  1. ⁉️ Frequently Asked Questions

📥 For Vaults depositors

  1. How do I deposit into the Vault?

On the Vault’s dedicated page, enter the amount of USDT you wish to deposit and click “Deposit.” Approve the transaction in your wallet; once confirmed on-chain, your deposit becomes active.

  1. Which tokens can I deposit?

Currently, the Vault accepts USDT. Future updates may include additional stablecoins or other crypto assets.

  1. Is there a minimum or maximum deposit amount?

Currently, there is no minimum or maximum deposit amount for Vaults.

  1. How do I track the performance of my deposits?

On the Vault’s page, select “Your Performance” to view historical returns and current yield.

Your Portfolio page will display your total balance across all Vaults if you have multiple positions.

  1. How do I withdraw from the Vault?

On the Vault’s page, click the “Withdraw” button, enter the desired amount, and confirm the transaction. Your USDT will be returned to your wallet after processing.

  1. How does the Vault remain market-neutral?

The Vault employs rebalancing strategies to hedge against market movements. Its earnings come predominantly from trading and liquidation fees rather than directional exposure.

  1. What risks are involved?

  • Smart Contract Risk Like all DeFi protocols, our Vault relies on smart contracts that may contain vulnerabilities despite thorough audits and testing.

  • Market and Liquidity Risk Our strategy is designed to be market-neutral; however, under extreme market conditions or periods of insufficient liquidity, strategies might not perform as expected, potentially impacting returns.

  • Platform Operational Risk Rho Protocol depends on continuous operational security and infrastructure reliability. Any disruption or downtime could temporarily impact users' ability to manage or access funds.

  • Withdrawal Execution Risk Large withdrawals or withdrawals during low liquidity periods may incur higher costs or unfavorably impact market prices when unwinding vault positions and hedges, reducing the final amount received compared to initial estimates.

  1. How are fees and yields calculated?

The Vault earns a share of trading and liquidation fees, which contribute to its overall APY. The yield may vary based on market conditions and trading volume; real-time data is available on our dashboard. 100% of the yield goes to the users.

  1. Do I pay any fees to deposit or withdraw?

Rho Vaults follow a zero-fee model. You won’t incur any additional fees when depositing or withdrawing your liquidity.

However, standard blockchain network (gas) fees still apply for on-chain transactions. Additionally, larger withdrawals or low-liquidity conditions may lead to higher transaction costs or market impacts when unwinding vault positions, reducing the final withdrawal amount.

  1. How often does the Vault rebalance its strategy?

The Vault adjusts its liquidity allocation based on real-time market conditions, ensuring that capital is deployed where it is most effective.

  1. Is my principal guaranteed?

No. While the Vault is designed to be market-neutral, there is no guarantee against losses. Users should be aware of the inherent risks before depositing.

  1. Where can I find more technical details?

For further information, please visit our technical documentation, which includes smart contract addresses, audit reports, and a deeper explanation of the Vault’s strategies. ADD LINKS HERE

  1. Is there an auto-compounding feature?

The Vault reinvests earned fees, increasing your overall position over time.

  1. Which blockchain do Vaults operate on?

Rho Protocol is built on Arbitrum. If you’re new to this network, please refer to our bridging guide for more information. Cross-chain deposit is also available on our platform.
