This guide explains how vault managers allocate funds between the vault’s idle account and initialized strategies.
Overview
As a vault manager, you have the authority to:
- Deploy idle funds from the vault into active strategies
- Withdraw funds from strategies back to the vault
- Monitor current allocations and performance
Key Concepts
Idle vs. Deployed Funds
- Idle Funds: Assets sitting in the vault’s idle token account, not earning yield
- Deployed Funds: Assets actively working in strategies (lending, trading, LP)
- Total Assets: Sum of idle and deployed funds
Fund Flow
User Deposits → Vault Idle Account → Strategy Accounts
Strategy Accounts → Vault Idle Account → User Withdrawals
Keep some funds idle to service user withdrawals. If all funds are deployed, users may experience delays during the withdrawal process.
