**What is VULTR Protocol?**\
\
**VULTR Protocol** is a **Solana-based liquidation vault** designed to give users simple, non-custodial exposure to liquidation-driven yield.

Users deposit **USDC** into the vault and receive **vault share tokens** (often referred to as *sVLTR*) that represent their pro-rata claim on the vault. As the vault earns liquidation profit, the **value per share increases** over time.

**Tagline:** *Circle. Wait. Feast.*
