# Recharge and activate the account

**1. Prepare Activation Funds**

Please ensure your wallet contains the following assets (all on the **Arbitrum network**):

* **At least 5 USDC:** Used for a one-time activation of your account.
* **A small amount of ETH:** Serves as Gas fees to cover network costs for on-chain operations.

> **How to Obtain the Required Assets?**
>
> * **Swap:** If your wallet holds other tokens, you can use the **"Swap"** feature within CornWallet to exchange them for **USDC and ETH on the Arbitrum network**.
