SuperVaults

Introduction

SuperVaults are flexible and secure vault primitives built to scale by leveraging the infrastructure provided in Superform core.

On top of the foundational features expected of modern vault products such as simplified access through a singular product, non-custodial management, and the composability and transparency of onchain architecture, SuperVaults enable:

• Permissionless Vault Creation: Anyone can create a new vault with Hooks, charge fees, and have validator support by paying upkeep

• Infinitely Flexible Execution: Validates and executes arbitrary Hooks created in Superform Core via Merkle proofs. These can be used to deposit, stake, bridge, loop, and arbitrary set of actions that have been validated in the root

• Security through Dual Merkle Validation: The system uses two Merkle trees for hook validation. A global root is managed by governance for protocol-wide hook approval and a strategy root is managed by strategists for vault-specific operations

• Automated Emergency Controls: Provides emergency withdrawal mechanisms with built-in pause functionality on circuit breakers

Institutional-Grade Security

SuperVaults enforce safety at every layer:

• Double-Merkle hook allowlisting & blacklisting at both global and strategy levels ensures vaults can only perform pre-approved actions like depositing, redeeming, swapping, and bridging. Everything timelocked, no arbitrary execution, no “manager key” risk, no discretionary movement of funds.

• Clear role separation across Managers, Validators, and Guardians. Managers set high-level parameters under timelock with the ability to execute the strategy only through pre-approved hooks, Validators attest price-per-share with bonded accountability, and Guardians oversee risk and can veto or pause unsafe changes.

• Validator-signed price-per-share (PPS) with economic slashing and insurance backstops.

• 7-day timelocks and Guardian veto rights ensure no configuration change or parameter update can happen instantly or out of view.

Efficient and Flexible

SuperVaults are engineered for scale:

• Native ERC-7540 compliance enable efficient flows for low-cost deposits & async withdrawals as well as onchain composability.

• The SuperBundler supports cross-chain deposits across 8+ networks with a single signature.

• SuperVaults can access any yield source using the modular hook engine. Strategies can evolve as markets do, without redeployments or protocol upgrades.

Full Transparency

Depositors don’t have to trust, they can verify through:

• A live transparency dashboard surfaces allocations, caps, validator signatures, and performance in real time.

• PPS can be recomputed by anyone, onchain or offchain with circuit breakers that pause abnormal behavior automatically.

• All underlying protocols can continuously be monitored for exploit vectors and governance risk and quickly allocated out of if needed.
