You need a minimum of $1 USD equivalent in collateral to lock as your initial stake. This locked liquidity cannot be withdrawn while the vault is active.<br>
Can I change my vault's name or description after creation?
Yes, you can update all metadata fields (name, description, curator information, logo URL, etc.) at any time using your vault owner capability.<br>
What happens if I don't process a withdrawal request in time?
If the withdraw request's force withdrawal delay expires, the depositor (or Aftermath on their behalf) can perform a force withdrawal. This closes positions at market prices without regard to your strategy, potentially resulting in suboptimal execution for all vault participants.<br>
Can I close my vault?
There is no explicit "close vault" function. However, you can close all positions, set the deposit cap to zero to prevent new deposits, and allow existing depositors to withdraw their funds.<br>
What markets can my vault trade?
Vaults can trade on any perpetuals market available on Aftermath Perpetuals, up to 12 different markets simultaneously.<br>
Can I withdraw my locked liquidity?
No. Your initial locked liquidity remains in the vault permanently while it operates. This ensures you have skin in the game and aligns your interests with depositors.<br>
How do I collect my earned fees?
Curator fees accumulate in the vault as depositors withdraw at a profit. You can withdraw your accumulated fees at any time through our frontend.<br>
What happens to pending orders during a force withdrawal?
All pending orders for a position are cancelled before a force withdrawal processes. This is necessary to accurately calculate the position value and execute the withdrawal.<br>
What if a depositor's force withdrawal would leave positions under-margined?
The force withdrawal mechanism includes safeguards to ensure positions maintain adequate margin ratios. Positions may be partially closed to free up collateral while keeping remaining positions healthy.<br>
Do I earn fees if depositors withdraw at a loss?
No. Curator fees only apply to profits. If a depositor's withdrawal value is less than or equal to their deposit value, no fee is charged.
