Create Your First Vault

A walkthrough of the vault creation process.

What is a Vault?

A vault is a smart contract that holds your funds and defines your trading parameters. The bot trades within these parameters, but only YOU can withdraw funds.

Each vault is for a specific token pair (like SOL/USDC). You can create multiple vaults for different pairs or different strategies.

Creating a Vault

1

Choose Your Token Pair

Select the two tokens you want to trade. Common pairs include:

  • SOL/USDC — Trade SOL against the stablecoin USDC
  • JUP/USDC — Trade JUP against USDC
  • Any SPL token pair — As long as there's liquidity on Jupiter
2

Set Your Price Range

Define the lower and upper bounds for your grid:

Lower Price
$180
The lowest price you expect. Buy orders are placed here.
Upper Price
$220
The highest price you expect. Sell orders are placed here.

Choose a range where you think the price will oscillate. Too wide = fewer trades. Too narrow = risk of price leaving your range.

3

Set Grid Levels

Grid levels determine how many buy/sell points exist in your range. More levels = smaller trades but more frequent.

Grid Levels
10 levels
With a $180-$220 range and 10 levels, orders are placed every $4.

Example:

$180 - $220 range with 10 levels = grid lines at $180, $184, $188, $192, $196, $200, $204, $208, $212, $216, $220

Choose Grid Mode

Two options for how grid levels are spaced:

Arithmetic

Equal price distance between levels. Best for smaller, tighter ranges.

Geometric

Equal percentage distance between levels. Best for wider ranges.

If you're not sure, go with Arithmetic. It's simpler and works well for most cases.

5

Review & Deposit

Review your settings, then deposit your tokens. You'll need both tokens of the pair (e.g., SOL and USDC for a SOL/USDC vault).

The vault will show you a recommended split based on current price and your range.

6

Activate

Once deposited, your vault goes live. The bot will start monitoring prices and executing trades within your parameters.

You can pause or adjust settings anytime from the vault's settings page.
