Getting started

Connect a wallet

_gamma is non-custodial, so everything starts with your own wallet. Connecting a wallet lets you deposit, hold your share tokens, and redeem — all signed by you. _gamma never holds your keys or your assets. Click Connect in the app and choose your wallet, then approve the connection request; this only grants the app permission to request signatures, never to move funds on its own.

Supported wallets (Solana):

Wallet	Notes
Phantom	Browser extension and mobile.
Solflare	Browser extension and mobile.
Ledger	Hardware wallet, via a supported wallet.
Others	Additional Solana wallets are supported.

On mobile, use your wallet app's in-app browser or the deep-link connection flow — you approve each transaction inside your wallet app. For larger balances, a hardware wallet such as Ledger keeps your private key on the device and has you physically confirm each signature.

Connecting a wallet lets the app read your public address and build transactions for you to review and sign. It does not give _gamma access to your private keys, and it does not authorize any transfer — every deposit, withdrawal, and claim is a separate transaction you explicitly approve. Verify you are on the correct _gamma URL before connecting, read each transaction before approving, and disconnect when done on shared devices.

Deposit funds

Make sure your connected wallet holds the asset the vault takes, plus a little SOL for transaction fees. There is no minimum deposit and there are no lock-up periods, so you can start with any amount.

Vault	Deposit asset
gmSTBL	USDC
gmSOL	SOL
plRWA	USDC

1. Choose a vault. Open the vault (G.E.A.) you want from the app.
2. Enter an amount. The form shows the estimated shares you will receive at the current price.
3. Review. Shares are minted at the live share price (NAV / total shares), so the estimate reflects an up-to-date valuation.
4. Sign. Approve the transaction in your wallet. This is the only step that moves funds, and you control it.
5. Confirm. Once the transaction confirms on Solana, your share tokens appear in your wallet and your position shows up in your portfolio.

You receive share tokens (gmSTBL, gmSOL, or plRWA) — standard SPL tokens held in your wallet. Your position starts earning immediately, and yield shows up as share-price appreciation over time rather than as extra tokens; you never need to claim or compound manually.

Fees. There is no deposit fee. A small withdrawal fee (currently 30 bps on the live vaults, waived on full exit and retained for remaining depositors) applies when you leave; because it is a per-vault on-chain policy, read the live value from stats.withdrawalFeeBps rather than assuming a number. See Deposits & withdrawals for the full policy.

If a deposit is blocked, it is because the vault program blocks deposits when the published NAV is stale, to stop you entering at a mispriced value. This is rare and self-resolving — NAV is republished on a fixed cadence, so wait a moment and try again.

Choose a strategy

Each vault (G.E.A.) targets a different asset and risk profile. Your denomination matters: gmSOL earns in SOL terms and carries SOL price exposure, while gmSTBL and plRWA are USDC-denominated. Choose based on the asset you actually want to be long.

Vault	Asset	Profile
gmSTBL	USDC	Stablecoin yield — lending, stable rate arbitrage, RWA, fixed-yield.
gmSOL	SOL	SOL-denominated — LST optimization, SOL lending, leveraged staking.
plRWA	USDC	Institutional RWA yield on Plume; RWA rate cadence.

Reading the APY cards. Vault pages show more than one APY figure, and they mean different things:

Figure	What it means
Current APY	The vault's present blended rate across its live positions.
Solver-predicted	What the ML solver projects for its target portfolio.
Realized APY	What the vault has actually earned historically.

None of these are promises. Yields are variable and derived from on-chain state — treat predicted and current figures as estimates and realized figures as history, not a guaranteed forward return.

Allocation breakdown. Each vault page shows how the G.E.A. has allocated capital across protocols, so you can see which venues the vault is using and in what proportion. Because allocation is bounded by provider caps and on-chain position limits, expect the exposure to be diversified rather than concentrated in one protocol. See How it works.

Rewards indicators. Some positions earn protocol rewards in addition to base yield — for example Project Zero weekly reward distributions. Where these apply, the app surfaces a rewards indicator next to the APY. Watch also for x2 Points campaign badges on vault pages, which mark boosted points accrual (see the FAQ).
