Get started with Vaults. Vaults simplify parts of liquidity management by using automated strategies. You deposit assets into a Vault, and the strategy manages the underlying liquidity according to its design.
Vault deposits involve risk, including strategy risk, smart contract risk, token price movement, slippage, liquidity conditions, transaction costs, and market conditions. Yield is not guaranteed.

​
The basic idea

Vaults follow a simple flow:
Vaults may require less manual management than standard liquidity positions, but you should still review your Vault position, strategy details, risks, and transaction prompts.

Deposit and withdraw with one token

Orca Vaults may support single-token deposits and withdrawals. You can enter or exit a Vault position using one asset where supported. Autoswap may swap tokens to help match the required Vault deposit or withdrawal ratio. For example:
  • Deposit using only SOL into a SOL–USDC Vault, where supported
  • Withdraw into only USDC, where supported
You do not need to swap manually before depositing or withdrawing, but you should still review the quoted output, price impact, fees, slippage setting, route source, and final amounts before confirming.

​
What you will need

Before using Vaults:
  • A funded and connected wallet
  • At least one of the required tokens for your chosen Vault
  • Enough SOL to cover network fees and any required account costs
