NFTH

Creating a Vault

This guide walks you through creating a vault for an NFT collection that doesn't have one yet.

Prerequisites

  • Wallet connected to HyperEVM
  • Some HYPE for gas

One Vault Per Collection

NFTH follows a one vault per collection model. If a vault already exists for a collection, clicking that collection will take you to the existing vault instead of creating a new one.

This design prevents liquidity fragmentation - all vTokens for a collection remain fungible and trade in a single market.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Navigate to Create Vault

Click Create Vault from the home page or go directly to /create.

2. Select a Collection

Choose from the list of whitelisted collections. Each card shows:

  • Collection name and symbol
  • Token standard (ERC-721 or ERC-1155)
  • Vault exists badge if a vault has already been created

If you click a collection with an existing vault, you'll be redirected to that vault's page.

3. Configure Your Vault

For collections without a vault, you'll see the creation form:

  • Vault Name - Human-readable name (e.g., "Tiny Hyper Cats Vault")
  • vToken Symbol - Short symbol for the vToken (e.g., "vTHC")

All NFTs in the collection will be eligible for deposit (the vault accepts any token ID).

4. Review and Create

  • Review all settings
  • Click Create Vault
  • Confirm the transaction
  • Wait for confirmation

5. Vault is Live

Your vault is now deployed and ready to use. You'll be redirected to the vault page.

Best Practices

Naming Conventions

  • Use recognizable collection names
  • Prefix vToken symbols with "v" (e.g., vTHC for Tiny Hyper Cats)
  • Keep symbols short (3-5 characters)

After Creation

  • Deposit initial NFTs to seed liquidity
  • Create a DEX pool for your vToken
  • Share with your community

Collection Whitelisting

Currently, only whitelisted collections can have vaults created through the UI. This is a temporary measure during the early launch phase.

To request adding a new collection, contact toast with:

  • Collection contract address
  • Collection name and symbol
  • Brief description

Advanced Use Cases

The frontend creates vaults where all NFTs are eligible. For specialized vaults with eligibility restrictions (e.g., only certain token ID ranges or traits), you can interact with the smart contracts directly. See the Contracts Reference for details.
