In this guide, you will learn how to create and manage a Vault on the Defindex 🔁 dApp Testnet, step by step. This platform allows you to strategically manage assets, interact with different investment options, and perform secure tests in a testnet environment.

👉🏽 https://www.defindex.io/

Set Up Your Wallet

To begin, you need a compatible wallet. Defindex 🔁 supports Freighter, Xbull, and Lobstr wallets.

Choose one of the supported wallets and follow the instructions to connect it to the Defindex Testnet dApp.

Mint Test Tokens

If you don’t have any test tokens in your wallet, you can mint them directly on the platform.

How to mint tokens?
Simply navigate to the minting page, select the amount of test tokens you wish to receive, and mint them into your wallet.

Create Vault

Once your wallet is connected and you have test tokens, you can create a new vault.

• Click on “Add Vault”: This starts the vault creation process.
• Enter a Name and Symbol (Ticker): Choose a name and symbol for your vault. This will help you identify the vault in the future.

💡Tip: Keep your vault names simple and meaningful to easily differentiate them later.

Add Investment Strategies

To define how the funds in your vault will be managed, add one or more strategies:

Click on “Add Strategy”: Choose the strategy you want to link to your vault.

Choose Your Strategy:

• HODL: Keep the assets long-term with no changes.
• Blend: Mix different strategies for diversified investments.
• Fixed: Use a pre-defined, fixed return strategy.

Configure Vault Details

Before finalizing your vault, make sure to configure the following

Review Your Strategies: Ensure the strategies linked to your vault are correct.

Manager Settings

Provide the address of the Manager and Emergency Manager.

Manager: Responsible for rebalancing the vault, making emergency withdrawals, and investing idle funds.

Emergency Manager: Has the authority to withdraw assets in case of an emergency.

Set Up Fees

Configure how the vault will handle fees:

Fee Receiver: The address that will receive the fees (could be the Manager or another entity).

Fee Percentage: Define the fee percentage, which will be deducted from the vault's earnings (recommended between 0.5% to 2% APR).

Deploy the Vault

Now that all details are configured, you are ready to deploy your vault:

Click on “Deploy”: This will generate a transaction that you need to approve.

Review Transaction Details: Before finalizing, ensure that everything is correct, such as the vault address and gas fees.

Sign the Transaction: Once reviewed, sign the transaction through your wallet to deploy the vault.

✅ Congratulations Your vault is now deployed and ready for interaction.

Interacting with a Vault

Once your vault is deployed, you can start interacting with it:

Access the Vault: Click on the vault you want to interact with to see available options.

Select an Action:
Deposit: Add funds to the vault, which will be automatically invested based on the vault's strategy.

Emergency Withdraw: Withdraw investments from strategies and keep funds idle in the vault. (Only accessible by the Manager or Emergency Manager.)

Withdraw: Withdraw your position (dfTokens) from the vault.

View Vault Information and Add Liquidity

You can view all available vaults along with their details, such as:

Name: The vault’s name.
Address: The vault's blockchain address.
TVL (Total Value Locked): The current total value locked in the vault.
User Balance: Your balance within the vault.
