# Validation & Testing

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

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<br>

Only after these steps does a vault become publicly accessible.
