# Valdora

> Valdora is institutional-grade vault and liquid staking infrastructure for onchain capital on ZIGChain. Users deposit USDC into curated vault strategies, or stake ZIG to receive stZIG — a liquid staking token that keeps capital usable across supported markets and integrations while earning rewards.

## Key concepts

- **Vaults**: curated USDC strategies with different risk profiles (e.g. Stablecoin Yield, Quant Strategy, Opportunistic Credit, Core Income). Most strategies allow on-demand withdrawal; any notice or settlement period is shown clearly before depositing.
- **Liquid staking**: stake ZIG to receive **stZIG**, a liquid token representing your staked position. You earn staking rewards while keeping the position redeemable and usable across ZIGChain.
- **stZIG**: the liquid staking token. Unlike locked staking, stZIG can be used elsewhere onchain while it accrues rewards.
- **Who it's for**: ZIGChain users, stakers, and onchain capital allocators who want yield without giving up liquidity.
- **Custody**: non-custodial — users keep control of their assets and keys.
