# Overview

Chamber gives managers the infrastructure to run an onchain vault. Managers never take custody of depositor funds. The vault holds them, and the [Guard System](/security/guard-system.md) enforces what the manager can and cannot do with them. Anyone can create a vault.

## Two ways to run a vault

Managers run a vault manually, programmatically, or a mix of both:

* **Manual.** Trade directly in the web app. Built-in [TradingView charts](/manage/trading.md), full UI control.
* **Automated.** Run a bot via the [SDK](/build/sdk.md) or direct contract calls. Rebalance on a schedule or signal. Many managers use an LLM to help write that automation.

A single vault can use both. The Guard System applies the same constraints either way.
