# Allocation Prerequisites

> Requirements before allocating vault funds

Before allocating vault funds, ensure you have:

## 1. Manager Keypair And SOL

The **manager** signs allocation transactions and pays for any ATA creation or other protocol-side rent.

## 2. Reliable RPC

Use a stable Solana RPC endpoint.

## 3. Manager Authority

Your signer must match the vault's configured manager.

## 4. Initialized Strategies

Funds can only be deployed to strategies that were already initialized. If needed, start with [Strategy Setup Guide](/vault-owners/strategies/setup-guide).

## 5. SDK Dependencies

```bash theme={null}
npm install @voltr/vault-sdk @solana/kit
```

Add token or legacy Solana packages only when another protocol integration requires them.
