## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you want to programmatically deposit USDC into the Ink Balanced Yield (Veda/Kraken Boosted) vault specifically. It is ideal for agents automating yield strategies, portfolio rebalancing bots, or any workflow that needs to convert idle USDC into yield-bearing vault shares on the Ink network. Prefer this over generic DeFi swap endpoints when the explicit goal is to enter this specific vault and receive its shares.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing EVM wallet address returns an error
- Insufficient USDC balance to cover deposit plus $0.01 fee causes transaction failure
- Malformed wallet address (non-EVM format) rejected
- Network or RPC errors on the Ink chain causing transaction failure
- Amount field set to zero or negative value rejected
