Getting Started

Your Guide To connect and earn with the Vault7 Protocol

Getting Started

1. Connect Your Wallet

Note: Make sure you use the faucet after connecting to acquire your Test tokens, you'll need them to purchase your Access Key and make Deposits.

2. Purchase an Access Key

Choose between Basic Access (0.1 SOL) or Elite Access (0.5 SOL with 5% APR boost). Access Keys are NFTs that unlock vault deposits.

3. Make Your First Deposit

Enter amounts of SOL and V7USDC you want to deposit. The vault will automatically add your liquidity to the concentrated position.

4. Earn Yields

Your deposit earns trading fees from the SOL/V7USDC pool. Elite Access holders earn 5% more APR on deposits. Watch your earnings grow in real-time!

5. Withdraw Anytime

Burn your VLT7 share tokens to withdraw your proportional share of the vault. You'll receive SOL and V7USDC based on your ownership.

Key Concepts

Access Tiers

Basic Access
0.1 SOL • Standard APR
Elite Access
0.5 SOL • 5% APR Boost

Concentrated Liquidity

Unlike traditional pools that spread liquidity across all prices, Vault 7 concentrates liquidity in a specific price range where most trading happens. This means your capital earns more fees per dollar deposited - but it also means higher impermanent loss if prices move significantly.

Important: Understand the Risks

  • •Impermanent Loss: If SOL price changes significantly, you may receive less value when withdrawing than you deposited
  • •Smart Contract Risk: As with all DeFi, there's risk of bugs or exploits
  • •Market Risk: Crypto assets are volatile - only deposit what you can afford to lose
  • •This is Devnet: This is a test environment. All tokens are for testing only and have no real value

Quick Tips

💡 Start Small

Make a small test deposit first to understand how the vault works before committing larger amounts.

📊 Check the Preview

Always review the deposit/withdraw preview before confirming transactions to see exactly what you'll receive.

⏱️ Be Patient

Yields accumulate over time. Give your deposit time to earn fees before withdrawing.
