# Funding Proposals

Aetos V1 funding works by creating something called "**Sub-Vaults**". These are vault contracts that have a single objective \~ to fund a project.

Funds are sent from the Capital Vault to a newly created Sub Vault to be deployed to the funding opportunity. The sub-vaults act as multi sigs with the ability to perform any on-chain transaction including and not limited to: uniswap swaps, defi staking, nft buying etc.

In order to get started with funding a project, create a "**Fund Sub-Vault"** proposal found under capital proposals.

Sub-vaults are controlled by 2 types of entities: Managers and the DAO Council. Managers are selected during the proposal stage and can be changed later on.

Once the proposal is created, voted and processed, a sub-vault is deployed and is visible in the Vaults section.

Sub vault proposals can be found in the sub vault section on the proposal page. You can select which sub vault you wish to create a proposal for.
