tl;dr
- L1 pre-deposit phase: aggregate assets in L1 vaults → yield to L1 multisig
- objective: $50M pre-deposits - $100M would be ideal
- L2 mainnet phase: assets + yield bridged to L2 → distributed via revenue split
- Non-core token fees: batched + auctioned → proceeds in uUSD or ETH (tbc)
- objective: $150M TVL by end of 2026
- L2 net global yield: paid in ETH + uUSD only
- calculation: [ 100% - L2 commission ] x [ (yield-bearing TVL x blended L1 yield) + native apps fees ]
- objective: 2-3% APY on yield-bearing TVL

Phase 1 - L1 pre-deposit
TVL pre-deposit vaults (L1 yield aggregation)
End of October 2025
In the bootstrapping phase, user deposits are gathered into three distinct L1 vaults:
- ETH Vault
- Accepts:
ETH
, stETH
, wstETH
- Strategy: Fully deployed into Lido, earning staking yield
- Stables Vault
- Accepts:
USDC
, USDT
, USDS
, DAI
- Strategy: Each stablecoin managed in its own ERC-4626 vault for more flexibility and higher capital efficiency with deployment into Morpho or Sky, depending on APY and asset risk profile
- SNT Vault
- Accepts:
SNT
- Strategy: Held passively (no redeposit), acts as staking source
All vaults open at the same time. All yield is accumulated in a Status-controlled L1 multisig, ready to be bridged and allocated at L2 mainnet launch.
Phase 2 - L2 mainnet
L2 bridge and revenue distribution
Q1 2026
Asset bridging
Once mainnet is live, vault holdings are automatically bridged to the L2 with the following logic:
- ETH → ETH on L2 (liquid bridged ETH)
- **Stables → uUSD** (Unified USD by Aragon) for simplified multi-stable representation accruing L1 yield
- SNT → Staked SNT (bridged and auto-staked, but not locked)
