The Problem

The $40B Problem: Wasteful DATs and SPACs

Public stock buyers spent more than $20B on DATs and $20B on SPACs in 2025. Much of this capital was wasted due to high offer costs, high management fees, and lack of transparency.

Technology

A New DeFi Primitive: Semi-Redeemable Vaults

A new mechanism builds on the rapid growth of yield vaults. It supports new tuypes of offers that fit between a redeemable yield vault and a closed ICO.

Depositors retain an option to redeem at the original deposit value

Redemption rights can expire over time, causing assets to "vest". Vested assets are locked for long-term investment, building value beyond simple yield.

Vault operators can turn on redemption and easily return generated value to depositors.

Use Cases

Three powerful applications

Semi-redeemable vaults unlock new economics for DATs, ICOs, and SPACs.

Easy DAT

A breakthrough in DAT economics giving buyers a chance to start at zero NAV premium with redemption options.

WHO IT'S FOR

Issuers and managers of large cap assets with upside

HOW IT WORKS

Depositors get vault shares that increase with yield and can trade up to NAV premium. Redeemable at original deposit value unless sold or vested

VALUE ADDED

Vested assets enable collateral for financing and long-term placements for better returns. Can eliminate NAV discounts by enabling redeemability

COMPARE TO

$20B in new DAT IPOs in 2025

Flying ICO

Adds startup value, while protecting a redemption option.

WHO IT'S FOR

Startups with significant channel and early stage product

HOW IT WORKS

Depositors buy vault token that's also a startup token/share. They lose redeemability if they sell or hold through vesting dates

VALUE ADDED

Vested assets invested in startup growth. Token can trade as large-cap vault before adding significant project value, adding liquidity premium

COMPARE TO

$120B in convertible debt issuance in 2025

SPAV

Dramatically improves SPAC economics by reducing offer costs and improving deal closing reliability.

WHO IT'S FOR

SPV and SPAC sponsors wanting to deliver economic value to investors

HOW IT WORKS

IPO buyers get redemption rights. Lose redeemability if they sell or vest. At deal finalization, option to redeem with yield or convert to new deal

VALUE ADDED

Vested assets and custom warrants increase predictability of cash delivery. Bonus warrants for IPO buyers who hold through closing

COMPARE TO

$25B in SPAC issuance in 2025
