# Deposit/Withdrawal Semantics Multistake extends ERC-4626 semantics across a multi-plane execution environment while keeping all accounting strictly local to the zkSync Home Vault. This section defines how deposits and withdrawals function under synchronous (L2-native) and asynchronous (cross-chain) conditions, how capital transitions across planes, and how user operations remain deterministic despite cross-domain execution. The central design principle is that **ERC-4626 behaviour must remain predictable even when liquidity is deployed on another chain**. Deposits mint shares only when assets are finalised on zkSync, and withdrawals burn shares only when liquidity is present and verified on zkSync. Cross-plane operations never alter the conversion rules. --- # 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. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://multistake-1.gitbook.io/multistake-docs/documentation/oracle-architecture/deposit-withdrawal-semantics.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
