# Vaults Satori Vault operates similarly to a liquidity pool, where DAOs, institutions, and individual investors deposit funds for the purpose of generating earnings. Vault managers leverage these funds for trading perpetual contracts, with profits and losses from the treasury distributed proportionally among all depositors based on their contributions. As compensation for managing the vault, owners receive 10% of the total profits, although this distribution rate can be customized for each specific vault. Management of these vaults can be conducted by individual traders or automated through market makers. It is essential for users to carefully evaluate the associated risks and historical performance of a vault before making a deposit, as each strategy carries its own unique risks and considerations. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
