The DeFindex Console is the no-code path: it walks you through the same factory deployment the API exposes, and afterwards it is where you manage the vault day to day.

Open the Console

Create your account or log in, then pick Create Vault.

​
Before you start

  1. Log in at console.defindex.io. The same account holds your API keys.
  2. Pick the network in Settings: Mainnet or Testnet. The two are completely independent, see the requirements.
  3. Connect a Stellar wallet (Freighter, Lobstr, and others are supported). It pays the deployment fee and signs the transaction, and you need funds on the right network.

​
The Create Vault form

The form mirrors the factory arguments, in four sections:
  1. Basic Info: the vault’s name and symbol, and the vault fee in basis points. The fee is charged on the yield, capped at 9,000 bps. See Fees and revenue.
  2. Roles: the four addresses every vault needs: Manager, Emergency Manager, Rebalance Manager, and Fee Receiver. What each one can do is on Vault Roles.
  3. Options: whether the vault is upgradable. This is fixed at creation, see the trade-off.
  4. Assets: the asset the vault accepts and the strategies backing it, with the first deposit amount. Only strategies compatible with the chosen asset are offered. A first deposit of 20 USDC helps the historical APY endpoint avoid rounding errors. Two switches decide what happens with that deposit: Deposit on creation makes the deposit in the same transaction, and Auto-invest deposited funds invests it into the strategies you chose, which is the vault’s first rebalance. Keep both on. If either is off, the vault starts with no allocation and every deposit stays idle, even with invest: true, until you run one Invest from the vault’s Admin tab. See Deposit with invest: true stays idle.

​
Sign and confirm

Review everything, then sign the transaction with your connected wallet. Once the network confirms it, the vault appears on your console dashboard, where you can deposit, rebalance, configure fees, and rotate roles from the vault’s tabs. Assets and strategies cannot be added or swapped after creation by any vault function, so double-check the Assets section before signing.
