Delegate a Deposit to a Vault

Vault delegation lets a vault manager adjust your rates for you. Your USDC does not move to the vault manager. Delegation changes rate management, not custody.

What delegation does

When you delegate a deposit, the vault manager updates your pricing on your behalf. Your USDC stays in your wallet.

Tip: Vaults auto-adjust your rates to stay competitive. Your deposit stays in your wallet.

Who is this for

Use delegation if you do not want to manage rates yourself.

If you want to keep control of your own pricing and floor rates, use Automated Rate Management (ARM) instead.

How to turn it on

On the new-deposit form, open the options stack and turn on Delegate to Vault.

Choosing a vault

You can sort the vault list by Volume or APR. The panel shows up to three vaults at a time. If there are more matches, use the pagination dots to move between pages.

Each vault card shows Vol, APR, and Managed. Verified vaults show a green check.

If no vault matches your payment method and currency, you will see No compatible vaults.

What happens after deposit

After your deposit is created, a follow-up step appears for the vault you selected. Click Delegate to Vault and confirm the transaction. When delegation succeeds, the deposit shows Delegated with the vault name; if delegation fails or the vault can't accept it, the follow-up card shows the error and lets you retry or view the deposit undelegated.
