Participation Guide: NFT Time-Lock Vaults
How It Works
-
Deposit into the Vault:
- Users deposit liquidity into an NFT Time-Lock Vault and receive a liquid-backed NFT in return.
- If a user doesn’t hold the specific vault token, they can use Zapper to deposit using any token from any chain — all with the same single click deposit.
- The deposited liquidity is then routed to the partner’s vault to generate multi-layered yield.
-
Earn Yield:
- While in the Vault, users earn auto-compounded yield from:
- Bribes from partnered protocols
- Lending or LP yield generated by the deposited assets
- Emissions and incentives from the underlying vault
- Vault fees, including:
- Royalties
- Zapper fees
- Borrowing interest
- Borrowing liquidation fees
- Instant redemption fees
- While in the Vault, users earn auto-compounded yield from:
-
Trade or Borrow Vault Positions:
- Borrow: The Unified Borrowing System allows users to borrow USDC against any position across our products — including LP tokens and liquid-backed NFTs.
- Trade: Users can trade their vault positions on supported marketplaces, providing liquidity and flexibility even during the lock-up period.
- Withdraw or Exit:
- Users can redeem their liquidity during the lock-in period by paying a fee, using the Instant Redemption option (if enabled by partners).
- Users can claim their liquidity or bribes at the end of the lock-up period or just it let stay there and still earn all the yield - compounded.
