Fund Creators pick one or a combination of DeFi products integrated into the HedgePie platform and propose an investment strategy in which investors are able to allocate their crypto. 

Here’s how to Join a Creator’s Fund:

1. On [HedgePie App](https://hedgepie.finance/), access the searchable marketplace featuring Creator Funds.

3\. Choose a Creator’s Fund

* Make sure your wallet is connected.
* Select the token you want to join with.&#x20;

The contribution you set will be located in the Smart Contracts in the HedgePie platform therefore, all funds are locked and no one except you could withdraw. HedgePie does not have access to your funds, nor does the Fund Creator, It is always you holding control of your private keys and crypto, accessing them directly while connecting your wallet to the blockchain.&#x20;

Remember that you can Withdraw at any time and it is at this time when  the Performance Fee will be collected by the protocol and given to the Fund Creator, again, automatically. The Performance Fee that the Fund Creator will charge you can go from 1 to 10% and is clearly expressed in the description of each fund.&#x20;

* Input amount you wish to join the fund by contributing.

There are no max or minimum amounts to contribute to a fund.&#x20;

A gas fee (the fee the blockchain charges you to perform the transaction) is additionally charged by the blockchain you are operating with inside HedgePie,  so we recommend to always leave some crypto on your wallet for this purpose. The gas fee will be shown on your wallet before approval of the transaction.&#x20;

* Click on Stake.
