1–10 worth is sufficient for several transactions.

Step 4: Connect to Ekubo

Step 5: Approve and Deposit

Approve the token spend in your wallet, then confirm the deposit transaction. Yield begins accruing in the next block after confirmation.
