π§Liquid
Overview
Liquid vaults are automated DeFi strategies that give ether.fi users a simple access point to put their assets to work across the DeFi ecosystem. Users deposit a supported asset and, behind the scenes, the vault allocates across a diversified set of DeFi positions.
As DeFi integrations grow in number, it becomes challenging to keep up with the best opportunities. Some opportunities, such as concentrated liquidity on Uniswap V3, also require specific expertise to maximize performance. Liquid vaults remove that complexity by handling allocation, integration, and rebalancing automatically, so the vaults stay competitive as the market evolves and new protocols are added over time.
How Liquid is built
ether.fi's live Liquid vaults are built on one of two infrastructure providers:
Veda (BoringVault architecture) β the majority of Liquid vaults. Non-upgradeable core contracts, modular components, strict role separation, and Merkle-constrained strategies. See Veda Vault Architecture.
Midas β used for RWA and reserve-style vaults. See Midas Vault Architecture.
