Question 1

What are Liquid Vaults?

Accepted Answer

Vaults are smart contracts that put your deposits to work in bigger yield strategies. Each vault is run by an independent expert called a curator. The curator invests, adjusts, and protects the vault to match its stated strategy and risk level.

Question 2

How easily can I withdraw from a Liquid Vault?

Accepted Answer

You can ask to withdraw at any time. The vault's curator then works to fill your request. In some cases it can take hours to days, because the curator may need to sell assets first.

Question 3

What/who are curators?

Accepted Answer

Curators are independent experts, usually professional firms, who manage vaults. They invest, adjust, and protect each vault's assets to match its stated strategy and risk level.

Question 4

What rewards do vaults offer?

Accepted Answer

Vaults earn rewards from different strategies. These include points programs and sometimes token rewards from partner protocols. The rewards go to the vault's depositors and can be a big part of the total return.

Question 5

What are the risks associated with Liquid Vaults?

Accepted Answer

Vaults carry risks like any other investment: market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk in lending strategies, and operational risk. There is also smart contract risk from the code the vault runs on. Do your own research and weigh these risks before depositing.View the Risk Disclosure.

Question 6

How do withdrawal requests work?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawal requests are typically processed within a few business days. Once processed, funds are sent automatically to your wallet in the vault deposit asset.

Question 7

What are the potential risks?

Accepted Answer

Staking and LSTs have benefits, but also risks. Common ones are price swings in staked assets and LSTs, general blockchain security risk, and smart contract risk. LSTs rely on smart contracts, and bugs in them can lead to losses. Audits help reduce these risks.
