# Deposit and Start Earning

> Deposit USDC into a wallet, convert to C0, and claim weekly yield distributions

## Overview

Deposit USDC into any of your organization's wallets. The platform converts the balance to C0, the treasury token that participates in weekly merkle-claim yield distributions backed by U.S. Treasury bills.

## Prerequisites

* An API key from the [Camino Treasury dashboard](https://app.caminotreasury.com)
* At least one wallet in your organization (see [Wallets](/guides/wallets))

## Get a Deposit Address

List your wallets:

```javascript theme={null}
const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.caminotreasury.com/v1/wallets',
  { headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-api-key' } }
);

const { data: wallets } = await response.json();
// [{ "address": "0x742d35cc...", "label": "Main Treasury", "createdAt": "...", "updatedAt": "..." }]
```

Any wallet `address` is a valid USDC deposit address on the configured chains.

## Send USDC

Send USDC directly to the wallet `address` from your own wallet, an exchange, or any other source. The platform converts the incoming balance to C0; the conversion appears in `GET /v1/transfers` as a `usdc/ethereum → c0/ethereum` row.

You can also drive the conversion explicitly via the API:

```javascript theme={null}
await fetch('https://api.caminotreasury.com/v1/transfers', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-api-key', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    amount: '100.00',
    source: {
      currency: 'usdc',
      payment_rail: 'ethereum',
      from_address: '0x742d35cc6634c0532925a3b844bc454e4438f44e',
    },
    destination: {
      currency: 'c0',
      payment_rail: 'ethereum',
      to_address: '0x742d35cc6634c0532925a3b844bc454e4438f44e',
    },
  }),
});
```

Track every transfer (deposits and the subsequent C0 conversions) in the unified feed:

```javascript theme={null}
const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.caminotreasury.com/v1/transfers?limit=10',
  { headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-api-key' } }
);

const { data } = await response.json();
```

See [Core Concepts → Transfers](/guides/core-concepts#transfers) for the response shape.

## Earning Yield

Once your wallet holds C0, it participates in weekly yield periods. The operator publishes a merkle root per period to the on-chain `YieldDistributor`; holders submit a merkle proof to `claim()` and receive their share directly. Use `GET /v1/yield/{address}` to surface ready-to-submit claim entries for any holder. See [Core Concepts → Yield](/guides/core-concepts#yield) for the full flow.
