Glossary
Plain-language names used in public docs, with internal or onchain identifiers where they differ. For launch steps, see Launch checklist.
Quick definitions
New vault launch (internal: greenfield)
A brand-new vault deployed on the current release (v1.14.1 today) — not a patch or migration of an older vault (e.g. AKITA). Engineers say “greenfield” to mean “fresh deploy on the latest contracts and batcher,” as opposed to legacy vaults still tied to retired infrastructure.
Solana share bridge at finalize (internal: Pipe A, solana_ovault_mesh)
During activation, when you finalize Phase 2, about 30% of tradable ■ shares are automatically bridged to Solana (LayerZero). You do not buy or enable this separately — it is part of the standard new-vault path included in the launch bundle. “Pipe A” is an internal label for this finalize-time bridge (replacing an older, retired Solana routing model). Base trading and the fair-launch auction do not wait for Solana; the bridge runs in the same activation session.
Legacy vault
Deployed on an older batcher or release. May behave differently from a new vault launch; do not assume AKITA-era addresses or flows apply to new launches.
Public names vs internal names
| Public name (docs & app) | Internal / onchain | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Launch bundle ($499 USDC) | vault_full_deploy | Unlocks deploy; includes Charm + Ajna + Solana mesh + Meteora |
| New vault launch | Greenfield | New deploy on current release (v1.14.1), not legacy vaults |
| Solana bridge at finalize (~30% of ■) | Pipe A, solana_ovault_mesh | Automatic LayerZero bridge in Phase 2 finalize — not a separate purchase |
| Fair-launch auction | CCA | Uniswap V4 price discovery at activation |
| Auction schedule | Thursday 00:00 UTC epoch | CCA bids open on the next weekly epoch after launchDeferredAuction |
| Share allocation at finalize | 30/30/30/10 split | 30% CCA · 30% vesting · 30% Solana bridge · 10% LP reserve |
| Base (primary chain) | Hub chain | Deploy, auction, trading, and lottery for new vaults |
| Tradable share | ShareOFT, ■TICKER | DEX-facing token; not the Zora creator coin |
| Vault share | ERC-4626 share, ▢TICKER | Internal vault accounting token |
| Launch fee / bundle payment | Strategy bundle activation | Paid at Pay launch fee |
Tokens
Creator coin — The Zora ERC-20 deposited into the vault; the vault deposit asset. Distinct contract address from share tokens.
Vault share (▢TICKER) — ERC-4626 share from CreatorOVault; pro-rata claim on vault TVL.
Tradable share (■TICKER) — LayerZero ShareOFT from CreatorShareOFT; primary DEX-facing asset.
Wrapper — CreatorOVaultWrapper; converts ▢ → ■ at 1:1.
Launch milestones
| Milestone | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Deployed | Contracts onchain; vault not yet funded |
| Activated | Creator coin deposited; fair-launch auction in progress |
| Trading live | Auction complete and finalize done; ■ shares tradable on Base DEXs |
Share allocation at finalize
When the batcher finalizes activation, wrapped ■ supply from the deposit is split 30/30/30/10:
| Leg | Share of ■ | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| Fair-launch auction | 30% | CCA price discovery (launched with 10% LP reserve on strategy) |
| Creator vesting | 30% | CreatorLinearVesting (365-day linear unlock) |
| Solana bridge | 30% | LayerZero OFT bridge (part of finalize) |
| LP reserve | 10% | Held on CCA strategy for post-auction v4 migration |
Onchain constants: AUCTION_PERCENT, VESTING_PERCENT, SOLANA_ALLOC_PERCENT, LP_RESERVE_PERCENT on DeploymentBatcher. See CCA launch strategy for auction graduation, migration, and failed-auction paths.
Fee lanes
Use qualified names — bare payoutRecipient is ambiguous.
tradeFeeCollector — ShareOFT/hook trade-fee destination (often the gauge).
creatorCoinPayoutRecipient — Creator coin external earnings (Zora payoutRecipient); in router mode feeds holder PPS accretion.
creatorTreasury — Optional creator ongoing slice from gauge split (creatorShareBps; default 0).
Jackpot custodian — Gauge reserve (jackpotReserve); holds funds, does not pick winners.
Jackpot payout authority — CreatorLotteryManager; selects winners and pays jackpots.
Voter / protocol branch — protocolShareBps from gauge split.
Cross-chain & lottery
LayerZero (LZ) — Messaging for ShareOFT bridging.
OFT — Omnichain fungible token standard (ShareOFT).
VRF — Chainlink verifiable randomness for lottery draws.
AMOE — Alternative method of entry (no purchase required; attested offchain).
Integrators
Impairment epoch — Side-pocket when a strategy is impaired; see impairment disclosures.
Legacy vault — Deployed on an older batcher/version (e.g. AKITA); may differ from v1.14.1 new-vault path.
