# Deposits

Vaults support two deposit models: **asynchronous deposits** and **synchronous deposits**. These can be used independently or in combination, depending on the vault's investment strategy and risk profile.

**Asynchronous deposits** go through a queue and require administrator approval before being processed. This gives vault administrators full control over when and at what share price deposits are accepted.

**Synchronous deposits** are processed instantly, without a queue or approval step. Depositors receive shares immediately at the current share price.
