Creating a Vault

Vault creation is permissionless — any wallet can create a vault for any qualifying ERC-20 token, on any of the five chains.

Before you start​

  • Cost: exactly 0.004 ETH (paid to the factory → routed to the DAO treasury). On Arc, gas is USDC but the creation fee is still 0.004 ETH-equivalent per the factory's fixed fee.
  • Qualifying token: exposes decimals() ∈ [0, 18] and has no canonical vault yet (first vault per token wins, forever).
  • The app additionally screens for honeypot patterns, DEX liquidity and holder count — junk vaults are possible on-chain but economically pointless.

Steps​

  1. Open the app at app.dhp.cryptosidao.org and connect your wallet.
  2. Pick the chain with the chain selector (Base is the default view). Vault creation happens on the chain your wallet is connected to.
  3. Go to Create a Vault, paste the token contract address. The app probes decimals(), symbol and the anti-FOT profile automatically.
  4. Fill in the two immutable payout addresses:
    • Creator wallet — receives 2% of every tax on this vault, forever.
    • Creation platform wallet — receives 2% of every tax, forever (the app pre-fills its own address; integrators can substitute theirs).
  5. Preview the transaction. It must read: factory 0x64BE…6929, value 0.004 ETH, createVault. Nothing else.
  6. Confirm in your wallet. The vault address appears instantly; the first vault per token becomes the canonical registry entry (getVault).
Wallet security notice

Coinbase Wallet (Blockaid-powered) may flag the creation tx as "high-risk transfer / untrusted contract". This is a known false positive for freshly verified contracts. The app shows a SecurityNotice at the creation step — check the preview reads exactly: factory, 0.004 ETH, createVault.

What you cannot do​

  • ❌ Set custom taxes — the 5/10 canon is hardwired
  • ❌ Upgrade or pause the vault — zero admin functions exist
  • ❌ Change the creator or platform payout addresses — immutable at init
  • ❌ Overwrite an existing canonical vault for the same token — duplicates get their own independent vault instead

After creation​

Share the vault page — deposits are open immediately. As the creator you accrue 2% of every entry and exit tax on the vault, claimable via the fee rail. Your upside is community growth, not exit liquidity.
