# 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.
