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.
