<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Who can access Maestro Institutional?">
    Access is limited to qualified allocators and accredited investors — Maestro is not directed at retail. Eligibility and KYC are set per vault: each vault's terms state who can deposit, and KYC may be required depending on the vault. Every deposit and withdrawal is screened for sanctions exposure before it settles. See [Compliance & screening](/trust-operations/security-custody).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do my assets sit?">
    It depends on the vault and the option you choose. Each vault offers custody options — deposit directly into the vault contracts on-chain, or through a qualified custodian Maestro has integrated with (Anchorage Digital). An on-chain layer automates accounting, execution, and yield distribution around that option. See [Custody options](/concepts/hybrid-custody) and [Security & custody](/trust-operations/security-custody).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is yield generated?">
    From real Bitcoin-denominated economic activity, not token incentives — primarily mining credit funded through the Mezzamine marketplace, plus liquid strategies that earn spread or fees from real market activity. See [How yield is generated](/concepts/yield-generation).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is myBTC a stablecoin?">
    No. myBTC is a yield-bearing Bitcoin asset, never pegged to the US dollar or any other fiat currency — value is denominated and redeemed entirely in BTC. See [myBTC overview](/mybtc/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What are the fees?">
    Fees are set per vault by the vault curator. The fee types are a management fee on assets under management, a performance fee on realized BTC yield only — never on principal — and an admin fee on certain lending vaults. Current fee schedules are provided on a per-vault basis in the [Treasury app](https://treasury.gomaestro.org). See [Fees & economics](/trust-operations/fees-economics).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I get started?">
    Onboarding depends on your role — investor (including asset managers) or miner — and both paths begin the same way: contact the team through the [contact form](https://www.gomaestro.org/contact) or at [institutional@gomaestro.org](mailto:institutional@gomaestro.org). See [Getting started](/get-started/getting-started) for the step-by-step path that matches yours.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are Treasury vault contracts open source and audited?">
    Yes. Every Maestro-curated vault runs on open-source contracts — [maestro-vault-contracts](https://github.com/maestro-org/maestro-vault-contracts) — independently audited by [Halborn](https://www.halborn.com/) before capital moves. Full audit reports are available to qualified allocators under NDA. See [Audits](/trust-operations/security-custody#audits).
