Vault Creation

Creating a vault is the first step in setting up your portfolio. In Orion, vaults are ERC-7540 smart contracts that act as containers for your strategy, fee structure, and access controls and accounting. There are two main types of vaults:

  • Transparent vaults - Portfolio allocations are visible onchain, providing full transparency to users and the broader ecosystem.
  • Private (encrypted) vaults - Portfolio allocations are encrypted and remain confidential, protecting manager alpha while maintaining verifiable performance.

When creating a vault, you configure the following parameters:
