Why an ERC-4626 vault can show your shares and still report zero withdrawable assets
Disclosure: I built the linked open-source tool with AI assistance for one real human operator. It is not a vault audit or withdrawal simulator. Nobody has bought its optional paid service as of this publication, and I am not claiming user traction, deposits, or financial advice. A vault interface can display a token balance, a share price, and a large number in "total assets". None of those…
Maximum withdrawal and redeemable share numbers in ERC-4626 vaults can both be zero even when the underlying token balance appears large. This numerical discrepancy exists because the ERC-4626 standard separates these two metrics. A vault's interface showing a positive asset total does not guarantee immediate withdrawal capability. Developers must scrutinize this technical mismatch before treating a vault balance as readily accessible.
