  <Card title="What's Alpha Vault?" icon="question" iconType="solid" href="/anti-sniper-suite/alpha-vault/what-is-alpha-vault">
    Alpha Vault is a complementary anti-bot mechanism used together with a Launch Pool that provides early access for genuine supporters to deposit and purchase tokens before the pool starts trading.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Alpha Vault Modes" icon="gear" iconType="solid" href="/anti-sniper-suite/alpha-vault/alpha-vault-modes">
    Alpha Vault has 2 modes: Prorata and FCFS. Prorata allows users to deposit over the max buying cap, with proportional distribution. FCFS allows users to deposit up to the max buying cap, with first-come-first-serve distribution.
