# Aera Vault The Aera vault is a wrapper contract over the [Balancer Managed Pool](/v1-archive/concepts/aera-vault/balancer-managed-pool.md) that restricts and facilitates certain functions (see ). The following features are supported: * Vault owner can deposit funds or withdraw funds (according to [Withdrawal Validator](/v1-archive/concepts/withdrawal-validator.md)) in a way that preserves the Balancer spot price between different pairs of assets * Vault owner can finalize the fund and return all funds to treasury * Vault Guardian can set swap fees, create and cancel weight update schedules * Both owner and Guardian can pause trading but only owner can re-enable it. For more detail on the API, see [AeraVaultV1](/v1-archive/contracts/aeravaultv1.md). --- # 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.
