# How to Mint yUSD

This visual guide will walk you through every step in minting yUSD at [https://vaults.finance/](https://vaults.finance/).

You can learn more about yUSD here: [https://docs.yearn.finance/yusd](https://docs.yearn.finance/yusd)

## Prerequisites

* You must have DAI, USDC, USDT, TUSD, or yCRV to use for minting yUSD.
* You must use a supported wallet, either Metamask, Trustwallet, Trezor, or Torus.


## Visual Walkthrough

7\) Click `Confirm` to approve your deposit or click `Edit` to increase the gas fee if Ethereum is busy \(check [https://ethgasstation.info/](https://ethgasstation.info/) for current rates\). If you are depositing more than one type of token \(e.g. DAI and USDC\) you will need to do this step to approve each one.

8\) You will see this screen as the Ethereum blockchain processes your approval transaction.

9\) Once the approval is processed, click `Confirm` to actually make the depost \(or edit the gas fee first as before if you want to increase it\).

10\) You will see this screen as your transaction is processing. If this takes too long, you may not have set a high enough gas fee or you may have a stuck transaction, check our [FAQ page](https://docs.yearn.finance/faq#i-sent-my-eth-transaction-but-it-says-pending-how-do-i-fix-this) for how to resolve slow or stuck transactions.
