Withdraw from a vault
Learn how to withdraw your assets from Naga vaults.
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
- A connected Web3 wallet with an active position in a vault
- Enough native tokens (ETH, etc.) for gas fees
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Navigate to Your Position
- Go to Naga Earn
- Find the vault you want to withdraw from
- Click on the vault to view its details
Step 2: Switch to Withdraw Tab
- In the vault details page, click the "Withdraw" tab
- You'll see your current position and available withdrawal amount
Step 3: Enter Withdrawal Amount
- Enter the amount you want to withdraw
- Use the "Max" button to withdraw your entire position
- The interface will show:
- Amount of underlying tokens you'll receive
- Your remaining position (if partial withdrawal)
- Any applicable fees
Step 4: Review Withdrawal Details
Before confirming, verify:
- Withdrawal Amount: The tokens you'll receive
- Remaining Position: What will stay in the vault
- Fees: Any withdrawal fees (typically none)
- Gas Cost: The estimated transaction fee
Step 5: Execute Withdrawal
- Click the "Withdraw" button
- Review the transaction details in the confirmation modal
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet
- Wait for the transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain
Step 6: Verify Your Withdrawal
After the transaction confirms:
- The tokens will appear in your wallet
- Your vault position will be updated (or removed if full withdrawal)
- You'll stop earning yield on the withdrawn amount
Understanding Withdrawals
Exchange Rate
The amount you receive depends on the current value of your vault shares:
- Your shares are worth more than your initial deposit depending on the performance of the vault
- The exchange rate from shares to underlying tokens is calculated at withdrawal time
Example
If you deposited 1,000 USDT and received 950 shares:
- If the vault earned 10% yield, your 950 shares might now be worth 1,100 USDT
- When you withdraw, you'll receive 1,100 USDT (minus any fees)
Partial vs Full Withdrawal
Partial Withdrawal:
- Withdraw some funds while keeping the rest invested
- Continue earning yield on remaining balance
- Useful for taking profits while staying invested
Full Withdrawal:
- Withdraw your entire position
- Remove your position from the vault completely
- Stop earning yield
Timing Your Withdrawal
No Lock-up Period
You can withdraw at any time. The withdrawal amount is subject to availability. If the vault is over-utilised by borrowers, you may not be able to withdraw your entire position.
Consider Gas Fees
Gas fees are the same whether you withdraw a little or a lot. Consider this when deciding withdrawal amounts.
Market Conditions
Withdrawing during high market volatility may result in different amounts than expected. Monitor the exchange rate before confirming.
Withdrawal Strategies
Take Profits Regularly
Consider withdrawing earned yields periodically while keeping your principal invested.
Emergency Withdrawals
In case of emergency, you can always withdraw immediately without penalty (except gas fees).
Rebalancing
Withdraw from underperforming vaults and move funds to better opportunities.
Common Issues
Insufficient Shares
Ensure you're not trying to withdraw more than your current position.
Transaction Failed
- Check that you have enough gas
- Verify the vault has sufficient liquidity for your withdrawal
- Try increasing the gas limit
Fees
No Withdrawal Fees
Naga typically doesn't charge withdrawal fees. However, you'll pay:
- Gas Fees: Network transaction fees (paid to blockchain validators)
- Performance Fees: Already deducted from your earnings (not charged on withdrawal)
Best Practices
Plan Your Withdrawals
Consider your tax implications and have a clear strategy for withdrawn funds.
Leave Some Position
If you like a vault's performance, consider leaving a small position to continue earning.
Track Your Returns
Keep records of deposits and withdrawals for tax purposes and performance tracking.
After Withdrawal
Once you've withdrawn:
- Tokens in Wallet: Your tokens will be back in your wallet
- Use Them: You can now swap, transfer, or re-deposit elsewhere
- Consider Opportunities: Explore other vaults or borrowing options
