Explore Vesu Vaults

Vesu Vaults are programmable yield strategies built on Starknet, designed to make onchain yield more accessible and efficient. They abstract away the complexity of managing positions, optimizing yield, or handling redemptions. Everything runs on audited smart contracts, managed by independent curators.

Core features​

Vesu Vaults remove the usual friction in yield farming by providing a set of simple, powerful guarantees:

  • Non-custodial deposits, processed instantly
  • Withdrawals follow a strategy-specific delay to optimize capital efficiency
  • Funds can only be used according to an onchain strategy mandate
  • Supports optional fees: management, performance, redemption

Use cases​

The Vaults are designed to support a wide range of strategies. These can include strategies like:

  • Diversified USDC yield by lending across multiple Vesu pools
  • Boosted wBTC yield via borrowing USDC against wBTC collateral, to generate yield on the borrowed USDC
  • Automated looping of ETH staking yield
  • Basis trade strategies

And much more. The infrastructure is designed to enable almost any possible onchain strategy.

How it works​

A modular architecture balances flexibility for curators with safety for users. Key to this are the following innovations:

  • Built on the starknet-vault-kit, an extension to the proven ERC-4626 standard comparable to an asynchronous redemption ERC-7540 vault
  • Enforced strategy mandates ensure that deposited funds are only used as specified
  • An onchain AuM Oracle trustlessly computes and reports the vault's Assets under Management
  • Strategies can integrate with Vesu for lending and borrowing, Avnu for swaps and arbitrary third-party ERC-4626 vaults

Vesu Vaults Vaults allocate liquidity across DeFi protocols, follow onchain strategy mandates, and report performance via a AuM oracle.

Curator model​

In the spirit of Vesu's open and permissionless market model, Vesu Vaults adopts the same open curator model. Vault strategies can be launched by anyone using Vesu's flexible and secure vault infrastructure. Vault curators are professional third-parties responsible for tasks such as:

  • Careful design and backtesting of yield strategies
  • Creation and initial setup of new yield strategies
  • Ongoing management of the yield strategy, eg rebalancing across different yield sources
  • Maintaining the vault’s liquidity buffer for redemptions
  • Monitoring of market conditions and risk management

This open model creates a dynamic marketplace of competing vault strategies, driving innovation, efficiency, and better yields for users.

Security​

As with all of the Vesu infrastructure we put a strong focus on the security of Vesu Vaults.
