Everything You Need to Know
Straightforward answers to common questions about VaultX, the VLT token, and how to participate in the protocol.
What is VaultX and how does it work?
VaultX is a non-custodial DeFi protocol for trustless asset management, cross-chain liquidity, and yield optimization. Users connect wallets and interact directly with smart contracts — VaultX never takes custody of assets. The protocol operates across 12+ blockchain networks and automatically rebalances to maximize yield while managing risk exposure.
What is the VLT token and what is it used for?
VLT is the native governance and utility token. Holders vote on protocol upgrades, fee parameters, and treasury allocation. Staking VLT earns a share of protocol fees. Holding VLT provides up to 50% transaction fee discounts, and stakers receive priority access to new vault strategies before public launch.
Has VaultX been audited? Is it safe to use?
Yes — smart contracts have been audited by CertiK (98/100), Trail of Bits, and Halborn Security. All reports are publicly available on GitHub. We run a continuous bug bounty program with rewards up to $500,000 for critical vulnerabilities. Security is reviewed quarterly and after every major upgrade.
How is VaultX different from other DeFi protocols?
Three key differences: (1) True cross-chain native support across 12 networks — not bridged tokens. (2) Institutional-grade risk management built directly into vault strategies. (3) A governance model with no team veto power after the 12-month cliff ends — decisions are made entirely by VLT holders.
What are the risks of using VaultX?
Like all DeFi protocols, VaultX carries smart contract risk, market risk, and liquidity risk. While we minimize these through rigorous auditing and conservative vault design, no DeFi protocol is risk-free. Only deploy assets you can afford to lose, diversify across vaults, and stay informed on governance decisions.
How do I get VLT tokens?
VLT is available on Uniswap v3, SushiSwap, Curve, Binance, Kraken, and KuCoin. Always verify the contract address from our official website before purchasing. Never buy from unofficial sources or DMs claiming to be VaultX team members.
How does VaultX governance work?
VaultX uses on-chain governance via Vault Improvement Proposals (VIPs). Any holder with 10,000+ VLT can create a proposal. Voting is open for 7 days, requiring 4% quorum to pass. The DAO treasury holds $42M for ecosystem development. Voting is gasless on Polygon and Arbitrum.
What is the total and circulating supply of VLT?
Fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) VLT — this can never increase. About 285M (28.5%) is currently circulating, with the remainder under vesting schedules. Full details including each allocation’s cliff and vesting duration are on the Tokenomics page.
How do I participate in governance?
Connect your wallet at app.vaultx.io and visit the Governance section. You can delegate voting power to an active delegate, or vote directly on proposals. Visit the Governance page for live proposals and voting history.
What chains does VaultX currently support?
Currently supported: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Fantom, Base, zkSync Era, Linea, Scroll, and Mantle — 12 networks total. Solana and Cosmos integration are planned for Q3/Q4 2025 following the IBC compatibility module deployment.
