# NFT Time-Lock Vaults

**NFT Time-lock Vaults** are next-gen liquidity vaults built to optimize capital efficiency and unlock additional layers of yield and liquidity by transforming locked assets into **Liquid NFTs**. When users deposit into these vaults, their liquidity is wrapped into a bribe-eligible, yield-generating **POL NFT** (Proof of Liquidity NFT) that accrues yield from multiple sources. Protocols offer bribes to secure long-term liquidity, while users benefit from enhanced, multi-layered yield — all without sacrificing flexibility. These Liquid NFTs remain fully composable, allowing users to **borrow, trade, or exit early**, making it the most seamless and capital-efficient way to put assets to work.

## Configurations

NFT Time-lock Vaults are modular and support:

* **Single-Sided Vaults**: Accept any token.
* **LP Vaults**: Lock LP positions from DEXes.
* **Strategy Vaults**: Route deposits into complex yield strategies or other on-chain products.
* **Custom Vaults**: Build vaults tailored for lending protocols, prediction markets, or experimental on-chain games.

Every vault can have its own lock duration, bribe settings, zapper config, and redemption logic. Whether it's launching a token, bootstrapping TVL, or securing deposits, NFT Time-lock vault can do it all.
