Validation & Testing

Every vault goes through a 4-phase process before public launch:

1. Simulation & Backtesting:

   • Curators test $100K notional strategies over 30–365 day windows

   • Simulated across market conditions and adversarial scenarios

2. Benchmark Testing:

   • Compared vs passive LPs and competitors

   • Metrics: net APY, gas costs, execution efficiency

3. Scaling Deployment:

   • Gradual deployment at 25–100% of capacity

   • Each phase monitored for 7–14 days

4. Live Track & Final Launch:

   • Minimum $100K tracked over 30–60 days

   • Must outperform passive LPs without breach of constraints

Only after these steps does a vault become publicly accessible.
