Isolated Vaults

Definition

Isolated Vaults are smart contract-based containers designed to segregate and protect specific digital assets. These vaults function as secure, independent storage mechanisms where assets are held separately from other funds or protocols, minimizing contagion risk in decentralized finance. Each vault typically has its own set of rules for deposits, withdrawals, and asset management, often governed by a distinct set of parameters or a specific strategy. This architectural approach enhances security by limiting the impact of a breach or exploit to only the assets within that particular vault.
