Partial Withdrawal

Withdraw only what you need, keep the rest earning:

Available: 1,150 MUSD
Withdraw: 200 MUSD (emergency expense)
Remaining: 950 MUSD (continues earning)

Withdrawal Strategies

Different approaches for different goals:

Strategy 1: Never Withdraw (Maximum Compounding)

Best for: Long-term wealth building

How it works:

• Deposit regularly
• Never touch the balance
• Let yields compound indefinitely

Example (10 years):

Initial: 1,000 MUSD
Monthly deposits: 100 MUSD
APY: 15% (compounded)
After 10 years: ~31,500 MUSD
  Deposits: 13,000 MUSD
  Yields: 18,500 MUSD

Strategy 2: Withdraw Yields, Keep Principal

Best for: Passive income seekers

How it works:

• Build up principal (e.g., 10,000 MUSD)
• Withdraw yields monthly/quarterly
• Never touch principal

Example:

Principal: 10,000 MUSD
Monthly yield: ~125 MUSD (15% APY)
Annual income: ~1,500 MUSD
Principal after 5 years: Still 10,000 MUSD

Strategy 3: Hybrid (Withdraw Some, Keep Some)

Best for: Balanced approach

How it works:

• Withdraw 50% of yields
• Reinvest 50% of yields
• Grow principal while enjoying returns

Example:

Principal: 5,000 MUSD
Quarterly yield: ~187 MUSD
Withdraw: 93 MUSD
Reinvest: 94 MUSD
After 1 year: Principal grows to ~5,375 MUSD

Strategy 4: Goal-Based Withdrawal

Best for: Specific savings goals

How it works:

• Set a goal (e.g., $10k for car down payment)
• Deposit until goal is reached
• Withdraw full amount when needed

Example:

Goal: 10,000 MUSD for car down payment
Monthly deposit: 400 MUSD
With 15% APY: Reach goal in 23 months (vs 25 months at 0%)
Withdraw: Full 10,000 MUSD when ready to buy

Gas Fees Explained

Every blockchain transaction costs gas. Here's what you'll pay:

Fee Breakdown

Example Cost (First Year):

Initial deposit: $0.02 (approve + deposit)
Weekly deposits (52): $0.52 (52 × $0.01)
Yearly withdrawal: $0.01
Total gas: $0.55

On $2,600 deposited: 0.02% fee
Compare to bank wire fees: $20-30 per transfer!

Gas Optimization Tips

When Gas Fees Spike

During network congestion, gas can increase 2-5x:

Normal: ~0.0001 BTC Congested: ~0.0003-0.0005 BTC

What to do:

1. Check Mezo Gas Tracker
2. If fees are high, wait 30-60 minutes
3. Transactions aren't urgent - yields keep accruing
4. Set a gas limit in MetaMask (advanced)

Transaction Limits

Understanding minimums and maximums:

Minimum Deposit

10 MUSD per deposit

Why?

• Gas fees become too expensive on smaller amounts
• Example: $0.01 gas on $5 deposit = 0.2% fee (too high)
• On $10 deposit = 0.1% fee (acceptable)

Maximum Deposit

No hard maximum, but consider:

Why limits matter:

• Larger deposits may require custom yield strategies
• Risk management (don't put all eggs in one basket)
• Smart contract capacity planning

Minimum Withdrawal

No minimum - withdraw any amount (even 1 MUSD if you want)

But consider:

• Gas fee is ~$0.01 regardless of amount
• Withdrawing $1 means 1% goes to gas
• Withdrawing $100 means 0.01% goes to gas

Recommendation: Withdraw at least 100 MUSD to keep gas fees < 0.01% of transaction.

Viewing Transaction History

Track all your deposits and withdrawals:

In KhipuVault Dashboard

Navigate to "My Pools" → "Transaction History":

Date          Action      Amount        Balance    Tx Hash
2026-01-15    Deposit     1,000 MUSD    1,000      0xabc...

Export options:

• CSV download (for accounting)
• PDF report (for taxes)
• JSON (for developers)

On Blockchain Explorer

For full transparency, view on-chain:

1. Go to Mezo Block Explorer
2. Paste your pool address: 0x7890...def1
3. Click "Transactions" tab

You'll see every interaction:

• Token transfers (deposits/withdrawals)
• Contract calls (createPool, deposit, withdraw)
• Event emissions (Deposited, Withdrawn, YieldClaimed)
• Gas paid for each transaction

Example transaction:

Tx Hash: 0xabc123...
Block: 1234567
From: YOUR_WALLET
To: POOL_CONTRACT
Value: 1,000 MUSD
Function: deposit(uint256)
Gas: 0.0001 BTC
Status: ✅ Success

Emergency Withdrawals

If something goes wrong or you need urgent access:

Standard Emergency Withdrawal

If the platform is down but blockchain is running:

Function: withdraw(uint256 amount)
Parameters: 1150000000000000000000 (1,150 MUSD in wei)

Smart Contract Paused

If contracts are paused (emergency only):

function emergencyWithdraw() external onlyOwner

This bypasses normal withdrawal logic and returns all your funds. Only callable by you (the pool owner).

When would this happen?

• Critical bug discovered
• Network attack detected
• Upgrade in progress

You'll be notified via email/Discord if this ever occurs.

Common Issues

"Insufficient MUSD Balance"

Error: Can't deposit because you don't have enough MUSD

Solution:

1. Check your MetaMask MUSD balance
2. Get more MUSD from faucet
3. Or deposit a smaller amount

"Insufficient BTC for Gas"

Error: Not enough BTC to pay gas fees

Solution:

1. Get BTC from Mezo Faucet
2. You need at least 0.0005 BTC for multiple transactions
3. 0.001 BTC is recommended for comfort

"Allowance Exceeded"

Error: Trying to deposit more than approved amount

Solution:

1. This shouldn't happen with "unlimited" approval
2. If it does, revoke approval in MetaMask
3. Re-approve when depositing

How to revoke:

• MetaMask → Assets → MUSD → "Revoke all"
• Next deposit will request approval again

Transaction Pending Forever

Issue: Transaction stuck for greater than 5 minutes

Solution:

1. Check Mezo Explorer with your tx hash
2. If "pending", it's stuck in mempool
3. Try speeding up (MetaMask → Activity → Speed Up)
4. Or wait - it will eventually confirm or fail

Withdrawal Not Received

Issue: Withdrawal confirmed but MUSD not in wallet

Solution:

1. Check MUSD is added to MetaMask (custom token)
2. Verify transaction on block explorer
3. Refresh MetaMask (close and reopen)
4. Check correct network (Mezo Testnet)
5. If still missing after 10 minutes, contact support with tx hash
