# Plant

> Turning a deposit into working positions.

Planting is the agent's first act after capital arrives: converting your deposit into concentrated-liquidity positions in the pools your strategy has selected.

## What happens

1. **The screen decides where.** The current output of the [universe screen](/strategies/how-pools-are-chosen) — filtered by your strategy or your asset picks — determines the pools.
2. **The algorithms decide how.** Range width, placement around the current price, and how capital is divided across pools are computed from measured market behaviour — realised volatility, liquidity depth, emission rates. The sizing model is proprietary; what we can say is that ranges are sized from **data, not defaults**, and a calm stable pair gets a very different range than a volatile meme.
3. **The agent executes.** Deposits are converted into the required pair tokens (under the vault's per-swap loss cap), positions are minted, and — where the venue supports it — staked for emissions.

Each planted position appears in your dashboard with its actual price range, and the mint transactions appear in your [statement](/vault/statements).

## Timing

Planting typically begins within minutes of a deposit. The agent may stage large deposits across multiple transactions rather than moving everything at once — patience at entry is cheaper than price impact.

<Note>
  Planting is also how *re*-entry works: after a [rotation](/agent/rotate) or a harvest large enough to compound, the same machinery places the new positions.
