veBANK governance (Phase 2) is the real capital protector.
It’s the brutal early filter: no votes → no emissions → no TVL → strategy dies fast.

The Lifecycle of an OTF: From Idea to Liquid Tokenized Fund on Lorenzo
Most users see the final product: a liquid token (the OTF) they can trade. But the journey from a strategist's idea to that live, yield-generating asset is a complex lifecycle powered entirely by Lorenzo's protocol layers. Understanding this journey reveals the protocol's robustness, its commitment to quality control, and how it mitigates risk for end-investors.
Phase 1: Strategy Formulation & Vault Deployment. A quant team or fund manager develops a strategy (e.g., "Volatility Arbitrage on ETH Perpetuals"). They deploy it as a Simple Vault—a smart contract that holds capital and executes the specific logic. This vault is initially isolated and may undergo internal or community auditing.
Phase 2: Governance Curations & veBANK Bootstrap. To attract capital, the strategist seeks incentives. They present their vault to the community of veBANK holders. Governors vote to allocate $BANK emissions to this vault, boosting its yield and attracting initial TVL. This is a critical quality filter: poor strategies won't gain governance support.
Phase 3: OTF Creation & Compositions. Once a Simple Vault proves itself, it can become a building block. A protocol or a DAO can create a Composed Vault (an OTF) that allocates capital across this and other Simple Vaults (e.g., "Multi-Strategy Yield Fund"). This OTF token is minted, representing a share in the diversified portfolio.
Phase 4: Secondary Market & DeFi Composability. The OTF token is now live. It trades on DEXs, can be used as collateral in lending protocols, or integrated into other DeFi products. Its price reflects both the net asset value (NAV) of its underlying vaults and market sentiment. Liquidity begets more liquidity.
Phase 5: Performance Feedback & Dynamic Rebalancing. This is where it gets intelligent. Based on performance data, the Composed Vault's logic or its veBANK governors can vote to rebalance—shifting capital away from lagging strategies into winning ones. The OTF evolves, unlike a static tokenized index.
This lifecycle ensures that only strategies with community confidence and proven mechanics scale to become major OTFs. It turns capital allocation into a continuous, meritocratic process. For a strategist, this is a revolutionary launchpad. For an investor, it's a managed due diligence funnel.
The final question is about where you see the most value: In Lorenzo's OTF lifecycle, which phase do you think is most critical for protecting investor capital: the initial veBANK governance curation, the ongoing rebalancing, or the transparency of the on-chain performance data?
