# Scope & Positioning #### Purpose of SAFV SAFV is designed to: * abstract the complexity of Supra AutoVault primitives * standardize vault construction, interfaces, and lifecycle * improve composability, auditability, and developer ergonomics * enable rapid deployment of fully automated financial strategies SAFV does not redefine AutoVaults.\ It provides a canonical construction layer for building consistently on top of Supra’s native execution environment. #### Position in the Supra AutoFi Stack SAFV operates strictly as a middleware layer. Layer—Responsibility * Supra AutoFi—MoveVM execution, native automation, oracles, and risk primitives. * SAFV—Vault construction framework, standards, templates, abstractions. * Applications — Strategy vaults, index products, delta-neutral systems, trading strategies. This separation is intentional and foundational to the long-term scalability of the ecosystem. * Supra AutoFi defines what is possible * SAFV defines how it is built * Applications define what users interact with #### What SAFV Is — and Is Not SAFV Defines * a standardized framework for constructing strategy-driven vaults * reusable abstractions for strategy execution and asset issuance * design principles informed by DeFi practice and structured finance theory SAFV Does Not Define * a consumer-facing product specification * a no-code strategy studio * governance, incentives, or token economics These are downstream layers that can be built on top of SAFV without modifying the framework itself. #### Relationship to AutoVault, AutoRisk, and AutoFi * AutoFi provides the execution environment * AutoVaults provide trustless execution containers * AutoRisk provides protocol-level risk primitives SAFV sits above these primitives. It does not replace or compete with them.\ Instead, it captures their capabilities into a repeatable construction model that developers can rely on across products. #### Terminology Note Throughout SAFV documentation, the term “asset” refers specifically to tokenised claims on strategy-driven vaults. It does not refer to: * standalone speculative tokens * discretionary financial instruments * governance representations Asset value in SAFV is derived exclusively from deterministic, on-chain execution enforced by vault and strategy logic.
