Vault

A Vault is a smart contract-based investment vehicle within the Arkis ecosystem that enables to allocate capital to Credit Managers, who actively manage this capital across multiple Liquidity Pools. Vaults introduce a layer of delegation and capital efficiency, enabling zero-trust asset management in DeFi.

Vaults combine the capital of passive LPs with the strategy execution of active Credit Managers in a transparent, non-custodial framework. This architecture ensures scalability of capital deployment while preserving transparency, composability, and capital security.

How Vaults Work

• Liquidity Providers (LPs) deposit stablecoins or other supported assets into a Vault.

• Credit Managers are authorized entities that receive delegated access to manage funds from the Vault. While Credit Managers can dynamically allocate funds across different pools, they can't withdraw funds externally, which ensures that Liquidity Providers' deposits are safe.

• Capital Allocation is dynamically adjusted by the Credit Manager across various Arkis Liquidity Pools based on yield opportunities, risk appetite, and strategy.

Key Features

• Dynamic Allocation: Credit Managers can reallocate funds across pools, update exposure, and optimize yield in real-time—all within risk and protocol constraints.

• Zero-Trust Infrastructure: Credit Managers never gain custody of funds. All operations are performed via smart contracts and governed by Arkis’s Margin Engine and Compliance Modules.

• Performance Fees: Credit Managers earn a performance fee (e.g., % of net profit) from the yield generated on the capital they manage.

• Capital Delegation: LPs do not need to actively manage strategies themselves—Vaults provide an automated, secure way to participate in high-yield DeFi without operational overhead.
