Superform Labs, New York, NY — May 28th, 2026
Everyone is launching “non-custodial” vaults, but the truth is, most are still black boxes.
What is the vault allowed to do? How does it handle rebalances? What rules govern automated execution? How is pricing updated? What changed, when, and why?
Today, too much of that logic lives offchain, inside private workflows, internal scripts, and trusted processes.
That is the problem SuperformOS is built to solve.
SuperformOS is the operating system for programmable vaults: a verifiable strategy engine that lets anyone launch, operate, and distribute vault products with transparent rules, bounded execution, validator-attested pricing, and auditable operating history.
Curators can define and automate the strategy. Users can inspect it. Institutions can diligence it. Regulators can match precedent. Execution stays bounded within the rules the vault has set onchain.
Vaults do not need another dashboard just showing proof of reserves. Users should not be relying on X posts to understand what happened with their money. And curators do not need another custody wrapper masquerading as vault infrastructure.
They need a verifiable operating system.
What SuperformOS does
SuperformOS brings the vault operating layer into the open.
It connects the vault contract, operator configuration, strategy rules, dual-Merkle authorized actions, automation, intent execution, validator-attested pricing, and operating history into one verifiable surface.
Through SuperformOS, curators can:
- Launch ERC-7540 programmable vaults without rebuilding the full operating stack
- Define eligible yield sources, venues, oracles, managers, fees, and roles
- Authorize executable actions through Merkle roots and proof artifacts
- Express actions as rule-based strategies, like deposits, withdrawals, claims, swaps, bridges, and rebalances
- Monitor intent history, fills, errors, transaction hashes, and configuration changes
- Use validator-attested NAV with staleness and abnormal-movement safeguards
- Pause vault operations, pause services, or trigger emergency exits when conditions change
- Distribute vaults through Superform web, mobile, APIs, and partner surfaces
- Participate in Superform incentive programs
Superform not only makes curation accessible to funds, issuers, fintechs, and agents, it makes the curation process legible to everyone.
Verifiable Strategy Engines
In SuperformOS, rules describe when capital should be deployed, when idle liquidity should be maintained, when a position should be exited, when a rebalance should occur, and what conditions must be true before execution can happen.
Those rules are evaluated against onchain vault state. When conditions are met, the Strategy Engine publishes an intent. The OMS (order management system) handles the execution lifecycle, while approved actions and onchain transactions provide the enforcement and evidence trail.
Automation alone does not make a vault non-custodial and verifiable. A bot can rebalance a vault without showing why. A trusted script can execute a strategy without leaving a track record.
SuperformOS turns strategy execution into a reviewable system: what rule fired, what action was authorized, what intent was published, and what transaction executed.
Why this matters for curators
SuperformOS lowers the barrier to entry for new curators and raises the ceiling for established ones.
For teams without infrastructure, it compresses the path from strategy idea to live vault product. They do not need to stitch together contracts, operations tooling, monitoring, automation, pricing, and distribution from scratch.
For teams that already have infrastructure, SuperformOS gives them something that is extremely difficult to build bespoke: public verifiability. Private strategy systems work until they don’t, and building verifiability from scratch is expensive, slow, and easy to get wrong. Starting today, SuperformOS gives curators that layer out of the box.
Why this matters for users
DeFi has lost a third of its TVL this year. Users don’t believe they are being accurately compensated for risk they are taking, have lost trust in operators to appropriately manage this risk, and lack a place to transparently understand it.
SuperVaults and SuperformOS compress risk across multiple vectors:
- Technology risk is reduced via transparency and standardization around strategy operations, beyond the smart contract layer
- Oracle risk is compressed by circuit breakers and automated pausing of strategies natively in SuperVaults
- Operational risk is limited with a clear separation of responsibilities and checks and balances between vault operators, validators, and protocol governance
- Regulatory risk is contained by decentralized, non-custodial vault products with public rule-based execution
- De-peg and illiquidity risk is compressed by better monitoring and emergency automations that can be codified into the strategy engine
Together, through better, more intentionally constructed technology, we can build this trust back.
Vaults need a software update
ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 made onchain strategies easier to package.
The next step is making these onchain primitives easier to operate, inspect, and trust.
In the same way that AOL and its proprietary protocols were displaced by the open internet protocols, SuperformOS is an open platform built on open standards.
It is an order of magnitude better than closed systems in the custodial, centralized world that want to charge you an exorbitant price simply for the privilege of using their platform.
Together, SuperformOS, SuperVaults, and Superform Apps make programmable vaults launchable, operable, verifiable, and distributable from day one.
SuperformOS is now live in beta.
