Once your wallet is connected, **you must have ARCH tokens to proceed.**&#x20;

Start by inputing the amount of ARCH tokens you would like to deposit into the platform. Please ensure that you are allowing yourself enough ARCH buffer to pay for network transaction fees

* Users also have the option when clicking on the text field to choose between 25%/50%/75%/100% of their token balance to deposit
* When users click on the ARCH "balance" they are inputting their entire ARCH balance
