[Firelight](https://firelight.finance) is a yield-generating protocol built on top of FXRP. It provides [ERC-4626](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4626) compliant vault that allows users to deposit FXRP and earn yield through the [FAssets](/fassets/overview) system.

Firelight vaults operate on a [period-based logic](https://docs.firelight.finance/technical-documents#period-based-logic), where deposits and withdrawals are processed at specific intervals. Users receive vault shares representing their proportional ownership of the vault's assets.

## How Firelight Vaults Work[​](#how-firelight-vaults-work "Direct link to How Firelight Vaults Work")

This diagram shows the flow of operations for a user interacting with a Firelight vault.

The flow of operations for a user interacting with a Firelight vault is as follows:

-   **Deposit / Mint:** Two ways to get vault shares. Call `deposit(assets)` to deposit FXRP and receive the corresponding shares, or `mint(shares)` to specify the shares you want and pay the required FXRP.
    
-   **Withdraw / Redeem:** Both create a withdrawal request for the current period. Call `withdraw(assets)` to request a given amount of assets, or `redeem(shares)` to burn shares and request the equivalent assets. Shares are burned when you redeem.
    
-   **Claim:** After the period ends, call `claimWithdraw()` to receive your FXRP. Use the [Get Vault Status](/fxrp/firelight/status) and [Claim Withdrawals](/fxrp/firelight/claim) guides to find and claim completed periods.
