Copy Vaults: Strategy-Backed Asset Pools [Protocol Owned/DAO Governed]

Copy Vaults allow users to passively deposit into the performance of top bots, with automated PnL routing, strategy visibility, and structured yield.

CopyVaults allow users to mirror the strategy of a high-performing bot - replicating its configuration, timing, and trade structure using individual capital. These are not pooled smart contract vaults, but config-level copy systems managed by off-chain strategy sync.

Users retain custody of their capital. Execution is delegated, not pooled.

Vault Design:

• Single Strategy, Multi Depositor: Vault executes one logic tree (e.g., GridBot or DCA+), shared across all capital

• Performance Metrics On-Chain: Sharpe ratio, win rate, drawdown, APY - all auditable and verifiable

• Protocol Incentives: 5% performance fee, paid in vault asset [delta neutral base asset: USDC]

• Permissionless Ranking: Vaults are ranked by current TVL, recent PnL and consistency (average rolling ROI%)

Features:

• Instant deposit and withdrawal (within epoch structure (if defined) → proportional based on share)

• Vault whitelisting/checkmark for verified strategists (Phase 1)

• Community-voted highlighting for high-performing strategies [governance layer]

• Supports modular vault types (GridBot, Arbitrage, DCA hybrids) → v2 rollout

Yield Structure:

• 5% default performance fee (adjustable)

• Protocol cut (5%) from performance of positive PNL

• Execution fees baked into strategy cost basis → 0.07% of position size

Copy Vaults are LiquidBots’ answer to underperforming farming protocols: yield from actual PnL, not inflation.
