tokenised_fund.shift.descriptions

Documentation for eth_defi.tokenised_fund.shift.descriptions Python module.

Curated, deterministic descriptions for reviewed ShiftVault products.

Shift’s public app currently embeds its product catalogue in the versioned frontend bundle instead of exposing a stable product-metadata endpoint. Keep the descriptions here so scanner output does not depend on downloading and parsing a changing application bundle at runtime.

Sources used for this curation:

External point programmes, target rates and allocations can change. The text below describes the published strategy design rather than promising a return, reward allocation or immediate redemption liquidity.

Shift also provides a [Pendle community pool](https://shiftprotocol.gitbook.io/shift/using-shift/pendle-yield-pools) for separating principal and yield/points exposure. Neither a displayed APR nor an external points programme is a fixed return.

Those programmes, their transferability and any bonus are external, time-dependent and not part of the vault's guaranteed share value. Deposits and redemptions follow Shift's executor-approved request and batch-settlement process, so a liquid token does not mean immediate redemption from the vault; see the [Shift FAQ](https://shiftprotocol.gitbook.io/shift/resources/faq) for the product lifecycle."), (42161, '0x956bdd9c18b786b082fd50c52722d254f0cb6964'): ShiftVaultDescription(short_description='Hedged Lighter LLP wrapper designed to retain a market-neutral profile while meeting LIT staking requirements.', long_description="[ltLLP](https://app.shiftprotocol.xyz/strategies/lt-llp) is Shift's wrapper around Lighter LLP.

Their rules, eligibility and value are controlled by external programmes and may change. Holders remain exposed to Lighter, hedge, funding, liquidity, smart-contract, TVL-feed and Shift executor risks; withdrawals require the normal Shift request and batch-resolution process described in the [Shift FAQ](https://shiftprotocol.gitbook.io/shift/resources/faq).")}
