<summary><strong>What is the MLP Vault?</strong></summary>

<summary><strong>Can I move funds out of the Vault anytime?</strong></summary>

Vault deposits are subject to a 4-day lock-up period, during which withdrawals are not available. If you make an additional deposit before the lock-up ends, the lock-up period will restart and be recalculated from the date of the most recent deposit. Once the lock-up period ends, you can withdraw freely.
