Permissions & access

Public vs. private vaults, depositor whitelists, enabled assets, and deposit limits.

Chamber vaults have two separate access controls:

  • Who can deposit — public (anyone) or private (whitelisted addresses).

  • What the vault can hold — the set of enabled assets, capped at 12.

Both are set by the manager and can be changed later. Trader access (who can execute trades on the vault's behalf) is covered separately in Trader delegation.

Public vs. private vaults

Every vault has a privacy setting.

  • Public. Anyone with a wallet on the vault's chain can deposit. This is the default for managers who want open participation.

  • Private. Only addresses the manager has added to the depositor whitelist can deposit.

A vault can switch between public and private at any time. Flipping a public vault to private doesn't remove existing depositors — they keep their holdings and can withdraw normally. It just stops new unapproved deposits.

Managing the depositor whitelist (private vaults)

When a vault is private, the manager maintains a list of approved depositor addresses.

  • Add. Paste an address into the whitelist in vault settings. That address can now deposit.

  • Remove. Remove an address from the whitelist. They can no longer deposit.

Removing a whitelisted address does not force them out. If the address already has a deposit, those holdings stay in the vault and the depositor can still withdraw normally. They just can't add more funds.

This is deliberate: the manager controls who can enter, but can't seize or lock existing positions.

When private vaults make sense

  • Friends-and-family vaults where you want a known depositor set.

  • Strategy vaults for a specific partner or allocator.

  • Paid trading group — managers running a subscription service or paid cohort can gate vault access to subscribers by whitelisting only their addresses.

Enabled assets

The set of enabled assets controls what the vault can hold and trade. You pick the initial set during vault creation — up to 12 assets enabled at once, chosen from the chain's supported categories (crypto, stablecoins, lending, leverage, LP, yield).

You can change the set later in vault settings:

  • Enable a new asset at any time, up to the 12-asset cap.

  • Disable an asset — only if the vault doesn't currently hold any of it. If there's a position in that asset, close it first, then disable.

The 12-asset cap keeps vaults legible for depositors and bounds the surface area the Guard System has to enforce. Each enabled asset also adds gas cost to every deposit, withdrawal, and NAV calculation — so keep the set to assets you actually plan to trade.

Changes to enabled assets take effect immediately — there's no announcement period (unlike fee changes, which have a 14-day notice window).

Deposit limits

Two optional limits on deposit size, both set from vault settings.

Minimum deposit

The smallest USD amount a depositor can add in a single deposit.

  • Default: $0 (no minimum).

  • Set it to reduce dust positions, control depositor count, or signal the vault is for larger allocations.

Maximum supply cap

Upper limit on total vault size. Once reached, new deposits are rejected until someone withdraws.

  • Default: no limit.

  • Expressed in the vault's denomination asset (USD).

  • Use it to cap strategy capacity — some strategies perform worse at larger sizes.
