# Introduction to Fusion

## Professional DeFi Asset Management Simplified

IPOR Fusion is a professional-grade asset management layer that provides **one-click access to sophisticated DeFi strategies**. It acts as an intelligent gateway to the broader DeFi ecosystem, offering a non-custodial and transparent way to grow your capital using institutional-grade infrastructure.

By depositing into a Fusion vault, you delegate the complexity of yield optimization to strategists ("[Atomists](/build-on-fusion/architecture-overview/what-is-an-atomist.md)") who actively manage your assets across protocols in the ecosystem.

## How It Works

Fusion is designed to make participating in advanced DeFi strategies as simple as using a standard "Earn" button:

1. **Select a Strategy:** Choose a vault based on your risk profile and desired underlying asset (e.g., USDC or ETH).
2. **Provide Liquidity:** Deposit assets to receive vault shares. These shares represent your ownership of the pool and the yield it generates.
3. **Passive Management:** Professional strategists ("[Alphas](/build-on-fusion/architecture-overview/what-is-an-alpha.md)") manage the portfolio behind the scenes, e.g. automatically rebalancing funds across different DeFi protocols to capture optimal returns.
4. **Withdraw Anytime:** Monitor your growth in real-time and withdraw your assets whenever you need them.

## Core Features

* **Expert Management:** Benefit from active management by professional strategists.
* **Universal Access:** Tap into liquidity across all major DeFi protocols from a single entry point.
* **Cost-Efficient Management:** Strategy execution and rebalancing are handled by the vault, meaning depositors don't pay direct gas costs for complex portfolio operations.
* **Total Transparency:** Every strategy move and performance metric is verifiable on-chain 24/7.
