Investor guide

Go from a new account to a live requirement: sign up with your wallet, create a vault, deposit funds and tell StratPool what you want to trade.

Before you start

  • A browser wallet, or a mobile wallet that supports WalletConnect.
  • Native tokens to pay gas on the chain you choose.
  • Funds on that chain. Vaults are available on Ethereum, Base and the Sepolia testnet, which is the safest place to try the flow first.

1. Create your account

  1. Open Sign up and enter your first name, last name and email.
  2. Select Continue.
  3. Choose your wallet, then sign the message it shows. Signing is free and sends no transaction.
The Create your account form with name and email fields
Enter your details, then select Continue.
The wallet connection dialog listing available wallets
Choose the wallet that will own your account and vault.

2. Create your vault

Your vault is a smart contract that holds your deposits and belongs only to your wallet.

  1. Go to the home page and select Invest. If you have no vault on the current chain, you'll land on the Create your vault page.
  2. Pick a network with the selector in the navbar.
  3. Select Create vault and confirm the transaction in your wallet. This costs gas.
The Create your vault card with a Connect wallet button
Vault creation takes one transaction.

You get one vault per chain. Switching network in the navbar takes you to your vault on that chain.

3. Deposit funds

  1. Open the Vault page in your dashboard.
  2. To use an ERC-20 token such as USDC, type its symbol under Add an ERC-20 token and select Add. ETH is always listed.
  3. Select Deposit, choose the asset and enter an amount.
  4. Confirm in your wallet. ERC-20 tokens need an approval transaction before the deposit.

If your asset is on another chain, bridge it to the chain you selected and deposit it there first. Prefer to post through an AI assistant? See the MCP server guide.

5. Track your results

The Invest page lists your requirements, newest first.

Two requirements, one matched and strategized with realized profit, one still open
Values shown are examples.

6. Withdraw

  1. Open the Vault page and select Withdraw.
  2. Choose the asset and enter an amount up to the Withdrawable balance.
  3. Confirm in your wallet. Funds always go to the wallet that owns the vault.
