# Step-by-Step Guide
> Complete walkthrough of supplying assets and earning yield on Edel Finance
Follow this detailed guide to start earning yield on your crypto holdings in minutes. Each step includes tips and important information to ensure a smooth experience.
## Start Earning Today
Visit app.edel.finance and connect your MetaMask, WalletConnect, or hardware wallet.
Ensure you're on the correct network (Ethereum, Arbitrum, etc.) before proceeding.
Browse available markets and select the asset you want to supply (USDC, ETH, etc.).
**What to look for:**
* **Supply APY**: Your expected annual return
* **Total Supplied**: Market size and liquidity depth
* **Utilization Rate**: Higher = better yields but less withdrawal availability
Input how much you want to supply and review the transaction details.
First-time suppliers need to approve the asset (one-time transaction) before supplying.
Approve the transaction in your wallet. Pay gas fees (typically \$5-20 on Ethereum).
Once confirmed, you'll instantly receive aTokens representing your deposit.
Your aToken balance increases every second as interest accrues automatically.
**Example**: Supply 1,000 USDC → Receive 1,000 aUSDC → Balance grows to 1,050 aUSDC after one year at 5% APY
Click "Withdraw", enter amount, and confirm to receive your original assets plus all earned interest.
If the market is highly utilized (>95%), you may need to wait for borrowers to repay.
## What Happens Next
Once you complete these steps, your assets will start earning yield immediately. Your aTokens will automatically compound interest every second, and you can withdraw your funds plus earnings at any time.
