Depositing into a Strategy

Users can directly deposit their assets into Protected Single Pools. The kind of asset you can deposit depends on the main asset of the pool you're investing in. For instance, if you're investing in the alETH strategy, you can deposit either ETH or wrapped ETH. Please note that at this time, the protocol is designed to accept deposits of main asset types like ETH, wrapped ETH, and does not include the underlying protocol tokens of the strategy like alETH, msETH, or pETH.

When you're preparing to deposit your collateral, the user interface will clearly indicate which types of assets are acceptable for deposit.

Shares

When entering the amount of collateral you would like to deposit, the UI will dynamically update to account for this number. Underneath the ‘Deposit’ field, you will see the following text “=X.XX Shares”. This number represents your share of the vault youre depositing into.
