What is Vector Reserve?
The core objective of Vector Reserve is to harness optimized liquid staking and liquid restaking yields to introduce a diversified, risk adjusted reserve currency built on ETH, offering market leading yield. It does this by harnessing ETH, and associated Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) and Liquid Restaked Tokens (LRT) to create a diversified treasury of Liquidity Position Derivatives (LPD) in traditional ETH/LST or ETH/LRT LPs, which can earn a further yield boost via EigenLayer’s Superfluid Staking. vETH is able to accrue both protocol airdrop points from partner LRT and LSTs, and EigenLayer points from underlying LRTs. The end result is a diversified, fully collateralized basket of optimized ETH yields in the form of Vector ETH (vETH); providing both a best-in-class yield experience for users, but also driving significant value to the VEC reserve currency.
The VEC token acts as the cornerstone of Vector Reserve, and is designed to consistently accrue value via mechanisms designed to enable a robust and theoretically increasing backing and price floor. This is achieved through a strategic reserve of diversified assets, accumulated from bond sales, transaction taxes, and a portion of the yields generated via vETH.
