Deposits

This guide demonstrates complete deposit flows using the unified deposit API, which automatically detects the optimal authorization method (permit vs approval).

Breaking change in v0.5.0: Transaction functions now use vaultName instead of yieldType. Discover account names with getVaultsByConfig() before making deposit calls. See the migration guide.

The unified deposit API handles three authorization paths automatically:

Method	Description
Permit	Gas-efficient off-chain signature (EIP-2612). Single transaction — no separate approval needed.
Approval	Standard ERC-20 `approve` transaction followed by the deposit transaction.
Already Approved	Direct deposit when sufficient allowance already exists.

Step 0: Fetch Available Accounts

Retrieve all accounts accessible with your API key. This is the data you need to build an account selector for your users.

import { getVaultsByConfig, YieldType } from '@paxoslabs/amplify-sdk'

const vaults = await getVaultsByConfig()

for (const vault of vaults) {
  console.log(`${vault.name} — ${vault.yieldType} on chain ${vault.chainId}`)
  for (const asset of vault.supportedAssets) {
    console.log(`  ${asset.symbol}: deposit=${asset.depositable}, withdraw=${asset.withdrawable}`)
  }
}

You can also narrow the list with filters:

const coreVaults = await getVaultsByConfig({ yieldType: YieldType.CORE })
const ethVaults = await getVaultsByConfig({ chainId: 1 })
const usdcVaults = await getVaultsByConfig({ depositAssetAddress: USDC_ADDRESS })

Step 1: Select an Account

Once the user picks an account from your UI, record its vault.name — all subsequent transaction calls require it.

const selectedVault = vaults[0] // or from user selection

const vaultName = selectedVault.name
const depositAsset = selectedVault.vault.baseTokenAddress
const chainId = selectedVault.chainId

Step 2: Check Authorization

Determine the optimal authorization method for this deposit. The SDK auto-detects permit support.

import {
  prepareDepositAuthorization,
  isPermitAuth,
  isApprovalAuth,
  isAlreadyApprovedAuth,
} from '@paxoslabs/amplify-sdk'

const auth = await prepareDepositAuthorization({
  vaultName,
  depositAsset,
  depositAmount: '1000',
  to: userAddress,
  chainId,
})

if (isPermitAuth(auth)) {
  // Sign EIP-712 typed data off-chain (gasless)
} else if (isApprovalAuth(auth)) {
  // Send an ERC-20 approve transaction first
} else if (isAlreadyApprovedAuth(auth)) {
  // Sufficient allowance exists — skip straight to deposit
}

Step 3: Execute Deposit

After authorization, prepare and submit the deposit transaction.

import { prepareDeposit } from '@paxoslabs/amplify-sdk'

const prepared = await prepareDeposit({
  vaultName,
  depositAsset,
  depositAmount: '1000',
  to: userAddress,
  chainId,
  // For permit path, also pass: signature, deadline
})

// Submit prepared.txData via your wallet provider

Customization

Custom Slippage

const prepared = await prepareDeposit({

  slippage: 100, // 1% instead of default 0.5%
})

Distributor Code

const prepared = await prepareDeposit({

Force Approval Flow

const auth = await prepareDepositAuthorization({

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
”SDK not initialized”	Call `initAmplifySDK()` before using hooks
”Connect a wallet first”	Ensure user has connected wallet
Permit signature fails	Token may not support EIP-2612, falls back to approval
Transaction reverts	Check token balance and allowance
