# Timelock

Certain vault actions that could negatively impact user interests (e.g., increasing leverage limits or modifying risk parameters) are protected by a **timelock**. This ensures users have adequate time to respond, such as withdrawing their funds if they disagree with proposed changes, and offers critical protection if vault owner keys are compromised.

**Key Features:**

* The **Owner** or **Guardian** can revoke pending actions during the timelock
* Timelock durations can range from 0 to a delay of up to 2 weeks (minimum of 24 hours recommended)

**Owner Actions Subject to Timelock:**

* Vault Upgrades
* Oracle Configuration Changes
* Ownership Transfer or Renouncement
* Gurdian Assignment or Replacement
* Reduction of Timelock Duration
* Asset Configuration Adjustment :

  (e.g., adding/removing whitelisted assets, increasing exposure caps)
* Lending Pool Configuration Adjustment :

  (e.g., adding/removing whitelisted pools, increasing exposure limits)
* Increasing Leverage Cap

#### Vault Upgradability

* Affluent Vault is designed to be upgradable to:
  * Maintain liquidity continuity even if transactions fail, distinct from EVM environments
  * Support necessary oracle integrations when introducing new assets
* After ownership is renounced, a vault becomes non-upgradable and immutable
