Autovote Vaults

Autovote Vaults automate veORVX governance participation and are the only way to receive rebase protection. There are two vault types, each designed for a different participant profile.

Liquid Reward Vault

The Liquid Reward Vault is for participants who want active veORVX exposure with liquid flexibility.

  • Deposits: veORVX (or ORVX, which the vault locks on your behalf)
  • Voting: The vault votes on gauges automatically each epoch
  • Rewards: Trading fees and bribes earned through voting are distributed to depositors
  • Receipt token: Depositors receive a liquid receipt token representing their vault share, enabling DeFi composability (use as collateral, trade on secondary markets, etc.)
  • Rebase eligibility: Vault shares receive a partial share of vault-eligible rebase support during the bootstrap period -- vault-only, not available to solo veORVX holders
  • Performance fees: A portion of earned rewards is remitted as a performance fee to the Strategic Reserve

Compounding Vault

The Compounding Vault is for passive, long-term participants who prefer hands-off growth.

  • Mechanism: Functions like the Liquid Reward Vault, but automatically compounds all earned rewards back into the vault position
  • Flex early-exit inflows: Receives 25% of all Flex account early-exit penalties, which are redirected into the Compounding Vault
  • Rebase eligibility: Receives the full treatment of its vault-eligible rebase share -- vault-only, not available to solo veORVX holders
  • Performance fees: A portion of earned rewards is remitted as a performance fee to the Strategic Reserve
  • Designed for: Participants who want maximum long-term accumulation without active management

Why vaults matter

Rebase protection is vault-only. Solo veORVX holders do not receive anti-dilution rebases. Participating in a vault is the only way to protect your governance position from dilution as new oORVX emissions enter the system.

Beyond rebases, the vaults provide:

  • Simplified governance -- no need to manually vote each epoch
  • DeFi composability -- liquid receipt tokens can be used across the Status ecosystem
  • Passive accumulation -- the Compounding Vault handles reinvestment automatically

After rebases decay to zero (approximately one year post-launch), vault competitiveness rests on recurring activity-linked flows: swap fee revenue from voted gauges, Strategic Reserve yield, omni gauge lending yield, and compounding dynamics within the Compounding Vault.
