Documentation for eth_defi.erc_4626.vault_protocol.nest.vault.NestVault Python class.

class NestVault

Bases: eth_defi.erc_4626.vault.ERC4626Vault

Nest real-world-asset vault entrypoint.

Nest products have a dedicated share token and can offer multiple denomination and chain routes. Deposits and redemptions should use Nest’s Actions API: the public flow can require compliance checks, bridging and an asynchronous redemption claim. Consequently this reader does not certify the generic synchronous ERC-4626 deposit manager.

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.

property nest_vault_contract: web3.contract.contract.Contract

Load Nest-specific contract methods not included in the standard ABI.

Bind the verified interface to this chain’s deposit and redemption entrypoint rather than to its separate share token.

Returns: Deployed NestVault contract with the compact verified Nest ABI.

property nest_metadata: Optional[eth_defi.erc_4626.vault_protocol.nest.offchain_metadata.NestVaultMetadata]

Fetch cached first-party Nest product and route metadata.

The catalogue supplies advisory product content for this chain and address. Contract reads remain authoritative for vault accounting.

Returns: Nest API and CMS metadata for this chain-specific entrypoint.

property name: str

Use Nest’s current application name for active Arc products.

Other chains retain their onchain share-token name because the new application currently serves Arc routes only.

Returns: Current Arc display name or onchain share-token name.

property description: Optional[str]

Return Nest’s full first-party product description.

Use the CMS strategy explanation without inferring realised returns.

Returns: Description, or None when unpublished.

property short_description: Optional[str]

Return Nest’s concise first-party product summary.

Preserve the CMS summary independently of the full strategy text.

Returns: Summary, or None when unpublished.

property manager_name: Optional[str]

Return a reviewed Nest manager or the best available yield partner.

Yield partners are a CMS display list, so this label alone does not establish curator identity. Nest DAO’s primary curator identity is exported separately for the curator resolver.

Returns: Selected first-party partner or reviewed manager name.

get_strategy_tags()

Return reviewed tags for a Nest entrypoint address.

The maintained table covers eight researched product strategies. Other Nest routes remain unclassified until separately researched.

Returns: A copy of the tags, or None for an unmapped address.
Return type: Optional[set[eth_defi.vault.strategy_tag.StrategyTag]]

get_historical_reader(stateful)

Keep Nest’s sampled NAV observations in routine scans and backfills.

Daily NAV changes may be smaller than the common sparse threshold. Retain every successful sample taken by the reader. Stateful polling can still be daily or weekly for small or inactive vaults; it does not guarantee the migration’s hourly observation grid.

Parameters: stateful (bool) – Use the scheduled scanner’s adaptive read state.
Returns: Standard ERC-4626 reader with full sample retention.
Return type: eth_defi.vault.base.VaultHistoricalReader

fetch_total_pending_shares(block_identifier='latest')

Read the onchain aggregate of queued asynchronous redemptions.

totalPendingShares() is a NestVaultCore view that totals redemption requests awaiting fulfilment across all controllers. It is useful for observability but does not predict an individual holder’s settlement.

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) – Block at which the queue balance is read.
Returns: Number of raw share units pending redemption.
Return type: int

get_management_fee(block_identifier)

Report an unavailable management fee.

This adapter has no decoder for Nest management fees. Missing fees must remain unknown rather than being reported as zero.

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) – Included for the standard vault-reader interface.
Returns: None until a route-specific fee decoder is implemented.
Return type: Optional[float]

get_performance_fee(block_identifier)

Report an unavailable performance fee.

This adapter has no decoder for Nest performance fees. Exported gross returns therefore cannot be certified as returns after all fees.

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) – Included for the standard vault-reader interface.
Returns: None until a route-specific fee decoder is implemented.
Return type: Optional[float]

get_estimated_lock_up()

Return Nest’s CMS redemption estimate when it publishes one.

The estimate is a product-level service indication and does not replace the onchain asynchronous-redemption state or guarantee settlement time.

Returns: Estimated redemption delay, or None if Nest does not publish it.
Return type: Optional[datetime.timedelta]

get_notes()

Expose Nest’s separate yield-source and risk explanations.

Operator notes take precedence over the advisory CMS explanations.

Returns: Operator-set notes or distinct first-party strategy and risk notes.
Return type: Optional[str]

get_link(referral=None)

Return the current Arc product page for an active Arc route.

Nest’s current application only supports Arc. Other chain routes use the general catalogue rather than an Arc-specific minting page.

Parameters: referral (Optional[str]) – Unused because Nest does not document a referral URL format.
Returns: Active Arc product URL or the general Nest vault catalogue.
Return type: str

fetch_scan_record_extra_data()

Persist parsed public Nest metadata alongside scanner fields.

Declare the reviewed Nest DAO curator separately from indicative yield-source partner names.

Returns: Nest catalogue and CMS metadata for later export or audit.
Return type: dict[str, object]

__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 erc_7540: bool

Is this ERC-7540 vault with asynchronous deposits.

For example previewDeposit() function and other functions will revert

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. Current mappings expire after seven days because proxy upgrades may change relationships. These entries are not evidence of a token relationship at an arbitrary historical block.

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 or this adapter cannot safely use zero-address maxDeposit as a global availability read.
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_deposit_open()

Fetch the current protocol-defined deposit availability.

This is deliberately a tri-state value. True and False mean that the adapter read an authoritative vault-wide state; None means that the generic adapter cannot safely determine the state. It is separate from fetch_deposit_closed_reason(), because an absent human-readable reason does not prove that deposits are open.

Returns: True when deposits are open, False when they are closed, or None when the protocol does not expose a reliable global availability read.
Return type: Optional[bool]

fetch_idle_lending_snapshot(total_assets, block_identifier)

Read the idle balance once for adapters with idle-based utilisation.

This helper is opt-in: idle assets are not redeemable liquidity for every lending protocol. See the protocol’s liquidity documentation.

Morpho v1 and IPOR metadata call this after reading total assets, avoiding duplicate idle-balance reads for liquidity and utilisation. Reuse the exact raw assets only when their source block and decimal value match; converting an externally supplied Decimal back to raw units is a fallback for callers that did not first fetch assets through this adapter.

Parameters

total_assets (decimal.Decimal) – Previously fetched TVL in denomination-token units.
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]) – Numeric block used for both economic inputs.

Returns

(idle_liquidity, utilisation): a Decimal balance in denomination token units and the fraction of total assets allocated (0 to 1). Both members are None when the denomination token is unavailable; zero total assets produces zero utilisation.

Return type

tuple[decimal.Decimal | None, float | None]

fetch_info()

Use info() property for cached access.

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

fetch_minimum_deposit(block_identifier='latest')

Fetch a source-proven minimum deposit in decimal token units.

A None result means this adapter does not expose a known minimum; it does not prove the protocol accepts arbitrarily small deposits. A zero result means the adapter positively established that the vault has no minimum deposit.

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) – Block at which to read the protocol configuration.
Returns: Decimal denomination-token minimum, or None when unknown.
Return type: Optional[decimal.Decimal]

fetch_minimum_redemption(block_identifier='latest')

Fetch a source-proven redemption minimum in decimal share units.

A None result means this adapter does not expose a known minimum; it does not prove the protocol accepts arbitrarily small redemptions. A zero result means the adapter positively established that the vault has no minimum redemption.

Parameters: block_identifier (Union[Literal['latest', 'earliest', 'pending', 'safe', 'finalized'], eth_typing.evm.BlockNumber, eth_typing.evm.Hash32, eth_typing.encoding.HexStr, int]) – Block at which to read the protocol configuration.
Returns: Decimal vault-share minimum, or None when unknown.
Return type: Optional[decimal.Decimal]

fetch_nav(block_identifier=None)

Fetch the most recent onchain NAV value.

In the case of Lagoon, this is the last value written in the contract with updateNewTotalAssets() and ` settleDeposit()`
TODO: updateNewTotalAssets() there is no way to read pending asset update on chain

Returns: Vault NAV, denominated in denomination_token()
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)

Get the current share price.

Returns

The share price in underlying token.

If supply is zero return zero.

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]) –

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 live reads reuse the current relationship until its seven-day deadline. Explicit historical reads bypass this disk cache because ERC-7575 relationships may change through proxy upgrades.

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)

What is the total NAV of the vault.

Example:

assert vault.denomination_token.symbol == "USDC"
assert vault.share_token.symbol == "ipUSDCfusion"
assert vault.fetch_total_assets(block_identifier=test_block_number) == Decimal("1437072.77357")
assert vault.fetch_total_supply(block_identifier=test_block_number) == Decimal("1390401.22652875")

Parameters

Block number to read.

Use web3.eth.block_number for the last block.

Returns

The vault value in underlyinh token

Return type

Optional[decimal.Decimal]

fetch_total_supply(block_identifier)

What is the current outstanding shares.

Example:

Parameters

Block number to read.

Use web3.eth.block_number for the last block.

Returns

The vault value in underlyinh token

Return type

decimal.Decimal

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”.
Raises: NotImplementedError – For non-lending protocol vaults.
Returns: Utilisation as float between 0.0 and 1.0 (0% to 100%).
Return type: Optional[float]

fetch_vault_info()

Get all information we can extract from the vault smart contracts.

Return type: eth_defi.erc_4626.vault.ERC4626VaultInfo

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()

Get deposit manager to deposit/redeem from the vault.

Return type: ERC4626DepositManager

get_deposit_manager_capability()

Declare the exact generic ERC-4626 implementation’s two-way flow.

Subclasses need exact-type inclusion in CERTIFIED_SYNCHRONOUS_DEPOSIT_MANAGER_CLASSES. The guarded probe may separately use supports_generic_deposit_manager() as a temporary fallback without advertising it as public metadata.

Returns: Synchronous two-way capability for the exact base class, otherwise None.
Return type: Optional[eth_defi.vault.deposit_redeem.VaultDepositManagerCapability]

get_fee_data()

Get fee data structure for this vault.

Raises: ValueError – In the case of broken or unimplemented fee reading methods in the smart contract
Return type: eth_defi.vault.fee.FeeData

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

The vault metadata scan stores this result as _flags in vault-metadata-db.pickle. top_vaults_by_chain.json is generated from those stored values through scripts/erc-4626/vault-analysis-json.py / eth_defi.vault.top_vaults_json.

After editing manual flags in eth_defi.vault.flag, rerun the vault metadata scan and top-vault JSON post-processing. Regenerating the JSON from an old metadata database will not pick up new manual flags.

Returns

Flag set.

Do not modify in place.

Return type

set[eth_defi.vault.flag.VaultFlag]

get_flow_manager()

Get flow manager to read indiviaul settle events.

Only supported if has_block_range_event_support() is True

Return type: eth_defi.vault.base.VaultFlowManager

get_protocol_name()

Return the name of the vault protocol.

Return type: str

get_risk()

Get risk profile of this vault.

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

get_share_price_source()

Return the standard ERC-4626 share-price source.

ERC-4626 prices are calculated from vault accounting values read at a specific block, including protocol-specific overrides that expose the same state through another contract view.

Returns: Smart-contract state source.
Return type: eth_defi.vault.price_source.PriceSource

get_synchronous_deposit_manager_capability()

Build static metadata for a verified synchronous manager.

A caller must already have established the reader class’ guarded fork evidence. This deliberately performs no RPC reads: the capability is static library metadata, not a live vault availability check.

Returns: Synchronous two-way capability.
Return type: eth_defi.vault.deposit_redeem.VaultDepositManagerCapability

get_whitelist_notes()

Return an export caveat for the vault-wide whitelist status.

Adapters may attach a concise, stable explanation when a classification is an explicitly requested operating assumption or excludes an integration-specific permission mechanism. The note describes the policy classification only; it must not be used to report temporary deposit availability.

Returns: Export note, or None when the classification needs no caveat.
Return type: Optional[str]

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

get_withdrawal_period()

Return binding withdrawal timing and optional settlement estimates.

Unlike get_estimated_lock_up(), this reports the redemption lifecycle after a user submits a valid withdrawal request. Adapters use min_period and max_period only for a binding smart-contract timing rule. An adapter may instead return a non-binding estimated_settlement for backtesting an offchain operating cadence or redemption wait; that estimate never establishes claimability and does not require a synthetic timing bound.

Returns: Withdrawal period details, or None when unavailable.
Return type: Optional[eth_defi.vault.base.WithdrawalPeriod]

has_block_range_event_support()

Does this vault support block range-based event queries for deposits and redemptions.

If not we use chain balance polling-based approach

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

has_deposit_distribution_to_all_positions()

Deposits go automatically to all open positions.

Deposits do not land into the vault as cash
Instead, smart contracts automatically increase all open positions

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

is_account_whitelisted(address)

Determine whether an account has completed the vault’s KYC policy.

The result concerns KYC, manual identity approval, or recipient allowlist membership only. A protocol may still require scheduling, a token balance, an allowance, available capacity, or an open epoch before a deposit can be submitted. Callers must use the relevant deposit manager pre-flight before broadcasting a transaction.

Parameters: address (eth_typing.evm.HexAddress) – Account whose deposit-policy membership is queried.
Returns: True when the account has the required pre-approval.
Raises: NotImplementedError – If the adapter cannot safely query account membership.
Return type: bool

is_valid()

Check if this vault is valid.

Call a known smart contract function to verify the function exists

Return type: bool

is_whitelisted_deposit()

Determine whether deposits require pre-approved recipient accounts.

Protocol adapters override this predicate only when the deployed contract version has verified implementation source or a canonical application ABI that proves a reliable vault-wide policy read. An explicitly documented operating assumption may also override it, but must set whitelist_notes so consumers can distinguish it from a source-proven result. True means the vault requires KYC, manual identity approval, or a source-proven recipient allowlist; False means its policy is permissionless. An open date, lock-up, epoch, pause, cap, token balance, or other runtime eligibility condition must not affect the result. A source-proven override requires a fixed-block adapter test for every supported implementation generation. An operating assumption requires a unit test that asserts both its classification and its caveat. This is independent of a caller’s current balance, allowance, pause state, capacity, and request lifecycle.

Returns: True when deposits require account pre-approval and False when they do not.
Raises: NotImplementedError – If the adapter cannot safely determine the policy.
Return type: bool

property share_token: eth_defi.token.TokenDetails

ERC-20 that presents vault shares.

User gets shares on deposit and burns them on redemption

supports_generic_deposit_manager()

Check whether the live vault exposes the standard ERC-4626 surface.

This is deliberately an interface check, not a public support claim. Callers must still execute a guarded fork probe before relying on the generic manager for a protocol-specific adapter.

Returns: True when asset succeeds with a non-zero asset address. Deposit and redemption availability is established only by a guarded fork transaction, not by ERC-4626 max* advisory values.
Return type: bool

property symbol: str: Vault share token symbol

property underlying_token: eth_defi.token.TokenDetails: Alias for denomination_token()

property vault_contract: web3.contract.contract.Contract: Get vault deployment.
