# Getting Started

## Overview

Getting started with Paravel takes less than 2 minutes.

There is no manual strategy selection or configuration required.

Once you deposit, capital is automatically managed by the system.

***

## Step-by-Step

### 1. Open the App

Go to: <https://app.paravel.xyz>

***

### 2. Connect Your Wallet

Connect using:

* MetaMask
* WalletConnect
* Any supported Web3 wallet

***

### 3. Choose a Vault

Select a vault based on your risk preference:

* **USDC Vault** → Designed for stable, lower-volatility yield
* **ETH Vault** → Designed for ETH-denominated growth

***

### 4. Deposit Assets

Approve and deposit your selected assets into the vault.

Once confirmed:

* Your funds enter the Paravel system
* You receive **iPrVL tokens**, representing your vault share

***

### 5. Active Management Begins

After deposit, your capital is automatically managed by Paravel’s system of AI agents.

The system will:

* Allocate capital across strategies
* Monitor performance and risk conditions
* Rebalance positions dynamically
* Compound returns over time

No further user action is required.

***

## What Happens After Deposit

Once funds are deployed, the system operates continuously:

* Capital is distributed across multiple strategies
* Agents monitor performance in real time
* Underperforming strategies are reduced or removed
* Capital is reallocated toward stronger opportunities
* Profits are automatically reinvested

***

## Withdrawing Funds

You can exit your position at any time by redeeming your **iPrVL tokens**.

Withdrawal process:

* A redemption request is submitted
* Positions are unwound through a controlled exit process
* A manual safety review may apply (up to 72 hours) in abnormal conditions
* Funds are returned to your wallet after settlement

This process ensures positions are unwound safely and without destabilizing active strategies.

***

## Monitoring Your Position

The dashboard provides full transparency into your vault activity:

* Total Value Locked (TVL) and performance
* Active agents and capital allocation
* Real-time risk and health metrics
* Historical returns and performance statistics (including Sharpe ratio)

***

## Key Principles

* You retain full custody of your wallet at all times
* All activity is visible on-chain
* Risk management operates continuously in the background
* No manual strategy management is required

***

## Key Idea

Deposit once.

The system handles allocation, execution, and optimisation.

You can monitor or withdraw at any time.
