GLAM Vaults provide core infrastructure for managing onchain portfolios with automated risk controls and fine grained, configurable permissions. Modular components and streamlined workflows reduce operational complexity, enforce policy with precision, and support strategy execution while maintaining strong security guarantees and transparent onchain operations.

​
Vault Types

GLAM Vaults are programmable accounts designed for secure, policy-driven asset management. They support two primary configurations depending on the use case: Tokenized Vaults and Self-managed Vaults.

​
Tokenized Vaults

Tokenized Vaults issue shares to external investors and are designed for launching onchain investment products. These vaults include automated mechanisms for subscription, redemption, fee accrual, and policy enforcement. Vault shares are tokenized using GLAM Mints and distributed according to configured terms.

This structure allows managers to scale compliant, transparent strategies while maintaining control over permissions, pricing, and risk boundaries.

Use Cases: Onchain funds, structured products, actively managed portfolios

Key Features:

  • Investor-facing share issuance
  • Automated fee logic (subscription, redemption, performance)
  • Enforcement of compliance, access, and liquidity policies
  • Support for notice and settlement periods
  • Full auditability of flows and valuation

​
Self-managed Vaults

Self-managed Vaults are private vaults used to run internal strategies, manage treasury assets, or automate portfolio operations. These vaults do not issue investor-facing tokens and are often used by DAOs, family offices, or power users looking for fine-grained control.

Permissions, integrations, and policies can be configured to enforce execution boundaries without requiring tokenization.

Use Cases: DAO treasuries, proprietary strategies, delegated execution environments

Key Features:

  • No tokenized share issuance
  • Configurable access control for delegate accounts
  • Integration allowlists for DeFi protocols
  • Onchain enforcement of risk and compliance policies
  • Native support for Solana-based program interactions
