How to Stake USDY, USDC in Orca Dex

Follow these steps to start earning 0.00% APY in the USDY USDC pool. The entire process takes 15–30 minutes for first-time DeFi users.

Step 1: Buy USDY, USDC

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

Step 2: Set Up a Wallet

Install MetaMask or use a Ledger hardware wallet. Add the Solana network if it is not detected automatically. Never store your seed phrase digitally.

Step 3: Get Solana for Gas

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

Step 4: Connect to Orca Dex

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.

Step 6: Track and Harvest

Check your position regularly. Some pools require manual reward claims — harvest and reinvest to compound your 0.00% APY over time.
