tokenised_fund.franklin.vault

Documentation for eth_defi.tokenised_fund.franklin.vault Python module.

Franklin Templeton Benji tokenised-fund adapter.

Benji’s Ethereum fund tokens are permissioned ERC-20 share contracts backed by Franklin Templeton’s transfer-agent and recordkeeping platform. They are not ERC-4626 vaults: public subscriptions, redemptions and transfers require issuer authorisation and use protocol-specific servicing flows.

class FranklinVault

Bases: eth_defi.vault.base.VaultBase

Read-only adapter for Franklin Templeton Benji Ethereum fund shares.

spec – Chain and fund-token address.
token_cache – ERC-20 metadata cache.
features – Shared pipeline feature flags.

Returns

Token wrapper instance.

Maybe None for broken vaults like https://arbiscan.io/address/0x9d0fbc852deccb7dcdd6cb224fa7561efda74411#code

Note

None results are not cached — the next access will retry the on-chain call. This avoids permanently caching a transient RPC failure.

property deposit_manager: eth_defi.vault.deposit_redeem.VaultDepositManager: Deposit manager assocaited with this vault

fetch_available_liquidity(block_identifier='latest')

Get the amount of denomination token available for immediate withdrawal.

Only applicable to lending protocol vaults (IPOR, Euler, Morpho, Gearbox, etc.). Non-lending protocols should leave this method unimplemented.

Note: maxRedeem(address(0)) does NOT work as a proxy for available liquidity because it requires a specific address that has already deposited shares. For address(0), balanceOf is always 0, so maxRedeem returns 0 regardless of actual liquidity.

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) – Block to query. Defaults to “latest”.

Returns: Amount in denomination token units (human-readable Decimal).
Return type: Optional[decimal.Decimal]

fetch_deposit_next_open()

Get when deposits will next be open.

For epoch-based vaults (Ostium, D2), return calculated window open time
For non-epoch vaults (Plutus, IPOR, Morpho), return None
Override in protocol-specific subclasses

Returns

Naive UTC datetime when deposits will next be available, or None if:

Deposits are currently open
Timing is unpredictable (manually controlled)
Protocol does not support timing information

Return type

Optional[datetime.datetime]

fetch_redemption_next_open()

Get when withdrawals/redemptions will next be open.

For epoch-based vaults (Ostium, D2), return calculated window open time
For non-epoch vaults (Plutus, IPOR, Morpho), return None
Override in protocol-specific subclasses

Returns

Naive UTC datetime when withdrawals will next be available, or None if:

Withdrawals are currently open
Timing is unpredictable (manually controlled)
Protocol does not support timing information

Return type

Optional[datetime.datetime]

fetch_utilisation_percent(block_identifier='latest')

Get the percentage of assets currently lent out.

Only applicable to lending protocol vaults (IPOR, Euler, Morpho, Gearbox, etc.). Non-lending protocols should leave this method unimplemented.

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) – Block to query. Defaults to “latest”.

Returns: Utilisation as float between 0.0 and 1.0 (0% to 100%).
Return type: Optional[float]

property flow_manager: eth_defi.vault.base.VaultFlowManager: Flow manager associated with this vault

get_deposit_fee(block_identifier)

Deposit fee is set to zero by default as vaults usually do not have deposit fees.

Internal: Use get_fee_data().

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) –
Return type: Optional[float]

get_deposit_manager_capability()

Return static public transaction-adapter support, if any.

This method deliberately does not attempt to construct a manager or query live pause, cap, epoch, balance, allow-list, or liquidity state. Adapters opt in only after their complete deposit and redemption lifecycles have focused coverage. None is therefore the safe default for unknown and protocol-specific vaults.

Returns: Adapter-specific capability object, or None when unsupported.
Return type: Optional[eth_defi.vault.deposit_redeem.VaultDepositManagerCapability]

get_estimated_lock_up()

What is the estimated lock-up period for this vault.

Returns: None if not know
Return type: Optional[datetime.timedelta]

get_fee_mode()

Get how this vault accounts its fees.

Return type: Optional[eth_defi.vault.fee.VaultFeeMode]

get_flags()

Get various vault state flags from the smart contract.

Override to add status flags
Also add flags from our manual flag list in eth_defi.vault.flag

Returns

Flag set.

Do not modify in place.

Return type

Return type: str

get_risk()

Get risk profile of this vault.

Return type: Optional[eth_defi.vault.risk.VaultTechnicalRisk]

get_withdraw_fee(block_identifier)

Withdraw fee is set to zero by default as vaults usually do not have withdraw fees.

Internal: Use get_fee_data().

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) –
Return type: float

has_custom_fees()

Does this vault have fees outside the shared fee model.

Custom fees cause risk in vault comparison because the shared management/performance/deposit/withdraw fee fields cannot describe the full fee structure.

Do not return True merely because a vault implements custom accessors for ordinary management, performance, deposit, or withdraw fees. Return True only when some vault fee cannot be reflected in those standard fields as a fee-like value.

Returns: True if the vault has fees outside the shared fee model.
Return type: bool

property info: eth_defi.vault.base.VaultInfo

Get info dictionary related to this vault deployment.

Get cached data on the various vault parameters

Returns: Vault protocol specific information dictionary

property share_token: eth_defi.token.TokenDetails

ERC-20 that presents vault shares.

User gets shares on deposit and burns them on redemption

first_seen_at_block: Optional[int]

Block number hint when this vault was deployed.

Must be set externally, as because of shitty Ethereum RPC we cannot query this. Allows us to avoid unnecessary work when scanning historical price data.
