### 1 · Preparation

{% step %}

### 2 · Connect

1. Open the **RFY dapp →** [**RFY.FINANCE**](https://rfy.finance/)
2. Click **Connect Wallet** and approve
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 3 · Deposit

* Pick a vault → **Deposit** → approve allowance → confirm tx
* You will receive a tradable receipt token (e.g., `rfyBTC`) ratioed at NAV backing value to deposit
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 4 · Vault shares

* Shares track NAV and compounds strategy returns and on-chain yield
* You can **hold**, **trade** (if a pool exists), or **redeem** them at settlement
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 5 · Settlement & redeem

* PnL/Yield is compounded and applied to receipt NAV
* Redeem during redemption window to get back underlying + accrued returns
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 6 · Points

* Deposits earn RFY Points daily (converted at TGE)
* Check **Points & Incentives** for multipliers and bonuses
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Quick troubleshooting

* **No receipt token shown?**\
  Add token contract in wallet or check vault page
* **Deposit pending?**\
  Check tx status in wallet explorer
* **No pool liquidity?**\
  Wait for redemption period against backing found in vault page

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rfy.finance/rfy/readme/quickstart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
