# Vaults ## **Key Vault Functions** * Token deployment is a core responsibility of each vault. The system accepts FXRP deposits from stakers and these tokens are in secure smart contracts. * The vault handles all aspects of the token, from initial deposit through to final withdrawal, with every transaction recorded on-chain. * LST issuance represents another critical vault function. Upon receiving deposits, vaults mint stXRP tokens proportional to the amount staked and the current exchange rate. * When users wish to exit their positions, the vault burns the corresponding stXRP and releases the underlying FXRP. ## **Vault Architecture** The vault system implements the ERC-4626 standard, ensuring compatibility and composability with DeFi protocols across the Flare ecosystem. The non-custodial design ensures users maintain control through cryptographic means rather than entrusting a centralized entity with their assets. The vault maintains full reserve backing between FXRP locked and stXRP issued.

Vault Architecture

## **Launch Vault Specifications** * This vault accepts only FXRP as the deposited asset and issues stXRP as the liquid staking token. * The initial exchange rate is set at 1:1, providing clarity and simplicity for early adopters. * During the launch phase, there is zero slashing risk, allowing users to familiarize themselves with the system without concern for penalties. * Deposit caps will be implemented and adjusted dynamically based on demand, ensuring controlled growth and system stability. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
