# Vault roles There are three primary roles in interacting with a vault: * [**Lenders**](/docs/diffuse-prime/vaults/vault-roles/lenders.md) deposit the **base asset** into a vault in exchange for shares; see also Lender yield points algorithm for detailed info on lenders' points. * [**Borrowers**](/docs/diffuse-prime/vaults/vault-roles/borrowers.md) provide collateral to gain leverage and deploy the resulting funds into curated yield strategies. * [**Curators**](/docs/diffuse-prime/vaults/vault-roles/curators.md) configure and manage vault parameters, balancing security, utilization of the base asset, and liquidation frequency. --- # 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.
