# Create Vault

{% hint style="success" %}
Only a Pool Address is needed to [create](https://alpha.charm.fi/create) a vault. 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
When creating a vault, Alpha Vaults will provide [default values](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/create-vault/default-values.md) to illustrate the vault creation process. These values can be changed at any time.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Please go to [Next Steps](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/create-vault/next-steps.md) if you have already created a vault.
{% endhint %}

### During vault creation

The following [Vault Parameters](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/vault-parameters.md) can only be changed at vault creation:

* [Vault Name](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/vault-parameters.md#vault-name-name)
* [Vault Symbol](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/vault-parameters.md#vault-symbol-symbol)

The following parameter cannot be changed:

* [Pool Address](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/vault-parameters.md#pool-address-_pool)

The remaining Vault Parameters can be changed at any time.

### After creating a vault

After [creating](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/walkthroughs/create-vault.md) a vault, the creator will get:

* A contract address for the vault.
* A [link](https://learn.charm.fi/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/pages/BUWbtZQ3XeHdt1kAlyut#8.-when-the-transaction-confirms-you-will-get-a-welcome-screen-confirming-the-vault-was-created) to [deposit or withdraw](/charm/provide-liquidity/user-guides/depositing-and-withdrawing.md) into or out of the vault, track its [key stats](/charm/provide-liquidity/user-guides/vault-information-page.md), monitor its [performance](/charm/provide-liquidity/user-guides/performance-page.md), [manage](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/walkthroughs/edit-vault.md#managing-liquidity) its liquidity, set a [vault manager fee](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/walkthroughs/edit-vault.md#setting-manager-fee), and [lots more](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/walkthroughs/edit-vault.md)...

The remaining sections of this guide will describe the main features of the vault, and the [technical references ](/charm/technical-references/overview.md)will describe the code.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please keep a record of the vault's contract address. 

This is needed to access and manage the vault without a front-end, to build incentive schemes, and to build other DeFi products.
{% endhint %}

Your vault will not be displayed in Charm's home page by default unless it is [verified](/charm/manage-liquidity/user-guides/walkthroughs/verify-manager.md), but can be accessed using [MyVaults](/charm/provide-liquidity/user-guides/home-page.md#my-vaults).
