Vaults overview

One tap deposits your tokenized stock or USDC into a strategy vault that writes options for you.

Autopilot is the yield side of Vanterra. One tap deposits your tokenized stock (or USDC) into a strategy vault. The vault writes options on your behalf, and the premium streams back to you every second.

The three vaults#

Cash-secured putUSDCSells puts backed by your USDC and takes delivery of the share if assignedYou may buy the share below market

Rules are public and fixed per epoch#

  • The strategy engine chooses strikes and expiries from rules that are published on-chain per vault.
  • Vault parameters are fixed per epoch and visible before you deposit.
  • Nothing about a vault's behaviour changes mid-epoch.

How you get paid#

Premium is received once per option sold, then released to depositors linearly, per second. Your accrued premium is withdrawable at any time. Where a tokenized stock passes dividends through to holders, yield stacking collects them in the same position.

Tools built on vaults#

  • Ladder builder spreads a position across strikes and expiries to smooth yield.
  • Shield mode hedges a portfolio with protective puts in one click.
  • Earnings mode adds IV-crush vaults timed around earnings releases (Holder+).
