# Getting Started (UI v2)

Step-by-step guides for using the USDFC app

This section walks you through using the [**USDFC app**](https://app.usdfc.net) — from opening your first Trove to redeeming USDFC. If you want the concepts first, start with the [Overview](/usdfc-stablecoin/overview.md); the mechanics behind each operation live in [Core Mechanics](/usdfc-stablecoin/core-mechanics.md).

## After minting

Once you hold USDFC, you can put it to work: deposit into the [Stability Pool](/usdfc-stablecoin/getting-started/using-the-stability-pool.md), lend it in [Fixed-Rate Lending](/fixed-rate-lending/overview.md), deposit into the [USDFC Vault](/sf-yield-vault/core-mechanics/available-vaults-and-strategies/usdfc-lending-strategy.md), pair it with FIL on SushiSwap, or move it to other chains with the Bridge in the app.

Using the older interface at [legacy.usdfc.net](https://legacy.usdfc.net)? The flow is the same — see [Getting Started (UI v1)](/usdfc-stablecoin/getting-started/getting-started.md) for matching screenshots.
