Vaults

Overview

Aborean Vaults are automated strategy systems that optimize veABX participation, emissions, and yield generation across the Aborean ecosystem.

They allow users to passively participate in governance and yield farming while simultaneously strengthening the ABX token’s liquidity, stability, and demand. Vaults achieve this by:

• Compounding fees and emissions into ABX and veABX.

• Routing veABX votes toward the most profitable liquidity pools.

• Automatically converting protocol earnings into ABX buybacks.

Every vault action, from voting to harvesting, reinforces the same outcome: ABX is bought, locked, or distributed back to participants.

Core Concepts

Vaults represent automated veABX strategies designed to:

• Simplify user experience, no active management required.

• Maximize yield through automatic compounding and optimal vote allocation.

• Create continuous ABX buy pressure and deepen DEX liquidity.

• Strengthen the protocol’s governance base through long-term veABX accumulation.

Vaults are fully on-chain, transparent and built to serve both individual depositors and the Aborean protocol itself.

Vault Types

Aborean offers two primary vaults, each focused on a different aspect of yield optimization and protocol reinforcement.

veABX Maxi Vault

Purpose: Automatically compound ABX into veABX and grow governance power over time.

How it works:

• Users deposit ABX or veABX into the vault.

• The vault locks ABX into veABX for the maximum duration, automatically extending the lock each epoch.

• It collects trading fees, emissions, and bribes from across the DEX.

• All non-ABX rewards are converted into ABX and re-locked to compound the veABX position.

Outcome:

• Depositors passively grow their veABX position.

• Protocol governance power expands.

• Continuous demand for ABX is created through automatic buybacks.

Benefits:

• No active management, compounding is fully automated.

• Growing yield share and governance weight.

• Acts as a protocol flywheel for long-term ABX strength.

• 
  

ABX Rewards Vault

Purpose: Automate voting, harvesting, and conversion of ecosystem rewards into ABX.

How it works:

• Users deposit veABX.

• The vault automatically votes veABX toward the highest-yield gauges (based on expected APR, trading fees, and bribes).

• Rewards and fees from these pools are harvested regularly.

• All rewards are converted into ABX and distributed to depositors weekly.

Outcome:

• Passive ABX rewards without active voting or harvesting.

• veABX votes are consistently optimized toward productive pools.

• Protocol emissions are directed to strengthen liquidity and depth.

Benefits:

• Set-and-forget ABX yield farming.

• Continuous buy pressure on ABX.

• Dynamic emissions routing toward the best-performing pairs.

How it works (Lifecycle)

Deposit

• Users deposit veABX into a chosen vault and receive vault shares representing their position.

Lock & Vote

• veABX Maxi locks ABX for the maximum duration, automatically extending it.

• ABX Rewards uses its veABX to vote for the most lucrative gauges.

Harvest

• Vaults automatically collect emissions, trading fees, and bribes from gauges and fee distributors.

Conversion

• All collected assets are swapped into ABX using on-chain routing.

• Slippage and price impact are minimized using TWAP oracles.

Distribution

• veABX Maxi: Uses ABX to increase the locked amount.

• ABX Rewards: Sends ABX directly to vault depositors (claimable weekly).

Repetition

• Each epoch, the cycle repeats, compounding and reinforcing ABX growth.

Vault Mechanics

Deposit and withdraw

• Deposit: Users deposit ABX or veABX to mint vault shares.

• Withdraw: Users burn shares to receive ABX or claimable rewards.

• Share value: Increases over time as vaults compound or distribute new ABX.

Harvesting

• Performed periodically by on-chain keepers.

• Automatically claims emissions, fees, and bribes from gauges.

• Converts all collected tokens into ABX via the Router.

Compounding

• veABX Maxi: Reinvests harvested ABX into the veABX lock.

• ABX Rewards: Retains ABX for users to claim weekly or auto-compound.

Voting logic

• The ABX Rewards vault uses on-chain data (APR, fees, bribes) to vote for the most profitable gauges.

• Votes are adjusted each epoch to maintain optimal yields.

• Ensures emissions are directed to pools that maximize protocol revenue and liquidity.

Protocol-level impact

Aborean Vaults transform ecosystem activity into ABX demand, liquidity, and governance power, the foundation of Aborean’s long-term sustainability.
