# Vault Overview ### Motivation Vault has one loan asset and can allocate deposits to multiple pools. Vaults offer users a way to provide liquidity and earn interest passively. They have a system to automate risk management so that users are not required to make these decisions. Instead, Vault actively curates a risk exposure for all deposited assets. The Vaults operate in a non-custodial way and users maintain full control over their assets. Users can look at the state of the vault at any time and withdraw their liquidity at their discretion. ### Features * **Supply Liquidity and Auto-rebalance** : Users can supply their assets into the Vault, which automatically allocates liquidity across multiple strategies. The system continuously monitors market conditions and rebalances positions to ensure optimal performance without user intervention. * **Shared Liquidity : V**aults enable liquidity sharing among multiple pools, maximizing capital efficiency. This pooled approach reduces idle assets and enhances the overall utilization rate across the ecosystem. * **Optimize Risk-adjusted Return :** Vault managers assess the risk and return profile of each liquidity pool to allocate assets strategically. By focusing on maximizing returns relative to the level of risk, it ensures users gain the best possible yield while maintaining a prudent approach to capital deployment. * **Tailored Risk Management** : Each Vault is designed to cater to varying risk appetites, allowing users to choose investment strategies that align with their individual preferences. By offering a range of options with different risk-return profiles, vaults enable users to manage their exposure effectively while pursuing strategies that suit their financial goals. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
