Deposit & Withdraw

DEPOSIT

Deposit into the vault, and a receipt token is minted to your wallet automatically. Your deposit starts earning immediately.

Zapin vs Dual-Asset Deposit (CLMM)

You can enter a vault two ways:

Single-Sided (Zap).

Deposit one token. The contract swaps part of it into whatever else the strategy needs. This is the default and the most convenient for CLMM vaults that normally need both assets in an exact ratio.

Dual-Asset.

For CLMM vaults, you can also deposit both pair assets directly. Entering one token amount automatically calculates the second token amount based on current ratio. This skips the internal swap, so you pay less slippage.

For lending and LST vaults, only single-sided applies — there's only one asset in the vault.

Slippage & Price Impact

If your deposit needs an internal swap (most single-sided ones do), there's a small price impact. AlphaFi shows you the estimated received amount and minimum guaranteed amount before you sign.

You can adjust slippage tolerance in the deposit modal. The default works for most cases. Tighten it for stable pairs, loosen it during volatile markets.

WITHDRAW

How Withdrawing works?

Withdrawing burns your receipt tokens and returns your share of the vault.

For LP vaults, the contract closes part of the position. For lending vaults, it redeems from the lending protocol. No lockup on any standard vault — withdraw anytime. (The ALPHA Locked Vault is the exception, with a 100-day lock and 50% early-exit penalty. See the ALPHA Token section.)

Withdraw Flow (Step by Step)

1. Find the vault you want to exit
2. Click Withdraw
3. Enter the amount
4. Click Withdraw and sign
5. Funds land in your wallet

Pending ALPHA rewards aren't auto-claimed on withdrawal. Use the Collect button on the Portfolio page to grab them — either before or after.
