# Deposit Flow

Depositors can deposit funds via the Coolwater dApp by connecting their Web3 Wallet, submitting address whitelisting requests, and initiating deposit transactions. Deposited funds are held in the Deposit vault and transferred to the Trading vault when the next epoch begins. Depositors can view their epoch deposit contributions and pending deposits in the dApp.

Coolwater bears no responsibility for deposits made outside the Coolwater interface (e.g., directly into the deposit wallet).
