Two steps, and both end on Solana:
1

Reclaim — venue → pool

Bring funds back from an exchange to your pool.
2

Withdraw — pool → your wallet

Send USDC from your pool to your own Solana address.
The rule underneath. Your money rests in the pool. Collateral sitting on an exchange is temporary — it’s there to back a position. Once the position is closed, it comes home.

Step 1 — Reclaim funds from an exchange

Close the position first. Collateral backing an open position isn’t free to move; reclaim only takes free cash. Then reclaim, either for a specific amount or for everything free on that venue. It runs as a background job you can watch: While a reclaim is in flight it appears in your balance as in flight, so the money is never invisible: it’s either on a venue, in flight, or in your pool.
Minimums, and the amount that actually lands.Minimums. Small reclaims aren’t worth the fees, so there are floors: about 1.50 USDC on Pacifica, and about 2 USDC on Hyperliquid and Aster.The amount that lands is the amount that lands. Venue withdrawal fees and bridge costs come out along the way, so reclaiming 5 USDC might land 4.97. ryft reports what actually arrived in your pool — the observed change — not the amount you asked for.
Reclaiming doesn’t require withdrawals to be enabled. Your funds never leave custody; they just move from an exchange back to your own pool.

Step 2 — Withdraw from the pool

This is the only way money leaves ryft.
  1. Enter the amount in USDC.
  2. Enter the destination — a Solana address. It defaults to the wallet you signed in with, which is the safe choice.
  3. Confirm.
The transfer is a single Solana transaction and confirms in seconds. You get back a transaction signature and an explorer link, so you can verify it landed yourself. If the destination doesn’t have a USDC account yet, ryft creates one as part of the same transaction and pays the small rent for it. You don’t need to prepare anything.
Everything lands on Solana. Withdrawals always pay out in USDC on Solana — regardless of which exchange the funds were originally deployed to. The bridging back from Arbitrum or BNB Chain happens during reclaim, before the money reaches your pool.So your destination must be a Solana address that you control. Not an Ethereum address, not an Arbitrum one. If you’re sending to a centralised exchange, check its USDC deposit address is on the Solana network — this is the most common way withdrawals go missing, and it isn’t recoverable.

If you don’t see a withdraw option

Withdrawals are gated per deployment and are off by default. When they’re off, the app says so rather than showing a button that would fail. There’s also a per-withdrawal cap when the feature is on — a larger balance goes out as several withdrawals. Reclaim is unaffected by that gate: you can always bring funds back from an exchange to your pool.

What the errors mean

Security — read the address back. Anyone holding a valid session could send funds to any address, so what protects your funds is your session and your wallet. Sign out on shared machines. Never approve a signature request that arrived by DM. Read the destination address back before confirming — check the first and last four characters against your wallet, not just the middle.On our side: withdrawals are off by default, capped per withdrawal when enabled, and every destination is validated before anything moves. Destination allowlists and velocity limits are on the roadmap, not shipped — so the address readback is genuinely your last line of defence.

If a withdrawal doesn’t arrive

  1. Check the explorer link the withdrawal returned. Solana confirms in seconds, so if the transaction succeeded, the funds are at the destination.
  2. Check you’re looking at a Solana wallet, not an Arbitrum or Ethereum one.
  3. Check the destination address matches what you intended.
For a reclaim that seems stuck: bridged venues take minutes, and the job reports its stage. If it fails, the error names the stage — funds are still in custody, either on the venue or in your pool.
