Vault Deployment

Deploy a new vault using the Orion CLI.

Prerequisites​

  • SDK installed (see SDK Installation)
  • .env configured with:
    • RPC_URL
    • VAULT_DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY
    • CURATOR_ADDRESS

What is an RPC URL?​

An RPC URL is the endpoint the SDK uses to communicate with contracts on the blockchain network.

It’s provided by a node or node service provider (e.g., Alchemy) and allows the SDK to send transactions and query blockchain data.

Getting an RPC URL​

You can get an RPC URL from multiple providers. Below are three popular options:

1. Alchemy​

  1. Go to Alchemy and create a free account.
  2. Click "Create App" in your dashboard.
  3. Select:
    • Chain – Ethereum;
    • Network – Sepolia Testnet.
  4. Once created, click your app and copy the HTTP URL — this is your RPC URL.
  5. Paste it into your .env file:
RPC_URL=https://eth-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_API_KEY

2. Infura​

  1. Go to Infura and sign up.
  2. Create a new project in your dashboard.
  3. Select the Sepolia network.
  4. Copy the HTTPS endpoint and paste it into your .env file:
RPC_URL=https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/YOUR_API_KEY

3. QuickNode​

  1. Go to QuickNode and create a free account.
  2. Click "Create Endpoint" and choose the Sepolia network.
  3. Copy the HTTP Provider URL and paste it into your .env file:
RPC_URL=https://YOUR-UNIQUE-ENDPOINT.quiknode.pro/YOUR_API_KEY

Deploy a Transparent Vault​

orion deploy-vault \
  --vault-type transparent \
  --name "Algorithmic Liquidity Provision & Hedging Agent" \
  --symbol "ALPHA" \
  --fee-type hard_hurdle \
  --performance-fee 100 \
  --management-fee 10

What this does:

  • Deploys an ERC-7540 vault smart contract;
  • Registers the curator address set in your .env;
  • Sets the fee type and fees amounts;
  • Makes allocations visible onchain.

Deploy an Encrypted Vault​

orion deploy-vault \
  --vault-type encrypted \
  --name "Quantitative Uncertainty Analysis of Network Topologies" \
  --symbol "QUANT" \
  --fee-type high_water_mark \
  --performance-fee 0 \
  --management-fee 20

What this does:

  • Deploys an ERC-7540 vault smart contract;
  • Registers the curator address set in your .env;
  • Sets the fee type and fees amounts;
  • Makes allocations confidential.

Verify Deployment​

  • The CLI outputs the vault contract address;
  • Add it to your curator records and share it with users.
