Economic Audits
VaultFi is the only DeFi protocol that has been peer-reviewed by some of the most accomplished names in the finance and consulting world.
The audit process took place as follows:
- The Expert was hired, and given access to the project overview and to the VaultFi's economic model.
- The Expert was given time to review the model, and answer 5 questions.
- After reviewing the VaultFi model and confirming the 5 questions, each Expert dated and signed the audit document via DocuSign.
The 5 questions are the following:
- 1. Long-term VisionVaultFi's long-term vision of establishing a yield-bearing protocol powered by revenue-generating businesses is feasible and sustainable.
- 2. Bonus Reward MechanismsVaultFi's bonus reward mechanisms are strategically designed to increase user adoption and reward long-term stakers.
- 3. Comparative APY (Annual Percentage Yield) AnalysisVaultFi provides a higher APY than the average S&P 500 returns (~10%) for the first year, even without any form of revenue injection into the treasury.
- 4. Savings Interest ComparisonVaultFi provides a higher APY (Annual Percentage Yield) than the average bank account savings interest rate without any form of revenue injection into the treasury for the first 4 (four) years.
- 5. Sustainable MethodologyVaultFi uses a sustainable methodology for its APY (Annual Percentage Yield) calculation to ensure that the promised bonus rewards (long-term staking and referral rewards) can be fulfilled by excluding those tokens from the staking rewards APY calculation.
Note: the majority of experts hired are still active professionals within their own firms. For this reason, they have asked to keep their full contact details private. VaultFi has full access and contact details for each expert hired.
