# eta deposit

> Move tokens from your public wallet into an encrypted balance.

```bash theme={null}
umbra eta deposit <mint> <amount> [options]
```

Transfers tokens from your public Associated Token Account (ATA) into an on-chain encrypted balance. After a successful deposit, the balance is hidden — it can only be decrypted by the owner's key.

The deposit follows the dual-instruction pattern: the CLI submits a handler transaction, waits for the Arcium MPC network to process it, then waits for the callback transaction to confirm. Both signatures are printed on success.

## Arguments

| Argument   | Description                                                  |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `<mint>`   | The SPL or Token-2022 mint address                           |
| `<amount>` | Amount in native token units (e.g. `100000000` for 100 USDC) |

<Note>
  Amounts are in base units, not display units. For a token with 6 decimals, `1000000` equals 1 token. For SOL (9 decimals), `1000000000` equals 1 SOL.
</Note>

## Options

| Flag                    | Default          | Description                                                                                           |
| ----------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--recipient <address>` | Your own address | Wallet address to credit. Deposits to any registered Umbra user.                                      |
| `--user <name>`         | Active user      | Run as a specific configured user without changing the global active user.                            |
| `--no-await-callback`   | `false`          | Return immediately after the queue transaction confirms, without waiting for the Arcium MPC callback. |

## Examples

```bash theme={null}
# Deposit 100 USDC into your own encrypted balance
umbra eta deposit EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v 100000000

# Deposit 50 USDC into another user's encrypted balance
umbra eta deposit EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v 50000000 \
  --recipient GsbwXfJraMomNxBcpR3DBFyKCCmN9SKGzKFJBNKxRFkT

# Return as soon as the queue transaction lands (no callback wait)
umbra eta deposit EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v 100000000 --no-await-callback
```

## Output

```
✓ Deposit complete
  Queue:    5KtP...vXm2
  Callback: 8aLr...nQ9w
```

`Queue` is the handler transaction that queues the MPC computation. `Callback` is the on-chain transaction that finalizes the deposit after MPC processing. When `--no-await-callback` is passed, only `Queue` is printed.

<Tip>
  Use `--no-await-callback` in automated pipelines or when the network is slow. The deposit is complete once the queue transaction lands — the callback is processed by the Arcium network independently and does not need to be observed by the CLI.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  The depositor's wallet address, the recipient address, and the gross transfer amount are all visible on-chain. Only the resulting encrypted balance is hidden. Deposits are not anonymous by themselves — use the mixer (`utxo create`) for unlinkable transfers.
</Warning>

## Prerequisites

* A user must be added and active (`umbra user add`).
* Both the sender and the recipient must have run `umbra register`.
* The sender must have sufficient token balance in their public ATA.
