Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Q: What is JVAULT?
A: JVAULT is a decentralized investment vault on Base L2 that generates returns through market-making strategies. Users deposit USDC and receive JVAULT tokens representing their share of the vault.
Q: How does JVAULT make money?
A: The vault generates returns by providing liquidity and market-making across DeFi protocols and exchanges. 80% of deposited capital is actively deployed to capture trading spreads and arbitrage opportunities.

- Weekly batch settlements for predictable withdrawals
- Lock period bonuses for long-term commitment
- Transparent market-making strategy

Deposits & Withdrawals
Q: Why can I only withdraw on Sundays?
A: Weekly batch settlements allow the vault to:
- Efficiently close all trading positions
- Calculate accurate NAV based on realized P&L
- Process all withdrawals fairly at the same price
- Minimize gas costs through batching
- Maintain optimal capital deployment
Q: What happens if I need emergency access to my funds?
A: Unfortunately, there is no emergency withdrawal mechanism. This is by design to ensure optimal capital deployment. Only invest funds you won't need immediate access to.
Q: Can I cancel a withdrawal request?
A: No, withdrawal requests cannot be canceled once submitted. Your JVAULT tokens are immediately locked and will be processed on the next Sunday settlement.
NAV & Pricing
Q: Why does the NAV fluctuate?
A: NAV reflects the performance of the underlying market-making strategy. When trading generates profits, NAV increases. During losses or poor market conditions, NAV may decrease. This is normal and expected.
Q: How often is NAV updated?
A: NAV is updated every Sunday at 07:00 UTC+7 during the weekly settlement. This reflects the realized performance of all trading activities for that week.
Q: What if JVAULT trades at a premium/discount to NAV?
A: Arbitrage mechanisms keep the market price close to NAV:
- Premium: Users can deposit USDC at NAV and sell tokens at market price
- Discount: Users can buy tokens at market price and redeem at NAV
