# Trade Float Vault #### What It Is The Trade Float Vault is a permissioned, on-chain treasury vault that deploys stablecoin capital into short-duration, trade-linked exposures. It is designed to convert stablecoin liquidity into productive trade finance activity while preserving: * transparent on-chain accounting * institutional-grade controls * explicit liquidity discipline * defined risk parameters and oversight The Trade Float Vault is built as treasury infrastructure rather than a yield product. Yield is a secondary outcome of deploying trade-linked float, not the primary objective. #### What It Is Designed For The Trade Float Vault is designed for users who hold stablecoins as part of real economic workflows and want those balances to remain productive while idle. Typical use cases include: * Funds holding stablecoins between deployments and seeking conservative, rules-based returns * Exporters, importers, and traders managing working capital and settlement balances * Platforms and aggregators holding settlement float or prefunding payment activity The vault is intended for users who value controls, transparency, and reliability over speculative yield optimisation. #### What Backs Returns Returns in the Trade Float Vault are generated from real trade finance and settlement economics. Capital is deployed into economic activity linked to trade execution, including: * Short-duration trade receivables * Pre-financing of verified trade flows * Inventory-linked financing structures * Settlement and payments float associated with trade execution All exposures are intended to be: * short-dated * underwritten using verified trade data * subject to predefined eligibility criteria and concentration limits The vault does not rely on token emissions, synthetic reward programs, or incentive-driven mechanics. #### Types of Trade Exposures The vault’s deployment universe focuses on trade-linked exposures where cashflows are observable and duration is controlled. Exposure types may include: * Receivables financing tied to completed or in-progress deliveries * Pre-financing against verified orders and documented trade flows * Inventory-linked structures where financing is supported by verifiable goods movement and contracts * Settlement-linked float where returns arise from the economics of payment timing and execution Each exposure type is governed by eligibility rules, risk parameters, and portfolio limits defined at the vault level. #### High-Level Return Profile The Trade Float Vault targets a stable return profile consistent with trade finance economics. * **Expected APY: 9 to 12 percent** (target range) * Returns are intended to be driven by underwritten trade-linked cashflows, rather than market beta or token-based incentives Yield is designed to accrue through the vault’s underlying performance rather than through rebasing tokens or emissions.
