Depositing is how you put money to work in Hako. You still keep full control: you can request a withdrawal later and receive assets back in your wallet.
You send supported assets from your wallet into a Hako vault, and in return you receive vault shares that represent your ownership. From that moment, the vault can deploy assets across supported strategies and networks.
What to expect: you may need to approve the asset before your first deposit, and you will pay network fees (gas) for onchain transactions.
1. Choose network and token
The app will show your balance for that token and the current vault APY for the Hako vault.
2. Enter amount
The app shows the token amount. Check that everything looks correct and that you have enough balance and gas.
If something looks wrong, re-check your wallet network, token balance, and that you have enough gas for the selected network.
3. Approve the token
Click Approve, then confirm the approval transaction in your wallet. This gives the vault permission to use that token for deposits.
4. Confirm the deposit
After approval, confirm Deposit.
Your wallet opens a transaction with the deposit details. Confirm it and wait for it to be confirmed on-chain. The app will show the transaction as pending and then completed.
5. Check your position
When the transaction is confirmed:
Your deposit appears as a vault balance in the app.
You now hold vault shares representing your ownership.
Over time, the value of this position will move with the performance of the vault's strategy.
You don’t need to claim rewards manually; everything is reflected in your vault balance and vault share value.
