The Market

The tokenized economy is stuck under wrappers.

Tokenized assets crossed USD 320B in Q1 2026 (incl. stablecoins) — but 77.6% run as wrapper-only tokens, unable to compose with DeFi, TradFi, or each other.

Why VaultOS

Five properties no off-the-shelf vault platform delivers.

1

Client-Owned EVM Contracts

Your institution holds the upgrade keys. No tenant-on-shared-protocol. Sovereign by design.

2

Multi-Vertical Composability

Lending, RWA, staking, LP, perps, and prediction in a single vault. No vertical lock-in.

3

Per-Role Policy DSL

Human-readable, versioned, approval-gated. Compliance reads it. Engineering doesn't translate.

4

ERC-7540 Native

Asynchronous capital calls and NAV windows as first-class flows. Built for fund cadence.

5

AI-Augmented Operations

Optional AI for strategy, anomaly detection, reporting — always bounded by policy.

How It Works

One operating system.
Three sides of the vault economy.

Active managers run their products on VaultOS. Capital deploys through them. Yield sources plug in as adapters. The network layer orchestrates trust and governance.

How VaultOS connects institutional capital to tokenized yield sources

I have capital

Treasury managers, funds, custodians, ecosystems, allocators, LPs.

Exit Engine

One engine.
Six exits.

Every institutional vault needs an exit. VaultOS ships six mechanisms and switches on the one the asset and the investor actually need — not a one-size-fits-all pool.

S1

Fast Exit Pool

Out now at a set discount (e.g. −5%), funded by paid risk capital — not the issuer.

Instant · cold-start risk
S2

Reverse-Dutch Auction

List a position; discount starts at 0% and rises until a buyer fills. Price is discovered — no standing pool.

Price discovery
S3

NAV Redemption Cap

Withdraw at NAV under a public rule (e.g. 5%/quarter), enforced on-chain. Fair and transparent.

Fair · not instant
S4

Composability Wrapper

Wrap to a standard receipt and route to external venues — or borrow against the position instead of selling.

Route or borrow
S5

Eligibility-Gated OTC

A KYC-gated RFQ desk for block trades; settlement validates the whitelist privately on-chain.

Block trades · KYC-gated
S6

Coverage Overlay

Buyers stand ready to purchase only on a trigger (default, depeg) at a set discount, earning a premium.

Insurance-like · trigger-driven

The underlying's liquidity, price behavior and investor type decide the exit.Long-dated assets need an exit; instantly-redeemable ones need downside protection.

The Business Case

Stop spending months on vault plumbing.

Same product. A fraction of the time and cost. Engineering rigor inherited from a decade of production deployments.

Who Builds on VaultOS

Six profiles of active managers.

Each ICP brings a different vault shape. VaultOS supports all six without forcing one rigid model.

Subscription/redemption windows, NAV reporting, jurisdictional gating.

03

Private Credit Originators

Off-chain origination, on-chain distribution, full audit trail.

04

LRT / LST Protocols

Multi-strategy restaking vaults with role separation and bounded automation.

05

Lending Markets & Curators

Curator-branded vault products on a sovereign substrate.

06

Perp & Structured Issuers

ERC-7540 native flows for capital calls and tranched payouts.
