Vault mechanics

How Suede turns creator revenue into a visible vault.

Suede Vaults connect project proof, rights context, supporter capital, swap routing, and payout terms in one red Suede surface.

Back to vaults Create vault intake

Rights first

Each vault begins with a creator-controlled work record: identity, project metadata, proof context, rights status, and launch terms.

Capital in

Supporters can bring assets from supported chains through Suede Swap. The vault rail standardizes settlement into USDC on Base.

Terms visible

Target, term, cap, revenue share, payout cadence, and review notes are visible before allocation. No hidden spreadsheet layer.

Creator-owned

Vaults are funding and participation wrappers around artist rights. They do not erase creator ownership or bury provenance.
