Glossary
Public names used across docs and the app, with internal or onchain identifiers where they differ. Launch steps: Launch a vault · Launch checklist.
Quick definitions
New vault launch (greenfield)
A brand-new vault on the current release (v1.20.0 greenfield) — not a patch or migration of an older vault (e.g. AKITA).
Solana share bridge at finalize (Pipe A, solana_ovault_mesh)
At Phase 2 finalize, 25% of wrapped ■ bridges to Solana via LayerZero automatically. Included in the launch bundle; Base trading and the fair-launch auction do not wait on it.
Legacy vault
Deployed on an older batcher or release. 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 (v1.20.0 greenfield), not legacy vaults |
| Solana bridge at finalize (25% 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 | Launch inventory | 25% vesting · 25% Solana · 50% EVM CCA by chain (each leg 75% auction / 25% LP) |
| 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 — Zora ERC-20 deposited into the vault (deposit asset). Distinct 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; locks 1000 ▢ per 1 ■ (NORMALIZATION_FACTOR = 1000). User deposit() presents ~1 creator coin → ~1 ■.
ve■4626 — Decaying power from locking protocol ■4626 ShareOFT — not from holding a creator’s ■TICKER. See ve■4626.
ve33 — Utility from ve■4626 for gauge voting, fees, and bribes.
veLottery — Opt-in utility from ve■4626 for the personal lottery multiplier. Works with creator-share coverage; does not replace it.
Token units
| Step | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Creator coin → ▢ | ~1:1000 at bootstrap | Vault _decimalsOffset() = 3 (virtual shares). After PPS drifts, follows live PPS. |
| ▢ → ■ | 1000:1 | Wrapper wrap ÷1000; unwrap ×1000. Never 1:1 in raw units. |
| Creator coin → ■ | ~1:1 UX | Offsets cancel in wrapper.deposit() / withdraw(). Never means ▢ ↔ ■ is 1:1. |
Gauge trade-fee split (immutable BPS; split in ShareOFT ■ first):
| Slice | Unit | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| 69% | ShareOFT ■ | jackpotReserve (gauge custodian) |
| 21.39% | ShareOFT ■ | Voter/protocol branch |
| 9.61% | Unwrap → ▢ burned | PPS ↑ for holders |
| 0% (default) | ShareOFT ■ | creatorTreasury when enabled |
Lottery payout — Winners receive ShareOFT ■ from the triggering vault’s gauge reserve (default single-vault mode). Gauge custodies; LotteryManager4626 calculates win chance and pays.
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:
| Bucket | Share | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| Creator vesting | 25% | LinearVesting4626 (365-day linear unlock) |
| Solana bridge | 25% | Auto-bridged to Solana share mesh |
| Base CCA auction | 18.75% | Base CCALaunchArm fair-launch |
| Base CCA LP reserve | 6.25% | Base strategy post-auction seedLpManager |
| Spoke EVM CCA inventory | 25% | Custodied for async RH/Arb/Eth/Uni fanout (each spoke leg 75% auction / 25% LP) |
Onchain constants: VESTING_BPS, SOLANA_BPS, BASE_AUCTION_BPS, BASE_LP_RESERVE_BPS, SPOKE_INVENTORY_BPS 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 — LotteryManager4626; 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 the v1.20.0 new-vault path.
