Ember Protocol
Frequently Asked Questions

Ember Protocol is an everything-vaults platform that consolidates single-asset yields, market-making strategies, structured products, and tokenized real-world assets into one unified interface. Unlike traditional DeFi yield aggregators, Ember Protocol partners with professional vault managers to offer institutional-quality strategies accessible to all depositors — without requiring active management on your part.

Ember Protocol vaults deploy deposited capital through curated, manager-run strategies. Depending on the vault, yield may be generated through lending protocol interest, basis trading, concentrated liquidity provisioning, real-world asset coupon payments, or prediction market returns. Each vault discloses its strategy type and risk profile so you can make an informed decision before depositing.

Ember Protocol supports a broad range of assets including USDC, SUI, tBTC, xBTC, suiUSDe, BLUE, and tokenized real-world assets such as ACRED. New assets are added regularly as new vault partnerships are established. Each vault page specifies exactly which asset is accepted for deposit.

Ember Protocol currently operates on Ethereum and Sui. The crosschain architecture allows certain vaults — such as the Crosschain USD Vault — to capture yield across both networks simultaneously. Additional chain support is planned as the platform continues to expand.

Ember Protocol categorizes each vault into one of three risk profiles:

Delta-Neutral — Strategies designed to minimize directional price exposure. Yield is generated from market dynamics without significant upside or downside dependence on asset prices. Most stablecoin and RWA vaults fall into this category.

Balanced — Moderate exposure to underlying asset price. Strategies may include lending and liquidity provisioning for liquid tokens like SUI, BTC, and BLUE.

Asymmetric — Strategies with directional exposure and potentially higher returns, such as prediction market vaults or concentrated liquidity positions. These carry higher variance in outcomes.

Ember Protocol takes a multi-layered approach to security. Smart contracts undergo independent third-party audits before deployment. Vault strategies are reviewed and managed by credentialed professionals. Delta-neutral approaches reduce systemic market risk, and ongoing monitoring catches anomalies early. You can access the Security page directly from the Ember Protocol platform for full audit documentation and risk disclosures.

Getting started on Ember Protocol takes just a few steps:

1. Visit ember.so and click "Get Started".
2. Connect your wallet (EVM-compatible or Sui wallet, depending on your target vault).
3. Browse the vault list and filter by category, chain, or manager.
4. Click on a vault to review the strategy, APY, TVL, and risk profile.
5. Click "Deposit", enter your amount, and confirm the transaction.

Yield begins accruing automatically after your deposit is confirmed on-chain.

Fee structures on Ember Protocol vary by vault and vault manager. Vaults may charge a management fee (a percentage of assets under management, annualized) and/or a performance fee (a percentage of profits generated). All fees are clearly disclosed on each vault's detail page before you commit any capital. The APY figures shown on Ember Protocol are displayed net of fees where applicable.

Most Ember Protocol vaults support standard on-demand withdrawals subject to available liquidity in the vault at the time of the request. However, vaults that invest in real-world assets (such as private credit or money market funds) may operate on defined redemption windows — typically aligned with the underlying asset's settlement cycle. Withdrawal terms are always disclosed on each vault's detail page before deposit.

Ember Protocol partners exclusively with credentialed institutional and professional vault managers. Current partners include Third Eye, MEV Capital, Gamma, SUIG, Bluefin, Axil, Pharos, R25, UDL, Polymarket, and Ember Protocol's own internal team. Each manager's identity, strategy type, track record, and mandate are disclosed on their respective vault pages.

Ember Protocol shows both 7-day APY and 30-day APY for each vault on the main listing page. The 7-day figure reflects recent short-term performance and can be more volatile — useful for spotting trend changes. The 30-day figure is a smoother, time-averaged view that better represents sustained returns. For most vaults, the 30-day APY is the recommended reference for expected ongoing yield.

Yes. Ember Protocol is one of the few DeFi platforms offering native access to tokenized real-world asset strategies. Current RWA offerings include:

Ember ACRED — Private credit exposure through tokenized ACRED.
Pharos RealFi Ecosystem Vault — Consumer credit strategies via Axil, Pharos, and R25.
R25 Treasury Vault — Money market fund exposure on Sui.
rcUSD Vault — Institutional money market access on Sui.

These vaults combine the transparency of on-chain infrastructure with the stability of traditional finance instruments.
