4. Completion

When successful:

• All strategies show Complete.
• Download output file.
• Step 2 shows ✓.

Output file example

Your output contains deposit details for each strategy:

{
  "WETH Stable Token": {
    "deposit_amount": 1000000000000,
    "deposit_into_strategy_tx_hash": "0x...",
    "approved_amount": 1000000000000
  },
  "stETH Stable Token": {
    "deposit_amount": 1000000000000,
    "deposit_into_strategy_tx_hash": "0x...",
