When users initiate a deposit on ForeGate H5 or the Web interface, the following guidance is displayed:

**1. Select Deposit Asset:**\
A dropdown list shows the supported source chains (Tron, BSC, Ethereum, TON) and their corresponding recommended assets (USDT and major native tokens of each chain, such as BNB, ETH, TRX, etc.).

**2. Enter Amount:**\
The system calls the backend in real time for a quote and displays the following:

* **Estimated Receipt:** The amount of Solana USDT you will receive.
* **Total Fees:** Includes cross-chain bridge fees, on-chain gas fees, and platform service fees.
* **Exchange Rate:** Conversion rate from the source asset to target USDT.

**3. Obtain Deposit Address:**\
The system generates a one-time, time-limited escrow address (managed by an MPC wallet).\
You transfer the selected asset from your wallet or exchange to this address.

**4. Deposit Confirmation:**\
The backend system automatically completes the process: Receive → On-chain Swap (if needed) → Cross-chain Conversion → Credit Solana USDT to your account.\
You can view the processing progress in real time (Awaiting Deposit → Swapping → Cross-chaining → Completed).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://foregate.gitbook.io/foregate-docs/getting-started/quickstart/how-to-deposit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
