# Welcome to GLAM

> Onchain infrastructure for institutional asset management and tokenization.

<img noZoom={true} src="https://res.cloudinary.com/devbkdecu/image/upload/v1737121499/doc-banner-4_fqoecx.png" />

GLAM is a protocol for programmable investment infrastructure on Solana. It provides composable primitives like vaults, mints, integrations, policies, and permissions to launch tokenized products and onchain strategies with precision and control.

Whether you manage a treasury, run an investment strategy, or create products for others to invest in, GLAM handles the operational complexity so you can focus on what matters.

## Use Cases

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Tokenized Vaults" icon="binary" iconType="sharp-solid">
    Create transparent investment products that external investors can access.

    Launch funds, structured products, or managed strategies with embedded compliance and automated investor operations. Maintain operational control while automating flows, fee collection, and policy enforcement.

    *Designed for: Asset managers, institutions, protocol teams, investment advisors*
  </Card>

  <Card title="Vaults" icon="vault" iconType="sharp-solid">
    Manage your own assets with fine-grained access controls and seamless integrations.

    Deploy treasury funds, automate DeFi strategies, or manage portfolios with fine-grained access controls and risk management. Delegate specific permissions while maintaining control and enforce compliance rules at the protocol level.

    *Designed for: DAOs, family offices, treasury teams, sophisticated investors*

## Architecture

GLAM separates asset management into programmable components that work together:

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Vaults" icon="diamonds-4" iconType="sharp-solid">
    Vaults manage assets with embedded risk controls and automated operations. Define who can act, what they can do, and which protocols they can access. Rules are recorded and enforced onchain at the protocol level.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mints" icon="grid-round-2" iconType="sharp-solid">
    Mints turn vaults into investable products. Add investor access, compliance rules, and token distribution while keeping operational control. Handle subscriptions, redemptions, and regulatory requirements automatically.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Capabilities

<Card title="Native Protocol Integrations">
  Connect to leading Solana protocols for trading, lending, staking, and liquidity provision with built-in safeguards and policy enforcement. Each integration includes risk controls and operational boundaries designed for institutional use.
</Card>

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Onchain Access Control">
    Delegate specific permissions to team members, automated systems, or external managers without giving up control. Assign trading rights or protocol access on a per-wallet basis with granular permissions.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Programmable Policies">
    Enforce rules automatically at the protocol level. Define asset allowlists, protocol restrictions, delegation boundaries, and compliance requirements that execute without human oversight or intervention.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Card title="Automated Pricing and Operations">
  Calculate NAV across DeFi positions and automate subscription and redemption flows with transparent pricing. Handle complex fee structures including management fees, performance fees, hurdle rates, and high-water marks.
