📘User Guide
Welcome to Vaulter Agents, your AI-powered, non-custodial vaults that run DeFi strategies on autopilot across chains like CoreDAO, Base, and Ethereum. This guide walks you through launching an agent, funding it, linking Telegram, and managing strategies, properties, and tools.
🧭 Overview
Vaulter Agents are smart, self-custodied vaults that execute yield strategies using AI. You choose a strategy, fund the agent, and it automates the rest—staking, lending, claiming rewards, and more—while keeping you in control.
Key capabilities:
Automated strategies (e.g., BTC staking rewards, Stablecoin farming, RWA staking)
Multi-chain vault addressing (BTC + EVM)
Non-custodial operations (your vault addresses are visible and verifiable)
Telegram alerts and summaries
Fine-grained tool and token permissions
🧰 Prerequisites
A Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask) and a small amount of native gas token on your selected chain
Supported chains today include CoreDAO (1116), Base (8453), and Ethereum (1)
Optional: ASX RWA NFTs for the RWA staking strategy
🚀 Launch an Agent
Open the Agents tab and click “Launch your own DeFi AI Agent!”.
Connect your wallet if prompted (the “Connect to Launch” button triggers the wallet modal automatically).
Choose a strategy from the list and click “Launch Agent”.
In the modal:
Upload an optional agent image (stored on IPFS)
Select Strategy and enter your Agent Name
Provide a deposit amount (optional for most strategies)
For RWA staking, select ASX NFTs instead of a numeric deposit
For Bitcoin strategies, a BTC deposit address is shown
Review the Launch Service Fee (chain-dependent) displayed in the modal
Accept Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
Click “Mint & Launch Agent”.
Progress is shown with a step-by-step animation. If a step fails (mint, receipt confirmation, create, delegate, deposit), you’ll see a contextual Retry button to resume from the failed step.
Tip: Strategy defaults can automatically set your agent image and expected APY based on live protocol stats.
💳 Fund Your Agent
You can fund during launch or later from the Agent page under “Add Funds”.
BTC strategy (or when BTC is the accepted asset):
Copy the BTC address shown and send BTC from your wallet
Minimums may apply for certain operations
EVM assets (e.g., CORE, USDC):
Copy the Ethereum vault address and transfer the asset on the correct chain
Or use the in-app Deposit flow (when connected) to send tokens or native coin
RWA strategy (ASX NFTs):
Use the “Add Funds” NFT selector to transfer ASX NFTs into your vault
The selected asset to accept depends on the active strategy. For example, RWA staking accepts ASX NFTs; BTC staking accepts BTC; other strategies accept specific tokens.
🔗 Link Your Telegram
Link Telegram to receive notifications and daily summaries.
Go to User Settings → Profile
Click “Link Telegram Account”
Your wallet generates a short-lived code and opens Telegram at
@VaulterAgents_botSend the pre-filled code to the bot
The app auto-detects linking and shows “Telegram Linked” with your handle
Notes:
Codes expire after ~10 minutes; if it expires, click “Link Telegram Account” again
A Lit-based signature may be requested for additional security
The same Telegram can be linked to multiple wallets
🛠️ Manage Your Agent
Open a specific Agent to manage it. You can always see your vault’s addresses, balances, and activity.
Start/Stop Agent
If inactive, click “Start Agent” to delegate permissions and start executing the strategy
If active, click “Stop Agent” to unpermit strategy and policy apps (fully stopping execution)
Update Strategy
Go to Settings & Apps → Strategy tab:
Strategy Type: choose from available strategies (display names map to internal strategy types)
Daily Trigger Amount: set the per-day threshold in the correct unit (e.g., BTC or USDC)
Custom Prompt (Pro feature): refine execution rules. A lock icon takes you to Billing to upgrade.
Click Update/Start; the UI confirms and refreshes strategy status
Update Properties (Name & Avatar)
At the top of Settings & Apps:
Click the gear next to the agent name to edit the name inline, then save
Click the camera icon on the avatar to upload a new image (stored on IPFS), then save
Manage Tools & Tokens
Go to Settings & Apps → Tools tab:
Max Amount: set a per-transaction cap your agent can spend
Protocols: enable/disable DeFi protocols per chain; quick-select all/deselect/reset defaults
Tokens: toggle allowed token contracts; quick-select all/deselect
Click “Update Tools” to apply. Tool updates translate into precise contract/function permissions the agent can use.
📊 Monitor Activity, Assets, NFTs, and DeFi Positions
Inside the Agent view:
Activity: chronological feed of actions (stake, redeem, strategy executed/failed, updates), with View Tx links to chain explorers; some entries include multiple tx links
Assets: balances by asset with actions (Deposit, Stake, Withdraw, Send)
NFTs: vault-held NFTs with View/Send actions
DeFi Positions: consolidated positions including BTC staking, ASX staking, and Aave; contextual actions (Redeem when BTC timelock expires, Withdraw/Claim for ASX, Withdraw from Aave)
APY shown in the header is derived from live protocol stats when available; if stats are unreachable, default APYs display.
🛟 Troubleshooting
Wallet not connected: use the “Connect to Launch” or connect button in the header
Launch failed: ensure you have gas for the selected chain and use the Retry button for the failed step
No APY values: protocol stats may be temporarily unavailable; APY will default until refreshed
NFT list empty: ensure you’re on the right chain and wallet; the UI refreshes and caches for performance
Custom Prompt disabled: upgrade to Pro in Billing to enable advanced prompts
Terms checkbox disabled launch: make sure you accept Terms and Privacy before launching
