# Deposit USDC

Deposit USDC into the exchange for trading.

**Endpoint:** `POST /v1/account/deposit`

**Example:**

```typescript
import axios from "axios";
import { apiClient } from "./risex-core";

const depositUSDC = async (
  account: string,
  amount: string, // Amount in plain decimal (e.g., "100" for 100 USDC)
) => {
  try {
    const response = await apiClient.post('/v1/account/deposit', {
      account: account,
      amount: amount,
    });

    const { data } = response.data;
    console.log('Deposit successful!');
    console.log('Transaction Hash:', data.transaction_hash);
    console.log('Block Number:', data.block_number);

    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
      console.error('Deposit failed:', error.response?.data?.message || error.message);
    } else {
      console.error('Deposit failed:', (error as Error).message);
    }
    throw error;
  }
};

// Example usage:
// await depositUSDC(
//   '0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266', // Your account address
//   '100' // Deposit 100 USDC
// );
```

## Important Notes

* **Amount Format**: The amount should be in plain decimal format (e.g., "100" for 100 USDC), not with 18 decimals
* **Gas Sponsored**: Deposit transactions are gas-sponsored by the API service
* **Balance Update**: After deposit, your balance will be updated in the exchange and can be used for trading
