# MetaVault - Introduction

#### **What are MetaVaults?**

It's a new infrastructure layer on top of permissionless yield pools. It formalizes the curator role in the Spectra ecosystem, allowing for liquidity management on behalf of depositors and earning fees in the process.

Liquidity providers deposit once. Curators handle new pool additions, rollovers, rebalancing, and YT yield compounding - onchain, with guardrails.

#### **Key Benefits for Curators**

:white\_check\_mark: **The first curated vault design for the yield tokenization space** \
Manage liquidity, build a track record in the yield tokenization space, and earn performance and management fees in the process.\
\
:white\_check\_mark: **Vault address, permanent live -** immune to pool expiries.\
Easy to integrate, promote, and route liquidity to. No more “new link per maturity”. 

:white\_check\_mark: **Own and control the PT/YT issuing stack fully**\
Deeper customization, enhanced setup control, and better coordination with existing curated vaults on lending protocols like Morpho.

:white\_check\_mark: **MetaVault visibility in the Spectra App**

Spectra is the second-largest yield protocol in DeFi with high daily App traffic. A dedicated MetaVault section is coming to the Spectra App, where MetaVaults will be listed and promoted. MetaVault curators expose themselves to organic TVL inflows and recognition.

#### **Key Problems MetaVaults Solve**

**Expiry Friction for LPs**\
No more manual rollovers, fragmented links, or short TVL cycles

**Earnings Clarity**\
MetaVaults expose performance clearly through the **sharePrice**, making vault appreciation and earnings from liquidity provision more transparent to users.

**Market and liquidity depth continuity**\
Each new pool maturity used to fragment liquidity and market momentum. Curators can now rollover liquidity in full at lightspeed to ensure market and liquidity depth continuity for clients and their own needs.

#### Examples of MetaVault Strategies

#### **Standalone Curator: USDC Yield Maximizer**

* **Setup:** A curator (e.g., Steakhouse) launches a USDC-denominated MetaVault.
* **Strategy:** Allocate across top-performing stablecoin pools on Spectra (USDC, USDO, GHO, crvUSD), auto-rolling liquidity as pools expire, and redirecting YT yield.
* **Objective:** Build the highest-yielding USDC MetaVault in DeFi with continuous compounding.

#### **Curator × Protocol: Resolv USR MetaVault by Gauntlet**

* **Setup:** A protocol (Resolv) partners with a curator (Gauntlet) to operate **USR MetaVault**.
* **Strategy:** Allocate across all Resolv-related Spectra markets (stUSR, USR, RLP, yvCurve-GHO-USR).
* **Objective:** Concentrate and deepen liquidity for Resolv’s yield ecosystem with the goal of listing PTs across Morpho and Aave.
