Understanding these distinct roles and their interactions is essential for proper vault functioning and maintaining appropriate separation of duties throughout the system. #### Curator The `CURATOR` role grants rights to manage vault liquidity allocations, rebalancing, and redemptions between settlements: * Deposit and withdraw liquidity across Spectra liquidity pools * Set allowances for enabled markets on Spectra protocol components * Wrap/Unwrap and Deposit/Withdraw from interest-bearing tokens and Spectra Wrappers #### Accountant The `ACCOUNTANT` role is responsible for tracking vault performance, reporting the vault assets by settling the vault. This role is granted to an oracle that works with curators to ensure timely redemptions. The accountant must: * Settle the vault according to the defined schedule * Alert the curator about excessive losses or significant net redemptions * Warn curators when insufficient assets are available for upcoming settlements * Report any pricing discrepancies or monitoring service issues to the development team #### Spectra DAO The `SPECTRA DAO` serves as the system administrator, responsible for: * Managing version upgrades and pausing functionality * Configuring Zodiac role allocation * deallocating funds * Verifying and expediting urgent timelocked operations * Maintaining ultimate ownership of the SAFE with the highest privilege level #### Guardian :shield: The `GUARDIAN` role grants the right to revoke a harmful time-locked operation --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
