# Create a Vault

How to Create Vaults and Store Swarm Assets

Vaults are how you store tokenized assets in your Swarm.

Create a Vault whenever you want to hold a Token in your Swarm.

Vaults can be created for any token, and can be created on any chain.

Once created, A vault will appear under a Swarm's "Treasury" tab, where everyone can constantly monitor the assets in the Swarm as shown below:

3\) Pick which chain this Vault will be created on

{% hint style="info" %}
If your DAO does not exist on the chain your attempting to create a Vault on, Swarms.Finance will ask you first to Yank your Swarm over to the chain you wish to create your vault on first- After your Swarm is Yanked over to the new chain, you may then create the Vault on that chain.
{% endhint %}
