# Direct Contract Calls

Calling the vault and factory contracts yourself, without the API in between.

Most integrations should use the [Integration Guide](/integration-guide/api) instead: the API builds the transactions for you and you sign and submit them. Come here when you need blockchain interaction with no backend dependency, or control the API does not expose.

* [Vault Methods](/advanced-documentation/direct-contract-calls/vault-methods): deposit, withdraw, balance
* [Vault Administration](/advanced-documentation/direct-contract-calls/vault-administration): rebalance, rescue, pause, upgrade
* [Factory Methods](/advanced-documentation/direct-contract-calls/factory-methods): deploying a vault

Addresses are on [Contract Deployments](/contract-deployments/index). The full method list is in the [vault interface](https://github.com/defindex-io/stellar-contracts/blob/main/vault/src/interface.rs).
