Vault Initialization Guide

This guide helps you get from zero to a fully operational vault. There are two paths depending on your needs.

Choose Your Path

	UI Path	SDK Path
Best for	MPC Wallets requiring browser experience (admin actions only)	Everything else
Vault creation	Yes	Yes
Config updates	Yes	Yes
Metadata setup	Yes	Yes
Strategy initialization	No — requires scripts	Yes
Fund allocation	No — requires scripts	Yes

Note: Recommendation: Use the UI for vault creation and config management, then use the SDK + protocol-specific scripts for strategy initialization and fund allocation. Most vault managers use both.

Common Prerequisites

Regardless of which path you choose, you'll need:

1. A Solana wallet with sufficient SOL (~0.15 SOL for vault creation + ongoing transaction fees)

2. An RPC endpoint — a reliable Solana RPC provider (e.g., Helius, Triton, QuickNode)

3. Admin and manager keypairs — two separate Solana keypairs for role separation

4. A clear plan for your vault — which asset, which strategies, target fees
