Getting Started
This guide walks you through depositing into a Collective vault.
What You Need
A wallet — Any EVM-compatible wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow, etc.)

A small amount of ETH/HYPE — For gas fees (minimal on HyperEVM)
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Visit collective.markets and click "Connect Wallet" in the top right. Select your wallet and approve the connection.
Make sure you're connected to HyperEVM. If your wallet doesn't have it configured, you can add it:
