High-fidelity decentralized engine for the synthesis and settlement of institutional-grade financial indices on Arbitrum.
VaultWorks provides a strong core for the next generation of asset management. By replacing legacy financial intermediation with a system of deterministic mathematical laws, we enable the creation and settlement of indices with absolute precision and cryptographic sovereignty.
Powered by Arbitrum Stylus (Rust), VaultWorks achieves near-native performance, allowing complex vector-based financial products to operate at the speed and scale required by global capital markets.
The ecosystem is structured as a Castle—a high-integrity environment—where the protocol itself autonomously guards the Access Control List (ACL) and secures the perimeter against unauthorized execution.
| Role | Focus | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Factor | Trading Strategy | Manages pricing and facilitates asset trading for Index orders. |
| Banker | Inventory Management | Oversees asset inventory and enforces operational limits. |
| Guildmaster | Issuance & Governance | Manages Index creation and commands the Worksman to deploy Vaults. |
| Constable | Functions & Security | Architects protocol functions and assigns sovereign roles to them. |
| Scribe | Signature Verification | Verifies cryptographic signatures and tallies governance votes. |
| Worksman | Vault Construction | Constructs and deploys sovereign Vaults. |
VaultWorks separates computational execution from top-level business logic to ensure a disciplined financial state.
- The Vaults: They implement ERC-20 & ERC-4626. High-security attachments that house Index definitions, asset weights, and user orders. They are built by the Worksman on command of the Guildmaster.
- The Gate: An implementation of the Proxy (ERC-1967) pattern providing secure, structured access points. The architecture utilizes a primary gate to the Castle, a dedicated Gate to the Clerk—the interface where the crew interacts to execute orders and access liquidity—and individual Gates for each Vault attachment.
- The Clerk: An implementation of the UUPS (ERC-1822) pattern; the Clerk executes deterministic mathematical formulas on the Abacus and records the final state in stored vectors.
- The Abacus: The computational engine that performs high-velocity, zero-copy mathematics, bypassing the gas overhead of standard EVM implementations. Also known as the VIL VM: Decentralized Vector Intermediate Language Virtual Machine.

Gas-Efficient Vector Processing for On-Chain Index Order Execution
VaultWorks is engineered for the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and efficiency.
- Speed & Precision: Data is represented as vectors of 128-bit decimals with 256-bit computational precision, ensuring exacting accuracy while maintaining WASM binaries under the 24KiB limit.
- Gas Efficiency: By utilizing a custom-built VIL VM, we eliminate the overhead of standard blockchain
SLOAD/SSTOREoperations, ensuring the core remains strong under high-frequency load. - Financial Accuracy: Trading is driven by maximizing available margin (reducing liability through incremental pegging) using the math of equity, assets, and liability, represented here as Supply, Demand, and Delta vectors.
