What buyers ask

What chains and protocols ask before funding a vault

Is there real demand for this vault?

Anchor vaults give wallets and apps in your ecosystem a default place to earn on stablecoins, and Upshift brings distribution through the app and SDK.

We only pay incentives against TVL we can see.

Vault TVL and allocations are readable onchain, and incentives can be tied to measured deposits.

Can you give us a menu of curators?

Yes. Upshift works with a network of professional curators who run vaults at different risk levels.

Will deposits stay on our chain?

The vault deploys on your chain and routes into your ecosystem's protocols, within the limits the mandate sets.

Our foundation needs its own DD.

The contracts have had 10 smart contract audits by 6 independent firms, and your team gets the data room and DDQ answers.

FAQs

How does a blockchain or protocol bootstrap stablecoin liquidity?

With an anchor vault for its main stablecoin, run by professional curators and routed into its own DeFi protocols. A pre-deposit vault can also gather deposits before mainnet or a token launch, and deploys them on day one.

What is a pre-deposit vault?

A vault that takes deposits before a chain or protocol goes live. Depositors hold vault shares from the start, and the assets move into the new ecosystem once it launches.

Can incentives be tied to real deposits?

Vault TVL and allocations are readable onchain, which lets a foundation measure what its incentives bring in.

Who runs the vault strategy?

Professional curators, inside a mandate the policy engine enforces onchain.

Is Upshift custodial?

Upshift vaults are non-custodial. Curators can only move funds between whitelisted protocols.

Are the yields guaranteed?

No. Vault rates float with market conditions.

Which chains does Upshift support?

30+ chains, including Ethereum, Base, Monad, Stellar, Flare and Solana.
