Build the Perfect Vault with Lagoon Finance

Even today, DeFi remains a gated playground for nerds deep in the trenches and the terminally online. How do you tear down the barriers to entry? Lagoon Finance is part of the answer, by curating yield and keeping gains only one click away.

Vaults For All

Lagoon is a platform designed to launch, manage, and scale on-chain vaults for curators, either on behalf of DAOs, protocols, ecosystems or directly for themselves and their users.

With its modular design, Lagoon can support all sorts of needs.

Each vault relies on ERC-7540 to streamline the accounting of withdrawals and deposits, while a Safe wallet handles asset custody and strategy execution. On top of this, Zodiac modules enable role-based permissions, alongside the Karpatkey DeFi Kit defining standardized interactions with protocols.

As Lagoon is built on Safe, vault curators can accept deposits and process withdrawal requests coming from any EVM-compatible chain!

Lagoon enhances operational efficiency by offering unlimited user management and greater freedom in asset allocation to curators.

Several aspects of the vaults are customizable, including:

✦ Degrees of decentralization,
✦ Governance, timelocks & whitelists,
✦ Role lifecycle management,
✦ Shares valuation,
✦ Fee distribution.

Curators can adjust these settings as they wish.

But how is the value of the shares determined?

It's based on a valuation of vault holdings, debts and positions, occurring at different frequencies.Due to the asynchronous nature of some vaults, users can't know beforehand the value they will receive per share.

The curator has 2 options to determine the price of a share:

• Delegate the valuation to a price oracle (e.g. Octav’s very own API);
• Take the responsibility & value it themselves.

After data computation, a result is submitted to a committee for review. If the submission passes, the vault is updated.

After that comes the settlement period, where deposit requests are accepted and withdrawals processed.

Shares are always denominated in and redeemable for a single underlying token. Price per share corresponds to vault net value divided by outstanding shares.

Freely Control Fees

Up to 4 fee types can be assigned to a vault:

• Management fees,
• Performance fees (relative to a High Water Mark),
• Entry fees,
• Exit fees.

The fees can be played with independently, so don’t be afraid to mix and match!

Fee distribution is customizable, too: you can distribute them to different stakeholders or roles, depending on predefined agreements.They’re all collected during the settlement period.

Note that any changes to these fees will trigger a cooldown phase.

Basically, Lagoon enables curators to create & manage their own vault environment as they see fit, from governance structure to fee distribution.

Meanwhile, users can enter any strategy and earn interest with their favorite assets! Lagoon is still in beta, and will only get better from here. Octav believes they’ll be valuable in making DeFi easier for everyone.
