Deposit Guide
This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough of how to deposit capital into a Noderr yield vault and start earning sustainable, risk-adjusted yield.
Before You Begin
- Web3 Wallet: Ensure you have a Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet) installed and funded with the asset you wish to deposit (e.g., USDC, ETH, WBTC).
- Network: Make sure your wallet is connected to the Base Sepolia network.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Navigate to the Vaults Section
Visit the Noderr dApp and click on the "Vaults" tab in the navigation. This will take you to the vault listing page, where you can see all five available yield vaults.
Step 2: Select a Vault
Browse the list of vaults and choose one that aligns with your risk tolerance and investment goals. Each vault card displays the vault's name, its underlying asset, its current Annual Percentage Yield (APY), and its risk profile.
| Vault | Risk Profile | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Low Risk | Conservative | Capital preservation with modest returns |
| Balanced | Moderate | A mix of conservative and growth strategies |
| Growth | Aggressive | Higher returns with a moderate level of risk |
| Aggressive | Aggressive | Maximum growth potential |
| Institutional | Custom | Institutional clients with specific requirements |
Once you have chosen a vault, click the "View Details" button to proceed to the vault's detail page.
Step 3: Enter Deposit Amount
On the vault detail page, you will see a deposit form. Enter the amount of the underlying asset you wish to deposit. You can either type the amount manually or use the "Max" button to deposit your balance.
Step 4: Approve the Transaction
Before you can deposit, you will need to approve the Noderr smart contract to spend your tokens. Click the "Approve" button and confirm the transaction in your wallet. This is a one-time transaction for each asset.
Step 5: Confirm the Deposit
Once the approval transaction is confirmed, the "Deposit" button will become active. Click "Deposit" and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
What Happens Next?
Once your deposit transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, you will receive a corresponding amount of vault tokens (e.g., nUSDC) in your wallet. These tokens represent your share of the vault's assets and will automatically increase in value as the vault generates yield. You can track the performance of your investment on the dApp's dashboard. You can also withdraw your funds at any time, subject to the protocol's 28-day unbonding period.
