Vaulta is an AI-driven, autonomous yield infrastructure protocol built on Base. This documentation covers the protocol architecture, vault products, $vsUSD token mechanics, and the AI optimizer engine.

The core Vaulta flow is designed to be simple for users while complex under the hood:

// 1. User deposits USDC into a vault
await vault.deposit(1000_000000, user.address); // 1000 USDC (6 decimals)

// 2. Smart contract mints $vsUSD 1:1
// vsUSD.balanceOf(user) === 1000e18

// 3. AI optimizer routes capital (off-chain decision, on-chain execution)
// Allocates to: Morpho (40%), Aerodrome (35%), Ondo (25%)

// 4. Yield compounds automatically — vsUSD appreciates
// After 12 months at 11.2%: 1000 vsUSD → worth ~$1,112 USDC

// 5. User redeems anytime — no lock-up
await vault.redeem(vsUSD.balanceOf(user), user.address);

The AI optimizer runs on an hourly cycle, evaluating APY rates, liquidity depth, counterparty risk, and gas efficiency before making any rebalancing decision. All decisions are executed as on-chain transactions and are fully verifiable.

The Vaulta testnet is live on Base Sepolia (Chain ID: 84532). You can simulate the full deposit flow without any real funds.

Visit the Testnet App to simulate deposits across all three vaults. The interface shows live APY feeds, AI rebalance logs, and the full transaction simulation flow.

The Stable Vault maintains 100% stablecoin exposure, deploying capital across blue-chip DeFi lending protocols and LP positions on Base.

The Boost Vault blends on-chain DeFi yield with real-world asset income through Ondo Finance and Centrifuge, targeting enhanced risk-adjusted returns.

The Alpha Vault pursues maximum yield through perpetual funding rate capture, BTCFi yield strategies, and x402 agentic payment flow integration.

$vsUSD is a yield-bearing ERC-20 stablecoin issued by Vaulta. When you deposit USDC into any vault, you receive $vsUSD at a 1:1 ratio. As the vault earns yield, $vsUSD appreciates in value relative to USDC.

The AI optimizer is an off-chain agent that monitors on-chain data and submits allocation decisions as transactions. Its inputs include real-time APY data, TVL depth, counterparty risk scores, and gas prices.

The optimizer runs on an hourly cycle. If market conditions change significantly (e.g., sudden liquidity drain, APY spike), it can trigger an immediate rebalance. All decisions are recorded on-chain.
