RoycoTrancheVault

Documentation for eth_defi.erc_4626.vault_protocol.royco.vault.RoycoTrancheVault Python class.

class RoycoTrancheVault

Bases: eth_defi.erc_4626.vault_protocol.royco.vault.RoycoVault

Royco senior/junior tranche vault support.

Royco tranche vaults are nearly ERC-4626, but use a custom accounting interface:

totalAssets() returns AssetClaims(stAssets, jtAssets, nav)
convertToAssets(uint256) returns the same AssetClaims tuple
redeem(...) returns AssetClaims and emits Redeem instead of the standard ERC-4626 Withdraw event
TRANCHE_TYPE() returns 0 for senior and 1 for junior

The canonical value for vault price history is AssetClaims.nav in Royco NAV_UNIT precision. The standard ERC-4626 reader only decodes the first tuple word, so this class provides tuple-aware current and historical readers and converts raw NAV values through the tranche token eth_defi.token.TokenDetails.

Examples:

Parameters

web3 – Connection we bind this instance to
spec – Chain, address tuple
token_cache –
Cache used with fetch_erc20_details() to avoid multiple calls to the same token.

Reduces the number of RPC calls when scanning multiple vaults.
features – Pass vault feature flags along, externally detected.
default_block_identifier –
Override block identifier for on-chain metadata reads.

When None, use get_safe_cached_latest_block_number() (the default, safe for broken RPCs). Set to "latest" for freshly deployed vaults whose contracts do not exist at the safe-cached block.
require_denomination_token – If True, accessing denomination_token will raise RuntimeError when the on-chain lookup returns None.

__init__(web3, spec, token_cache=None, features=None, default_block_identifier=None, require_denomination_token=False)

Parameters

web3 (web3.main.Web3) – Connection we bind this instance to
spec (eth_defi.vault.base.VaultSpec) – Chain, address tuple
token_cache (Optional[dict]) –
Cache used with fetch_erc20_details() to avoid multiple calls to the same token.

Reduces the number of RPC calls when scanning multiple vaults.
features (Optional[set[eth_defi.erc_4626.core.ERC4626Feature]]) – Pass vault feature flags along, externally detected.
default_block_identifier (Optional[Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, hexbytes.main.HexBytes, int]]) –
Override block identifier for on-chain metadata reads.

When None, use get_safe_cached_latest_block_number() (the default, safe for broken RPCs). Set to "latest" for freshly deployed vaults whose contracts do not exist at the safe-cached block.
require_denomination_token (bool) – If True, accessing denomination_token will raise RuntimeError when the on-chain lookup returns None.

property address: eth_typing.evm.HexAddress: Get the vault smart contract address.

can_check_deposit()

Check if maxDeposit(address(0)) can be used to check global deposit availability.

Most ERC-4626 vaults implement maxDeposit in a way that returns meaningful values when called with address(0):

Returns 0 when deposits are globally closed/capped
Returns a positive value indicating maximum deposit allowed

Override to return False in subclasses where maxDeposit(address(0)) doesn’t provide meaningful global availability information.

Returns: True if maxDeposit(address(0)) returns meaningful values for global deposit availability checking.
Return type: bool

can_check_redeem()

Check if maxRedeem(address(0)) can be used to check global redemption availability.

Most protocols return 0 for maxRedeem(address(0)) because that address has no balance/shares, not because redemptions are closed:

Gearbox: maxRedeem returns min(balanceOf(owner), convertToShares(availableLiquidity))
Most vaults: Return 0 because address(0) has no shares

Some protocols do use maxRedeem(address(0)) meaningfully:

Morpho, IPOR, Plutus: Return 0 when redemptions are globally blocked

Override to return True in subclasses that support address(0) redemption checks.

Returns: True if maxRedeem(address(0)) returns meaningful values for global redemption availability checking.
Return type: bool

property chain_id: int: Chain this vault is on

property denomination_token: Optional[eth_defi.token.TokenDetails]

Get the token which denominates the vault valuation

Used in deposits and redemptions
Used in NAV calculation
Used in profit benchmarks
Usually USDC

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

property description: Optional[str]: Full vault description from Royco offchain metadata.

property erc_7540: bool

Is this ERC-7540 vault with asynchronous deposits.

For example previewDeposit() function and other functions will revert

fetch_asset_claims(block_identifier='latest')

Fetch current Royco tranche AssetClaims.

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.
Returns: Decoded asset claims from totalAssets().
Return type: eth_defi.erc_4626.vault_protocol.royco.vault.RoycoAssetClaims

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”.
Raises: NotImplementedError – For non-lending protocol vaults.
Returns: Amount in denomination token units (human-readable Decimal).
Return type: Optional[decimal.Decimal]

fetch_denomination_token()

Read denomination token from onchain.

Use denomination_token() for cached access.

Return type: Optional[eth_defi.token.TokenDetails]

fetch_denomination_token_address()

Get the asset() denomination token address of this vault.

Results are disk-cached per (chain_id, vault_address) via eth_defi.erc_4626.vault_token when the vault was constructed with a eth_defi.token.TokenDiskCache and no pinned default_block_identifier. The denomination token is immutable post-deployment, so the cached value is correct regardless of which block the caller would have asked for.

Only a definitive non-null answer is persisted. The None path taken on revert / broken contract is never cached, matching the behaviour of eth_defi.vault.base.VaultBase.denomination_token() which explicitly avoids memoising None so transient failures can be retried.

To disable the cache, pass token_cache=None (or any non- TokenDiskCache dict) when constructing the vault, or construct with a pinned default_block_identifier.

Returns: Denomination token address, or None if the vault contract is broken and did not return a valid address.
Return type: Optional[eth_typing.evm.HexAddress]

fetch_deposit_closed_reason()

Check if deposits are closed using maxDeposit(address(0)).

Uses the ERC-4626 standard maxDeposit function to determine if deposits are available. Returns a human-readable reason with the max deposit amount if deposits are restricted.

Returns: Human-readable string if deposits are closed/restricted, or None if deposits are open (maxDeposit > 0).
Return type: Optional[str]

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_info()

Use info() property for cached access.

Returns: See LagoonVaultInfo
Return type: eth_defi.erc_4626.vault.ERC4626VaultInfo

fetch_nav(block_identifier=None)

Fetch current tranche NAV from Royco AssetClaims.nav.

Parameters: block_identifier (Optional[Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]]) – Block to query.
Returns: Vault NAV in Royco NAV units.
Return type: decimal.Decimal

fetch_portfolio(universe, block_identifier=None, allow_fallback=True)

Read the current token balances of a vault.

SHould be supported by all implementations

Parameters

universe (eth_defi.vault.base.TradingUniverse) –
block_identifier (Optional[Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, hexbytes.main.HexBytes, int]]) –
allow_fallback (bool) –

Return type

eth_defi.vault.base.VaultPortfolio

fetch_redemption_closed_reason()

Check if redemptions are closed using maxRedeem(address(0)).

Only works for protocols that implement maxRedeem in a way that returns meaningful values for address(0). Most protocols return 0 because address(0) has no shares, not because redemptions are closed.

Returns: Human-readable string if redemptions are closed, or None if redemptions are open or check is not supported.
Return type: Optional[str]

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_share_price(block_identifier)

Fetch share price from convertToAssets(1 share).nav.

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.
Returns: Share price in Royco NAV units.
Return type: decimal.Decimal

fetch_share_token()

Read share token details onchain.

Use share_token() for cached access.

Return type: eth_defi.token.TokenDetails

fetch_share_token_address(block_identifier='latest')

Get share token of this vault.

Vault itself (ERC-4626)
share() accessor (ERC-7575)

Results are disk-cached per (chain_id, vault_address) via eth_defi.erc_4626.vault_token when the vault was constructed with a eth_defi.token.TokenDiskCache. Under normal circumstances the block_identifier argument is effectively ignored on cache hits — ERC-4626 share tokens are immutable post-deployment, so the cached value is correct regardless of which block the caller asked for.

Only a definitive answer from the chain is ever persisted: a successful call, or a revert matching KNOWN_SHARE_TOKEN_ERROR_MESSAGES (which positively classifies the contract as non-ERC-7575). Transient RPC failures (ProbablyNodeHasNoBlock, HTTP 502) fall back to self.vault_address but are not written to the cache, so a flaky node cannot poison a real ERC-7575 vault’s entry.

To disable the cache, pass token_cache=None (or any non- TokenDiskCache dict) when constructing the vault, or construct with a pinned default_block_identifier to force the uncached historical-read path on every call.

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, hexbytes.main.HexBytes, int]) – Block to query. Cache is only consulted/written when the caller passes the default "latest" and the vault instance has no pinned default_block_identifier.
Return type: eth_typing.evm.HexAddress

fetch_total_assets(block_identifier)

Fetch the tranche NAV from AssetClaims.nav.

Royco’s totalAssets() does not return a single ERC-4626 asset amount. It returns AssetClaims where nav is the full net asset value in Royco NAV_UNIT precision.

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.
Returns: Vault NAV in Royco NAV units.
Return type: decimal.Decimal
