The protocol
Modular. Atomic. Composable.
Vaulx originates real-world luxury collateral into on-chain credit through a single Anchor program with five atomic gates. Solid blocks ship once, globally. Dashed blocks swap per market in 60–90 days. The Anchor program in the middle never moves.
Architecture
Five gates, in one signature.
Every loan flows through these gates atomically. There is no Vaulx-controlled "approve" between you and your money — the contract enforces every transition.

▸ 8 of 10 modules ship globally. Only offline appraisal and licensed custodian swap per market — 60–90 days per new country.
▸ Vaulx orchestrates licensed counterparties. We don't take custody, we don't hold capital, and we post a 5% protocol-owned first-loss buffer on every loan.
Lending mechanics
LTV by asset class.
Origination LTV is conservative; liquidation thresholds give every loan a 20-percentage-point buffer. Insurance covers theft and damage to the trustee — it never covers default risk.
| Asset class | Origination LTV | Liquidation LTV |
|---|---|---|
| Steel sport watches | 50% | 70% |
| Gold / precious watches | 40% | 60% |
| Handbags (Hermès, Chanel) | 35% | 55% |
| Art / one-offs · Phase 2 | 25% | 45% |
→ Insurance covers theft & damage to trustee — never default risk.
→ On default: 24h margin call (USDC or Pix top-up) before auction starts.
Cost stack
Three buckets. No hidden spread.
The borrower pays 2% per month — 24% APR linear simple interest. That all-in stacks transparently from three components: cost of capital paid to LPs, cost of operations across the off-chain stack, and cost of risk absorbed by the protocol itself.
Capital structure
Senior. Junior. Risk-priced.
LP capital splits into two tranches sitting above the protocol's own 5% first-loss reserve. Senior is paid first and last to take losses. Junior is risk-priced for the slice between POL and senior. Insurance covers theft and damage to the trustee — never default risk.
Senior beats syrupUSDC (~7%) by 100 bps — backed by physical collateral with insurance + the 5% protocol-owned first-loss buffer.
Risk · liquidation
Risk is tiered. Default is choreographed.
Markets
Where credit is expensive, luxury collateral is everywhere.
Brazil first. Mexico, Turkey, India, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Nigeria next. The same Solana protocol stack across every market — only custody and offline appraisal swap per country, in 60–90 days.
