# Setup Reward Vault

Protocols participate in PoL through a Reward Vault. This guide covers the practical setup path for creating a vault and making it ready for users.

## Checklist

* Create a Reward Vault
* Submit/complete your Reward Vault request process
* Configure token and vault metadata for discoverability
* Add adapter support where needed

## 1) Create a Reward Vault

Recommended path:

* Create via [Berachain Hub](https://hub.berachain.com/earn/create)

Alternative paths:

* Create from your deployment scripts
* Call `createRewardVault` on the Reward Vault Factory directly

Contract addresses and references:

* [Deployed Contracts](/build/getting-started/deployed-contracts)

## 2) Complete Reward Vault Request Process

PoL rollout and whitelisting requirements can evolve by governance phase. Use the latest process docs:

* [Reward Vault Governance](/general/governance/reward-vault-governance)
* [Reward Vault Guidelines](/general/help/reward-vault-guidelines)

## 3) Configure Metadata

For a production-quality UX in Hub and explorers:

* Submit token metadata to the Berachain metadata registry
* Submit Reward Vault metadata to the same registry

If you need explorer token metadata updates:

* [Berascan Token Update Guide](/build/guides/berascan-token-update)

## 4) Add Adapter Support (If Needed)

If your staking token is not a plain LP/receipt token, you may need a PoL adapter for yield display and pricing.
