Before placing an order, start with two things:

1. pick the **series** you want to trade
1. pick the **vault** and then the **series** (maturity date) you want to trade
2. decide whether you want **principal + yield** exposure through **ST** or **points** exposure through **EPT**

The same **vToken** can have multiple series open at different maturity dates, and each series has its own **ST/vToken** and **EPT/vToken** orderbooks (though economically they are the same underlying book, as explained below).

The book is quoted in APR, but users still need a simple way to think about token price:

- **ST** trades below **1 vToken**
- **EPT** trades at `price per point × points received from 1 vToken until maturity` in an efficient market, and as an EPT buyer you want it to trade below that value so you have room to profit
- **EPT** trades at `expected price per point × points received from 1 vToken until maturity` in an efficient market, and as an EPT buyer you want it to trade below that value so you have room to profit from the exchange's listed token price

**As maturity gets closer, the same APR implies different ST and EPT amounts.**

## Vaults at Launch

Each vault pairs a professional market maker with one or more perp DEXes. The market maker borrows vault capital, runs their own trading strategies, and returns value to the vault through either a fixed rate or a performance-fee split. ArcX does not dictate or operate the trading — each market maker runs their own book.

Each vault has its own vToken. ST and EPT derived from each vault are specific to that vault and series.

A vToken is a vault share. Each vault pairs a market maker with a perp DEX. You deposit USDC, receive vToken shares, and earn two things:

1. **Yield** — the market maker borrows your capital and returns value through either a fixed rate or a performance-fee split
2. **Exchange points** — the strategy's activity generates points, distributed to you based on how many vTokens you held and for how long

vToken is the simplest way to use ArcX. You earn yield and points without trading or managing anything. Just deposit and hold.

Operators usually need deposits to stay on the exchange for a minimum period so they can put the capital to work. Because of that, each vault has a global lock-in window.

If the lock-in is 3 days, then the withdrawable amount is total supply minus deposits made in the last 3 days. During this lock-in period, your vTokens are **not** burned, and you continue earning yield and points.
If the lock-in is 3 days, the vault's total withdrawable pool is total supply minus all deposits made in the last 3 days — across all users. Withdrawals are served from this shared pool on a first-come, first-served basis. During the lock-in period, your vTokens are **not** burned, and you continue earning yield and points.

<Step title="Unwinding">
Once your position is withdrawable, the operator still needs time to unwind exchange positions and return capital to the vault contract. Your vTokens are burned during this unwinding period.
