Withdrawals.
Liquidity is a product feature, not a marketing claim. This page describes how Northvault withdrawals work, what backs them, and what changes when markets are stressed. The contract we offer is simple: same-day settlement in ordinary conditions, transparent queuing when the book needs to be unwound carefully.
What happens when you request a withdrawal.
- 1. Initiate
You request a withdrawal to an allowlisted destination address from the dashboard. First-time addresses are subject to a 24-hour security review before they become spendable.
- 2. Verify
Step-up authentication on the request. Operator-side, the destination is screened with chain analytics and the requested amount is checked against your verified profile.
- 3. Settle balance
Your accrued estimated yield is settled into principal before any decrement, so you receive everything owed up to the moment of the withdrawal.
- 4. Release
The transaction is signed from the hot tier of the treasury and broadcast to Solana. Confirmation is typically within seconds of release; the funds are then in your wallet.
The queue policy.
The reserves sleeve is sized to fund ordinary redemption flow. In high- redemption-stress scenarios — for example a market-wide stablecoin run or coordinated counterparty stress — withdrawals may be queued while higher- yielding sleeves are unwound in an orderly manner.
Any queue is processed strictly in the order requests were submitted. No discretion on ordering.
If a queue is engaged, status is published on the dashboard banner and updated at least daily until cleared.
When a queue is engaged we do not accept new deposits into the affected currency until the queue clears.
Once the queue clears, a post-event note is published describing what triggered it and how it was resolved.
