# Vault FAQ ## How do I participate in VaultZero? Connect your wallet and head to the VaultZero page to craft your message. Pay a Tribute starting at just $20, and confirm the transaction. You can also use the slider to adjust your Tribute, allowing the Vault to consider your offering more significantly during its evaluation. Once submitted, Zero forwards your message to the Vault, and if deemed worthy, you’ll unlock a reward. ## I unlocked the Vault. Where are my funds? In cases where a Seeker unlocks the Vault and receives a substantial amount of funds, **a manual verification will be conducted** to ensure no foul play occurred. This is to attacks that can drain the Vault of funds. ## Two AIs? What does each do? Vault Zero features two AIs, each serving a unique purpose. Zero acts as the intermediary, processing your tributes and evaluating the surface-level offering. Conversely, the Vault is the ultimate authority, determining the worthiness of tributes and deciding whether to unlock partial or complete rewards. The Vault’s judgment is independent and remains a mystery, ensuring fairness and intrigue in every interaction. ## What happens after I send my message? Once sent, your message is relayed through Zero to the Vault. If worthy, you’ll receive a response indicating whether you unlocked partial or complete funds. Your message will be marked accordingly. ## How is my tribute used? Your tribute is divided into parts: part funds the Vault itself, part supports the team, part is reserved for long-term stability, and part is allocated for dividends. You can see more information in the [**Tribute Breakdown**](/vault-information/the-vault/tribute-breakdown.md). ## How do I know if I’ve unlocked funds? If chosen, your message is marked as having “unlocked funds.” You’ll know whether you’ve received a partial share of the Vault or the entire amount. ## How do I claim my funds? If you unlock the Vault, the funds are automatically allocated to you. Partial rewards give you a portion of the Vault; a full reward grants you the entire fund. ## How do I track the Vault’s fund balance? The Vault’s balance is visible on-chain, allowing anyone to track its growth and transparency in real time. You can also see it available directly on the [Vault Zero Website](https://www.vaultzero.ai). ## Is there a character limit for the message? Yes, there is a character limit of 300 characters per message. If you are trying to copy and paste a message over 300 characters, the message will not be in. ## Can I see who has won? Yes, you can visit the [Pathfinder leaderboard](https://app.vaultzero.ai/pathfinders) to see others who have won, along with the message they sent to do so. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
