Vault Configuration Guide

Here is a guide to choose the configuration of vault that matches your needs.

Vault selection guide

1. Choose your underlying

There exist 2 major families of vaults, depending on their underlying :

• Single Protocol Vaults, that sit on top of a single restaking protocol.
• Cross Protocol Vaults, that aggregate several restaking protocols in a single place.

2. Native or not?

• In a Native vault, the staker will be able to deposit native ETH, that will be first staked on the Beacon Chain, and then restaked on a restaking protocol to secure AVSs or SSNs.

• In an ERC-20 vault, a staker can deposit any ERC-20 token, including LSTs, Bitcoin derivatives, etc that is going to be restaked.

As you may have figured out, some vault types are not available yet, and will be released in upcoming versions.

3. Define your vault's settings

Needed parameters at creation

Once you have chosen which vault suits you best and which parameters are expected, you will find a detailed Creation Walkthrough in the dedicated sub-section.

During the process, you will have to set a series of parameters, specific to the vault, that are described in the following section.

You will also have to attribute different roles to addresses that will be in charge of several curation tasks during vault lifecycle.
