# Chain capabilities matrix

The chain you pick when you [create a vault](/manage/create-a-vault.md) determines what the vault can do. Not every strategy is available on every chain — it depends on which protocols Chamber has integrated and which the [Guard System](/security/guard-system.md) has approved there.

The chain is fixed for the life of the vault. If you need a capability that isn't on your chain, you'll need to create a second vault on a chain that supports it.

| Ethereum |   ✓  |    ✓    |     ✓    |     |       |

| HyperEVM |   ✓  |         |          |     |   ✓   |

HyperEVM is the only chain with perps today, and it's in early access — see below.

## What each capability means

* **Spot.** Swap between the vault's enabled tokens via supported DEX aggregators (Odos, 1inch, KyberSwap, CoW Swap, Toros, Pendle).
* **Lending.** Supply assets to lending markets (Aave, Compound-style) and hold the interest-bearing receipt token.
* **Leverage.** Open leveraged spot positions through integrated lending loops.
* **LP.** Provide liquidity on supported DEXes and hold the LP position as a vault asset.
* **Perps.** Perpetual futures. Currently HyperEVM only, via Hyperliquid.

## HyperEVM and Hyperliquid perps

Perps on HyperEVM are gated. Chamber runs a **Hyperliquid early-access program** — only approved managers can deploy perps vaults today. It's not a permissionless feature yet.

If you want to run a perps vault and aren't in the program, reach out via [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/BAWTbRA) or the [manager programs](/manage/manager-programs.md) page.

## Picking a chain

Pick the chain where your depositors already are and where the protocols you want to use are live.
