# Vaults & Copytrading *The below paragraphs describe the workings and concept behind Polyliquid's Vaults. Note that the Vaults are set to launch in January 2026 after sufficient base USDC is staked in the PLL Vault. Please refer to this Whitepaper and official Social Media accounts for updates.*\ \ Polyliquid's Vaults effectively serve two purposes. First, the protocol Vault, Polyliquid Liquidity Provider (PLL) Vault, serves as Market Maker on our Perps platform, effectively providing liquidity and enabling leveraged trading of Prediction Markets. Users can deposit USDC into this Vault and earn a yield based on the profits of the Market Making strategies, similar to Hyperliquid's HLP. \ \ Besides liquidity provision and the enablement of leverage trading/perps markets, the Vaults, similar to Hyperliquid, also serve as a way to copytrade other users. Any investor can create a Vault, while others can invest in them. If the Vault goes up as this user makes the right bets, the stake of investors in the Vault goes up too, effectively providing a way to Copytrade other users. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
