Activate a vault

This guide covers activating a newly deployed creator vault, including wrapper configuration, ShareOFT deployment, and strategy setup.

Prerequisite: You have already deployed a vault.

Activation overview​

Vault active

Step 1: Configure wrapper​

The wrapper converts between ▢TOKEN (vault shares) and ■TOKEN (tradeable OFT).

Initialize wrapper​

wrapper.initialize(
    vault,          // CreatorOVault address
    "Wrapped AKITA",// ■TOKEN name
    "wAKITA"        // ■TOKEN symbol
);

Set vault approval​

// Approve wrapper to transfer vault shares
vault.approve(address(wrapper), type(uint256).max);

Verify configuration​

// Check wrapper is properly configured
require(wrapper.vault() == vault);
require(wrapper.shareOFT() == address(0)); // Set after ShareOFT deploy

Step 2: Deploy ShareOFT​

The ShareOFT is the cross-chain tradeable token.

Deploy with CREATE2​

bytes32 salt = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(creatorCoin, deployer));

CreatorShareOFT shareOFT = new CreatorShareOFT{salt: salt}(
    "AKITA Share Token", // Name
    "sAKITA",            // Symbol (■AKITA)
    lzEndpoint,          // LayerZero endpoint
    wrapper              // Wrapper address
);

Configure ShareOFT​

// Set address classifications
shareOFT.setAddressType(uniswapRouter, OperationType.SwapOnly);
shareOFT.setAddressType(uniswapPool, OperationType.SwapOnly);
shareOFT.setAddressType(vault, OperationType.NoFees);
shareOFT.setAddressType(gaugeController, OperationType.NoFees);
wrapper.setShareOFT(address(shareOFT));

Step 3: Set GaugeController​

The GaugeController routes trading fees.

Deploy GaugeController​

CreatorGaugeController gaugeController = new CreatorGaugeController(
    vault,
    shareOFT,
    wrapper
);

Configure recipients​

// Set lottery manager (69%)
gaugeController.setLotteryManager(lotteryManager);

// Set voter rewards (9.61%)
gaugeController.setVoterRewardsDistributor(voterRewards);

// Remaining 21.39% is burned automatically
shareOFT.setGaugeController(address(gaugeController));

Step 4: Add strategies​

Strategies deploy vault capital for yield.

Add CCA strategy​

// For ■TOKEN fair launch
CCALaunchStrategy ccaStrategy = new CCALaunchStrategy(
    shareOFT,
    ccaFactory,
    weth
);

vault.addStrategy(address(ccaStrategy), 6900); // 69% allocation

Add Charm strategy​

// For TOKEN LP yield
CreatorCharmStrategy charmStrategy = new CreatorCharmStrategy(
    vault,
    charmVault,
    creatorCoin
);

vault.addStrategy(address(charmStrategy), 2139); // 21.39% allocation

Set idle buffer​

// Keep 10% idle for withdrawals
vault.setMinimumTotalIdle(vault.totalAssets() / 10);

One-click activation​

Use VaultActivationBatcher for streamlined activation:

VaultActivationBatcher batcher = VaultActivationBatcher(BATCHER_ADDRESS);

batcher.activateVault(
    vault,
    creatorCoin,
    "Wrapped AKITA",
    "wAKITA",
    lzEndpoint,
    [ccaStrategy, charmStrategy],
    [6900, 2139]
);

This deploys and configures all components in a single transaction.

Verification checklist​

Wrapper​

  • Wrapper initialized with correct vault
  • Wrapper linked to ShareOFT
  • Vault approved wrapper for max shares

ShareOFT​

  • ShareOFT deployed with correct name/symbol
  • Address types configured for pools/routers
  • GaugeController linked

GaugeController​

  • Lottery manager set (or address(0) for day-1)
  • Voter rewards set (or address(0) for day-1)
  • Fee split configured

Strategies​

  • Strategies added with correct weights
  • Total weights equal 10000 bps
  • Idle buffer set appropriately

Common issues​

Wrapper not linked​

Error: ShareOFT not set
Solution: Call wrapper.setShareOFT(shareOFT)

Address type not set​

Error: Buy fees not being collected
Solution: Ensure DEX pools/routers are SwapOnly type

Strategy weight overflow​

Error: Weights exceed MAX_BPS
Solution: Ensure total strategy weights ≤ 10000

Next steps​

After activation:

  1. Launch token via CCA
  2. Set up automation
  3. Configure multisig
