Vault Creation

Morpho Vaults curator is supposed to be a knowledgeable DeFi user, as monitoring liquidity on Morpho requires skills, and has some risks. Refer to the risk section.

Morpho Vaults can be created directly via etherscan or using scripts.

Fill attributes​

One will have to fill the following attributes:

  • initialOwner: The initial owner of the vault.
    This address will have the authority to manage the vault's settings and parameters after creation.

  • initialTimelock: The initial duration, in seconds, during which any critical operations (e.g., changing the curator or guardian roles, updating market parameters) are delayed for security reasons. Starting from v1.1, the initial timelock can be set to 0 during vault creation to facilitate the initial configuration. After setup, the timelock must be set within bounds (minimum = 1 day = 86,400 seconds and maximum = 2 weeks = 1,209,600 seconds).

    Timelock value:

    It can be convenient to set the timelock to 0 during the initial configuration phase to complete it faster. Once configuration is complete, any owner can increase the timelock value to the required minimum of 86,400 seconds (1 day) or higher.

  • asset: The address of the underlying asset (ERC20 token) for which the vault is being created. The vault will manage deposits and withdrawals of this asset.

  • name: The human-readable name of the vault.
    It is used primarily for display and identification purposes.

  • symbol: The abbreviation or ticker symbol of the vault.
    This symbol is a shorter way to represent the vault, typically used in interfaces and listings.

  • salt: A unique value used in conjunction with the vault's other parameters to deterministically generate its address through the CREATE2 opcode. This ensures the uniqueness of the vault's address even if other parameters are identical.
