# Curate

> Operator documentation for creating, activating, automating, and safely managing SuperVaults.

## API Surface

Curate is backed by three main services:

* [Erebor](/curate/api/erebor) — vault management, settings, registries, merkle workflows, upkeep, users, notifications, and pause controls.
* [Strategy Engine](/curate/api/strategy) — strategies, ordering, live shards, intent projections, fills, and emergency locks.
* [OMS](/curate/api/oms) — DeFiX intent execution, events, hook transactions, and session-key readiness.

See [Curate API Overview](/curate/api/overview) for the control-plane map.

<Note>
  Curate prepares transactions and displays operational state. Protocol state changes still happen through signed onchain transactions from the authorized manager wallet.
