Deposit into a vault

Deposit tUSDC into a Noderr vault and get vault shares back.

Vaults run on Base Sepolia and hold seeded test funds. No capital has been deployed to strategies yet. See Testnet Status.

What you need to know

• The vaults are ERC-7540. You request a deposit, a keeper fulfils it, then your shares are claimed. There is no minimum wait (fulfillmentDelay is 0).
• Vaults take tUSDC, not NODR. Mint free tUSDC at the Noderr Faucet.
• You need a Web3 wallet such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet or Rainbow on Base Sepolia, with a little Base Sepolia ETH for gas.
• There is no minimum deposit. The onchain minDeposit is 0 on every vault.
• Deposit fee 0%. Management fee 0%. Performance fee 10% to 15% of profit above the vault's hurdle, taken on profits at harvest. See Fee Structure.

Choose a method

Pick a vault

Each vault has its own target APY band, listed in Core Concepts. Targets are not guaranteed and no capital is deployed on testnet. The Inverse and Configurable vaults run variable strategies. Returns vary.

Standard deposit

1. Open Vaults and click View Details on your vault.
2. Enter the tUSDC amount, or click Max for your whole balance.
3. Set Auto-Claim. On, the AutoClaimKeeper claims your shares for you and takes 0.1% of the deposit from the claimed shares. Off, you claim them yourself for free.
4. Set your slippage tolerance (default 0.5%). It protects you from receiving fewer shares than expected if the price moves.
5. Click Approve and confirm in your wallet. You do this once per vault.
6. Click Deposit and confirm. With Auto-Claim off the button reads Request Deposit.
7. Track the request in the Fulfillment Queue panel. It shows progress from 0 to 100%, your queue position (#3 of 12), the estimated time and your Auto-Claim status.
8. With Auto-Claim off, wait for the status Claimable. Then click Claim Deposit and confirm to receive your shares.

Instant deposit

1. Check the Instant Liquidity panel on the vault page for available liquidity, the current fee and your expected shares.
2. Switch the deposit form to Instant and enter your amount.
3. Review the fee: 2% base plus a 0-3% utilization premium, 2-5% in total.
4. Click Instant Deposit and confirm. Your shares are minted at once.

Instant deposits are limited by the liquidity in the InstantLiquidityPool.

Gasless deposit

1. Switch on Gasless in the deposit form and enter your amount.
2. Click Sign Deposit and sign the EIP-712 message in your wallet. Signing costs no gas.

A relayer submits the transaction onchain and pays the gas. The relayer fee (2%+) is deducted from your deposit. Gasless deposits turn Auto-Claim on.

Your shares

Shares are your proportional ownership of the vault's assets. Depositing 1000 tUSDC into Conservative returns about 1000 nCONS.

Share value will rise once the vault earns yield. Yield will be reinvested automatically, with no action from you. Your dashboard shows your position value. To redeem at any time, see the Withdraw Guide.

If something goes wrong

• Request pending too long. Check that you are on Base Sepolia. The keeper service may be delayed. If it persists, ask on Discord.
• "Insufficient Liquidity" on an instant deposit. Try a smaller amount, use a standard deposit, or check back when the pool is replenished.
• Auto-Claim not executing. Check that you had enough balance for the 0.1% fee, then check the Fulfillment Queue. Manual claim is always available.
• Transaction failed. Usual causes: too little ETH for gas, tUSDC not approved for the vault, not enough tUSDC, or network congestion. Try again in a few minutes.
