Deposit Guide

This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough of how to deposit capital into a Noderr ERC-7540 yield vault and start earning sustainable, risk-adjusted yield.

Before You Begin

• Web3 Wallet: Ensure you have a Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow) installed and funded with NODR tokens.
• Network: Make sure your wallet is connected to the Base Sepolia testnet.
• Test Tokens: Visit the Noderr Faucet to receive free testnet NODR tokens.

Choose Your Deposit Method

Noderr offers multiple deposit options to suit your preferences:

Method 1: Standard Deposit with Auto-Claim (Recommended)

This is the recommended method for most users. You submit one transaction, and the system automatically claims your shares when ready.

Step 1: Navigate to Vaults

Visit the Noderr dApp and browse the available vaults:

Step 2: Select a Vault

Click "View Details" on your chosen vault to access the deposit interface.

Step 3: Enter Deposit Amount

Enter the amount of NODR tokens you wish to deposit. Use the "Max" button to deposit your entire balance.

Minimum Deposits:

• Conservative, Moderate, Hedged, Configurable: 100 NODR
• Aggressive, Inverse: 250 NODR

Step 4: Enable Auto-Claim

Toggle "Auto-Claim" to ON. This enables the AutoClaimKeeper service to automatically claim your shares when the request is fulfilled.

Auto-Claim Fee: 0.1% of your deposit (deducted from claimed shares)

Step 5: Set Slippage Tolerance

Set your slippage tolerance (default: 0.5%). This protects you from receiving fewer shares than expected due to price movements.

Step 6: Approve and Deposit

1. Click "Approve" and confirm in your wallet (one-time per vault)
2. Click "Deposit" and confirm the transaction
3. Done! Your shares will be automatically claimed in 1-2 hours

Step 7: Track Your Request

Monitor your request in the Fulfillment Queue panel:

• Progress Bar: Shows fulfillment status (0-100%)
• Queue Position: Your place in the queue (#3 of 12)
• Estimated Time: When your shares will be ready
• Auto-Claim Status: Confirms automatic execution is enabled

Method 2: Standard Deposit with Manual Claim

For users who want to save the 0.1% auto-claim fee.

Steps 1-5: Same as Above

Follow steps 1-5 from Method 1, but toggle "Auto-Claim" to OFF.

Step 6: Approve and Request Deposit

1. Click "Approve" and confirm in your wallet
2. Click "Request Deposit" and confirm the transaction

Step 7: Wait for Fulfillment

Your request will be fulfilled in 1-2 hours. Monitor the status in the Fulfillment Queue panel.

Step 8: Claim Your Shares

When status shows "Claimable":

1. Click "Claim Deposit"
2. Confirm the transaction in your wallet
3. Receive your vault shares (e.g., nCONS)

Method 3: Instant Deposit

For users who need immediate execution and are willing to pay a premium.

Step 1: Check Instant Liquidity

On the vault detail page, check the "Instant Liquidity" panel to see:

• Available liquidity
• Current fee (2-5% based on utilization)
• Expected shares

Step 2: Select Instant Mode

Toggle to "Instant" mode in the deposit interface.

Step 3: Enter Amount and Deposit

1. Enter your deposit amount
2. Review the fee breakdown:
   • Base fee: 2%
   • Utilization premium: 0-3%
   • Total fee: 2-5%
3. Click "Instant Deposit" and confirm

Step 4: Receive Shares Immediately

Your vault shares are minted instantly. No waiting required!

Note: Instant deposits are limited by available liquidity in the InstantLiquidityPool.

Method 4: Gasless Deposit

For users who don't have ETH for gas fees.

Step 1: Enable Gasless Mode

Toggle "Gasless" in the deposit interface.

Step 2: Sign the Message

Instead of submitting a transaction, you'll sign an EIP-712 message:

1. Enter your deposit amount
2. Click "Sign Deposit"
3. Sign the message in your wallet (no gas required)

Step 3: Relayer Submits Transaction

A relayer will submit your transaction onchain and pay the gas. The relayer fee (2%+) is deducted from your deposit.

Step 4: Auto-Claim Enabled

Gasless deposits automatically enable auto-claim. Your shares will be claimed automatically when ready.

Understanding Vault Shares

When you deposit, you receive vault shares that represent your ownership:

Share Value:

• Shares represent proportional ownership of vault assets
• Share value increases as the vault generates yield
• No action required to compound returns

What Happens Next?

After receiving your shares:

1. Track Performance: View your position value on the dashboard
2. Earn Yield: Shares automatically appreciate as the vault generates returns
3. Compound: Yield is automatically reinvested (no manual action required)
4. Withdraw Anytime: Redeem shares using the Withdraw Guide

Troubleshooting

"Request Pending" for Too Long

If your request remains pending beyond 2 hours:

• Check that you're connected to Base Sepolia
• The keeper service may be temporarily delayed
• Contact support on Discord if issue persists

"Insufficient Liquidity" for Instant Deposit

The InstantLiquidityPool may not have enough liquidity:

• Try a smaller amount
• Use standard deposit instead
• Check back later when liquidity is replenished

Auto-Claim Not Executing

If auto-claim is enabled but not executing:

• Ensure you had sufficient balance for the 0.1% fee
• Check the Fulfillment Queue for status
• Manual claim is always available as backup

Transaction Failed

Common causes:

• Insufficient gas (ETH) for transaction fees
• Amount below minimum deposit requirement
• Network congestion (try again in a few minutes)
