Introducing the First Exponent Vault: Ex-ETH V1

Website | Litepaper | Twitter | Medium | Discord

In this post, we’ll dive into the details of the underlying strategy for the first Exponent vault, Ex-ETH V1.

Why Ex-ETH?

Throughout 2021, we’ve seen countless DeFi and NFT projects raise capital to begin building their products. The challenge for them, however, is finding a solution to effectively manage the capital raised in a way that generates dependable cash flow for long-term operations and development. For most projects, this means striking a balance between:

  1. Growing stablecoins to fund operations and salary
  2. Accumulating ETH to cover on-chain activities and grow treasury
  3. Protecting the raise or revenue principal while managing the long-term budget
  4. Accessing on-chain products that are easy to understand and require very low levels of engagement from the team

The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile. Early-stage teams and communities will find it increasingly difficult to carry these capital objectives efficiently as their capital needs grow.

The New 60/40 for Projects and DAOs

Ex-ETH is a managed vault that seeks long-term growth for liquid capital in DAO and project treasuries. The vault does this by Stable growth strategies are defined as strategies that aim to consistently generate low double-digit APY across market cycles.

The vault targets a 60/40 portfolio allocation that consists of:

  1. 60% ETH and ETH derivatives with a target APY of 3–5%
  2. 40% income-generating stablecoins with a target APY of 5–12%

With Ex-ETH V1, teams, projects, and DAOs can rest assured that their capital will be allocated productively, tackling future operational and capital expenditures that will come their way — thus enabling them to focus on their core competency without the need to manage assets themselves.

Being a DAO ourselves, . Our strategists have already started working on future products, services, and strategies that will change the future of DAO capital allocation. This is only the beginning, anon.

What’s Next? 🦊 🥽

The Vault mainnet Beta is live and accepting deposits. We will start rebalancing the vault by the end of this week.

Over the next few months, you can expect to see new vaults and strategies being added, along with DAO-related activities to build up capital allocator communities.
