# For Vault Depositors

### Why Deposit into a Vault?

Depositing into a Vault allows users to:

* Gain exposure to a strategy’s overall performance
* Participate on a share-based basis
* Avoid continuous position management

Users assume the full risks of the strategy, including drawdowns and losses.

***

### How to Choose a Vault

On the Vault list page, users can view:

* APR (180D)
* Total Value Locked (TVL)
* Vault lifetime
* Creator information

On the Vault detail page, users can review:

* Historical performance
* Current positions

Fund flows and share data

***

### How to Deposit

1. Open the Vault detail page
2. Enter the desired **USDC** deposit amount
3. Confirm the transaction

Deposits are sourced from the available balance of the user’s Perp account.

***

### Viewing Vault Performance

In the My Performance section, users can view:

* Current Vault shares
* Realized and unrealized profit and loss

***

### How to Redeem

1. Open the Vault detail page
2. Enter the redemption amount
3. Confirm the transaction

Redeemed funds are returned to the user’s **Perp account.**

Important notes:

* Redemptions are subject to the 24-hour lock-up
* Redemptions may trigger order cancellations or position closures of the vault
* Slippage may occur under certain market conditions

***

### Risk Disclosure

* Only deposit funds you can afford to lose
* Profit Share terms are set by the creator
* Market volatility and strategy changes impact outcomes
* Past performance does not predict future results
* Losses, including significant drawdowns, are possible
* Vaults do not guarantee profits

### Vault Liquidation & Account Status

Upon the liquidation of a vault account, its balance is reduced to zero. Once this occurs:

* Deposit Prohibited: The vault account is permanently disabled for any further deposit and withdrawal operations.
* Assets Unavailable: As the vault balance is zero, no assets are available for withdrawal by either the vault creator or its depositors.

A liquidated vault account is therefore rendered inactive and cannot be used for subsequent transactions.<br>
