Supported Assets and Venues#

Hightop runs on Base, but the product surface is curated. What matters in practice is not every token that exists on Base. It is which asset categories, rails, and venue families Hightop actually routes through in real product flows.

Support is action-specific. An asset can be supported for holding and converting, but not for direct receive, bank withdrawal, agent payments, or borrowing.

This page is a reference guide to the main asset families and venue families you will encounter in Hightop today.

Main Asset Categories#

Category	Main examples	Common Hightop surfaces	Short note
Dollar assets	`USDC`, `EURC`, `GREEN`	funding, wallet balances, convert, Earn, borrowing flows, withdrawals	Main dollar-denominated balances and debt outputs.
Major crypto assets	`ETH` / `WETH`, `cbBTC`	wallet balances, direct receive on Base, convert, Earn, collateral	Core portfolio assets rather than the default payment rail.
Yield positions	`Core Earn`, `Amplified Earn`, `Earn` for `GREEN`	earnings, convert, collateral, portfolio management	First-class positions inside the same Hightop account.
Protocol-native and reward assets	`RIPE` and other protocol-linked assets	rewards, selected account views, specialized opportunities	Visible in some Hightop surfaces, but not universal across all flows.

USDC is the main dollar asset across funding, payments, conversion, and bank off-ramp flows.

GREEN is the Ripe Protocol dollar-tracking stablecoin used in borrowing flows.

In the current direct receive flow, non-USDC assets are Base-only.

Yield positions are endpoints inside the same account, not separate products. Vault shares can also serve as productive collateral.

Protocol-native assets are more selective. For example, RIPE is visible in Hightop but excluded from some direct receive and convert flows.

Capability Guide#

Capability	Typical assets or positions	Notes
Fund from bank or partner	dollar balances, especially `USDC`	Bank deposits currently land into the same Hightop account and show up as `USDC Core`.
Direct crypto receive	standard account assets on Base; `USDC` additionally on selected non-Base networks	The current receive flow is curated. `RIPE` is excluded, and non-Base `USDC` receive has extra verification requirements.
Payments	primarily dollar assets, especially `USDC`	The current agent-payment and vendor docs center on dollar-denominated lanes.
Convert	wallet balances, `Core Earn`, `Amplified Earn`, and `GREEN`'s `Earn` position	The route list is curated. Same-asset moves and yield moves use the same `Convert` flow.
Earn	supported deposit assets and approved vault opportunities	The app only shows vaults and opportunities it can actually route to.
Borrow against collateral	stablecoins, major crypto assets, and Earn positions	Borrowing is one unified debt position backed by a supported subset of the portfolio.
Borrowed output	`GREEN` and, when capacity exists, `USDC`	Borrow output is destination-aware: the app can route borrowed funds into compatible positions like `Earn`.
Withdraw to bank	supported assets through the withdrawal flow, with `USDC` normalization when needed	Bank withdrawal is a dollar off-ramp. If the selected asset is not already `USDC`, the app inserts a conversion step.
Withdraw to crypto	active Base addresses only	Crypto withdrawal destinations are currently Base-only and must be prepared in advance.

Venue Families Under the Hood#

Underneath Hightop, venue integrations are modeled as registry-backed "legos" in Underscore Protocol. These are the venue families the stack can route through. The product surface remains narrower than the raw integration list.

The lists below are a snapshot. For the live, authoritative view of every approved venue and its current state on Base mainnet, see params.underscore.finance — also indexed in Technical References.

Yield Venue Families#

These are the lending, yield, and strategy venue families the stack can route through:

Ripe Protocol - protocol-native yield position infrastructure for GREEN
Aave V3 - lending market
Compound V3 - lending market
Euler - lending market
Fluid - lending market
Moonwell - lending market
Morpho - lending venue
Underscore - protocol-native yield infrastructure
40 Acres - yield protocol
Wasabi - yield protocol
Avantis - yield protocol
Sky PSM - protocol-specific stablecoin venue
ExtraFi - yield protocol

At the registry level, those venues currently touch assets like USDC, EURC, WETH, cbBTC, and GREEN, plus some venue-level assets like AERO that may appear under the hood without becoming broad app-surface assets.

In product terms, the important idea is simpler: Hightop Earn routes across approved yield venues under one vault and account model. The app is the live source of truth, and it does not expose every venue-asset combination directly.

Borrowing Infrastructure#

Borrowing in Hightop runs on Ripe Protocol.

That matters because Ripe plays two roles in the broader stack:

it is the unified multi-collateral lending infrastructure underneath Borrow
it also surfaces protocol-native positions like GREEN and its Earn position in Hightop's broader asset and yield model

Conversion and DEX Venue Families#

These are the decentralized exchange venue families behind Hightop's conversion and routing layer:

Aerodrome Classic - decentralized exchange
Aerodrome Slipstream - concentrated-liquidity decentralized exchange
Curve - stable-asset and pool-based decentralized exchange
Uniswap V2 - pool-based decentralized exchange
Uniswap V3 - concentrated-liquidity decentralized exchange

In the app, Convert can show the path through supported venues in its Advanced sheet, but the available route list is still filtered by asset support, destination support, and current routing availability.

Summary#

Base provides the settlement network
Hightop exposes a curated set of assets and positions on top of it
Underscore and Ripe provide the main venue and protocol integrations underneath
the app is the final source of truth for what your account can actually do right now

Approvals, vault configuration, route availability, destination prep, and product-surface choices narrow the live experience further.

Where to Go Next#

Fund and Withdraw for inbound rails, direct receive, and withdrawal rules
Convert for rebalancing between wallet balances, assets, and yield positions
Earn for the vault workflows users actually see in the app
Borrow for collateral, borrow assets, and repayment flows
Earn Under the Hood for the vault and routing model
Architecture for how the wallet, protocols, and venue layers fit together
