What Are The Vaults?

Vaults are a place to deposit various types of collateral and mint a synthetic asset, such as TCAP or JPEGz, on the Cryptex Finance protocol.

How Do The Vaults Work?

Cryptex Finance vaults are a collateralized debt position (CDP).

Users have two options for creating these vaults: regular mode and hard mode.

Regular Mode TCAP

Regular Mode JPEGz

The minimum required ratio of 150% or the user will face liquidation.

Hard mode vaults for minting TCAP on the Ethereum Mainnet require a 125% ratio and a minimum of 20 TCAP. Collateral options include ETH, WETH, DAI, USDC, and WBTC.

What Are The Fees Involved With The Vaults?
