This protocols goal is to make vault creation easy, safe and all without compromising on flexibility. It allows anyone to spin up their own Yearn in minutes.
Vaults can be created permissionlessly based on any underlying protocol and execute arbitrary strategies. The factory uses only endorsed Adapters and Strategies with minimal user input to reduce complexity for a creator and ensure safety of the created clones. It gives vault creators a quick and easy way to spin up any Vault they need and end users the guarantee that the created Vault will be safe. For some more context checkout the whitepaper
The protocol consists of 2 parts. The Vault Factory and the actual Vaults and Adapters.
The Vault Factory part consists of a mix of Registry and Execution contracts. All contracts are immutable but execution contracts can be swapped out if requirements change or additional functionality should be added.
- CloneFactory: A simple factory that clones and initializes new contracts based on a Template.
- CloneRegistry: A minimal registry which saves the address of each newly created clone.
- TemplateRegistry: A registry for Templates. Each Template contains an implementation and some metadata to ensure proper initialization of the clone. Templates need to be endorsed before they can be used to create new clones. Anyone can add a new Template but only the contract owner can endorse them if they are deemed correct and safe.
- DeploymentController: This contract bundles CloneFactory, CloneRegistry and TemplateRegistry to simplify the creation of new clones and ensure their safety.
- PermissionRegistry: A simple registry to endorse or reject certain addresses from beeing used. Currently this is only used to reject potentially unsafe assets and in the creation of beefy adapters.
- VaulRegistry: This registry safes new Vaults with additional metadata. The metadata can be used by any frontend and supply it with additional informations about the vault.
- VaultController: This contract bundles all previously mentioned contracts. It adds additional ux and safety measures to the creation of Vaults, Adapters and Staking contracts. Any management function in the protocol must be executed via the VaultController.
- AdminProxy: This contract owns any clone and most infrastructure contracts. Its used to make ownership transfers easy in case the VaultController should get updated. This contracts forwards almost all calls from the VaultController.
Note: This system ensures that minimal user input is needed and executions are handled with valid inputs and in the correct order. The goal is to minimize human error and the attack surface. A lot of configurations for Adapters and Strategies is very protocol specific. These are therefore mainly handled in the implementations itself. Adapters should receive all there critical data from an on-chain registry of the underlying protocol. As its nearly impossible to tell otherwise if the passed in configuration is malicious. There is still a need for some kind of governance to ensure that only correct and safe Templates are added and dangerous assets get rejected.
- Vault: A simple ERC-4626 implementation which allows the creator to add various types of fees and interact with other protocols via any ERC-4626 compliant Adapter. Fees and Adapter can be changed by the creator after a ragequit period.
- Adapter: An immutable wrapper for existing contract to allow for ERC-4626 compatability. Optionally adapters can utilize a Strategy to perform various additional tasks besides simply depositing and withdrawing token from the wrapped protocol. PopcornDAO will collect management fees via these Adapter.
- Strategy: An arbitrary module to perform various tasks from compouding, leverage or simply forwarding rewards. Strategies can be attached to an Adapter to give it additionaly utility.
Additionally we included 2 utility contracts that are used alongside the vault system.
- MultiRewardStaking: A simple ERC-4626 implementation of a staking contract. A user can provide an asset and receive rewards in multiple tokens. Adding these rewards is done by the contract owner. They can be either paid out over time or instantly. Rewards can optionally also be vested on claim.
- MultiRewardEscrow: Allows anyone to lock up and vest arbitrary tokens over a given time. Will be used mainly in conjuction with MultiRewardStaking.

Some of these contracts depend on older utility contracts which is why this repo contains more than just these contracts. These dependencies have been audited previously. Additionally there are some wip sample strategies which might help to illustrate how strategies can be used in conjuction with adapters.
Note: The AdapterBase.sol still has a TODO to use a deterministic address for feeRecipient. As we didnt deploy this proxy yet on our target chains it remains a placeholder value for the moment. Once the proxy exists we will simply switch out the palceholder address.
There are multiple possible targets for attacks.
- Draining user funds of endorsed vaults
- Draining user funds with malicious vaults/adapter/strategies or staking contracts
- Draining user funds with malicious assets
- Grieving of management functions
- Attack infrastructure to insert malicious assets / adapters / strategies
- Set malicious
deploymentController - Get malicious
Templateendorsed - Get malicious
assetendorsed
- Set malicious
- Initial Deposit exploit (See the test in
YearnAdapter.t.sol) - Change
feesof a vault to the max amount and change thefeeRecipientto the attacker - Exchange the adapter of a vault for a malicious adapter
- Nominate new
ownerof theadminProxyto change configurations or endorse malicioustemplates
- Set
harvestCooldowntoo low and waste tokens and gas on harvests - Add a multitude of templates to make identifing the legit template harder in the endorsement process
Rejectlegit vaults / assetsPausevaults / adapters of othercreators- Predeploy deterministic proxies on other chains
Most of these attacks are only possible when the VaultController is misconfigured on deployment or its owner is compromised. The owner of VaultController should be a MultiSig which should make this process harder but nonetheless not impossible.
EIP-4626 is vulnerable to the so-called inflation attacks. This attack results from the possibility to manipulate the exchange rate and front run a victim’s deposit when the vault has low liquidity volume. A similiar issue that affects yearn is already known. See Finding 3, "Division rounding may affect issuance of shares" in Yearn's ToB audit for the details. In order to combat this AdapterBase.sol ignores gifted assets when calculating totalAssets. (To ensure correct functionality of rebasing tokens is the responsibility of the concrete adapter-implementations).
Additionally creators can send an initial deposit on vault/adapter creation to create some inital volume.
