Redemption architecture

Different yield products have different liquidity profiles.

VaaS supports both liquid redemption and epoch-based redemption.

---

Liquid redemption

Liquid redemption is suitable when the vault can meet withdrawals quickly from idle liquidity or highly liquid positions.

The vault checks share balance, current share price, available liquidity, fees, and product state. If conditions are satisfied, the user burns shares or submits a redemption action and receives the settlement asset.

---

Epoch-based redemption

Epoch-based redemption is suitable for less liquid strategies, private credit, structured yield, or products where positions must be unwound on a schedule.

    A["Request Accumulation"] --> B["Epoch Closure + Price Lock"]
    B --> C["Liquidity Calculation"]
    C --> D["Liquidity Verification"]
    D --> E["Claim Execution"]

The epoch-based mechanism has five stages.

1

Request accumulation

LPs submit withdrawal requests during an open epoch or cooldown window.

The vault records each request and prevents the requested shares from being reused as if they were still freely deployable capital.

2

Epoch closure and price lock

At the end of the cooldown window, the epoch closes to new entries.

The redemption price is locked using the authoritative NAV at the exact closure time. This protects both exiting and remaining LPs from later price manipulation or retroactive valuation changes.

3

Liquidity calculation

The vault calculates the total settlement asset required to satisfy the closed epoch.

If the vault must unwind positions, the Strategy Manager or allocation process returns the required capital to the base vault according to the redemption schedule.

4

Liquidity verification

The epoch is marked fulfilled only after the vault verifies that sufficient idle settlement assets are present.

If insufficient liquidity is available, the claim remains pending until settlement assets arrive. This prevents claims from being processed against unavailable funds.

5

Claim execution

Once liquidity is verified, LPs can claim their settlement assets.

The claim process should emit events that integrators can index and display in the user interface.
