# FAQ

## Is Chamber custodial?

No. A Chamber vault is a smart contract that holds depositor assets under the manager's trading rules. The manager can trade within the vault's [enabled assets](/manage/permissions-access.md) but cannot withdraw depositor funds — that's enforced at the contract level by the [Guard System](/security/guard-system.md).

## What does it cost to deposit?

Whatever the vault manager sets: entry (0–2%), exit (0–2%), performance (0–50%), and annualised management (0–3%). Chamber takes a 10% cut of each fee; the rest goes to the manager. Fees are paid in vault shares, not the deposit asset. See [Fees and performance](/manage/fees-performance.md).

## How do I withdraw?

Two methods: **single-asset** (the vault liquidates a pro-rata slice of its holdings and returns your chosen asset — may incur slippage) or **underlying basket** (you receive a pro-rata slice of every asset the vault holds, no vault-side swaps). See [Lockup and withdrawals](/deposit/lockup-withdrawals.md).

## Is there a lockup?

Yes — up to 24 hours after a deposit, weighted across deposits. Top-ups extend the remaining lockup proportionally; they don't reset it. Shares can't be transferred or withdrawn during the lockup. See [Lockup and withdrawals](/deposit/lockup-withdrawals.md).

## How are vault prices calculated?

The vault contract enumerates every holding, prices each via oracles (Chainlink, Pyth, or TWAP — chosen per asset at the protocol level), sums them, and divides by total shares outstanding. All onchain. See [NAV and accounting](/concepts/nav-accounting.md) and [Oracles](/concepts/oracles.md).

## What happens if a manager behaves badly?

Bad trades within the vault's rules are possible and the depositor carries that risk. Bad actions outside the rules (trading non-allowlisted assets, calling non-allowlisted protocols, extracting depositor funds) are blocked at the contract level. See [Risk model](/security/risk-model.md).

## How do I integrate Chamber into my app?

Public integrator surfaces: [SDK](/build/sdk.md), [Data API](/build/data-api.md), [Subgraph](/build/subgraph.md), [MCP server](/build/mcp-server.md), or the contracts directly. Start with [Build overview](/build/overview.md).

## Where do I ask something not answered here?

[Discord](https://discord.com/invite/BAWTbRA) for general questions. For security issues, **use the** [**Immunefi bug bounty**](https://immunefi.com/bounty/dhedge/)**, not Discord**.
