# inTokens

**inTokens are modular, composable vault tokens that unify DeFi’s most competitive, sustainable, and risk-adjusted reward opportunities into a single, ERC-standardized structure.**

They are built using ERC-4626 (standardized vaults) and optionally support ERC-7540 (asynchronous operations), allowing for powerful integrations, yield abstraction, and seamless interoperability across protocols.

Each Intoken bundles one or more layers of curated exposure:

| **inToken0: Multi-Curated Vault**    | Vaults built by industry-grade curators, sourced from top DeFi ecosystems.     |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **inToken: Shared Security Rewards** | Opt-in composability with shared security layers like EigenLayer or Symbiotic. |
| **inToken+: Strategy Enhancements**  | Additional DeFi strategies like LPs, looping, or yield tokenization on top.    |

Every inToken is issued by an independent curator, not by Inception itself, using a permissionless infrastructure powered by Inception’s vault factory, routing, and liquidity tooling.

## inToken0 

→ ***Multi-Curated Vault Access***

The **base layer inToken0** gives users access to curated vaults sourced from multiple protocols, all bundled into a single solution.

**▸ What it includes:**

* Handpicked vaults from curators operating on Morpho, Midas, Gearbox, etc.
* Allocations can be built around themes: RWAs, Stablecoin lending, Solana Staking, etc.
* Risk diversification by design, no single point of failure in vault logic.

**▸ What it *****doesn't***** include:**

* No exposure to shared security network rewards
* No active DeFi execution (looping, LPing, etc.)

*Use case:* A user wants simple, multi-source exposure to curated DeFi rewards with strong risk-adjusted returns, without shared security mechanics or strategic overlays

***

## inToken

→ ***Shared Security Composability***

The **inToken+** introduces a second layer of rewards: **shared security networks**.

These are curated vaults that also participate in economic security provisioning for third-party infrastructures like **EigenLayer** or **Symbiotic,** meaning the user gets additional rewards from being indirectly involved in securing on-chain infrastructure (e.g., DA layers, oracles, sequencers) on top of the underlying rewards that inToken0 (layer 1) have to offer.

**▸ What it includes:**

* All Layer 1 vault exposure (curator-selected vaults)
  * Shared security rewards from protocols leveraging Inception's collateral

**▸What it *****doesn't***** include:**

* Active DeFi strategy overlays (like LPing, looping, etc.)

*Use case*: A user who seeks risk-adjusted rewards but doesn’t want to get locked into shared security's native friction (e.g., 7–21 day unbonding periods) and wants a composable position with built-in abstraction and opt-out liquidity through Inception’s *Flash Unstake module*.

***

## inToken+

→ ***Full Stack Strategy Execution***

The most rewarding exposed layer is **inToken+,** which bundles curated vaults, shared security rewards, and **DeFi-native strategy overlays,** built directly into the vault logic.

These strategies can include:

* Looping (through lending markets)
* Liquidity provisioning (through DEXs)
* Yield tokenization or fixed-term strategies
* Delta-neutral or basis trade setups

**What it includes:**

* Full Layer 1: multi-curated vaults
* Full Layer 2: shared security rewards
* Execution of DeFi-native strategies

**What it *****doesn't***** include:**

* Manual complexity, all logic abstracted into a single token with transparent mechanics

*Use case:* A DeFi user or institution that wants exposure to advanced, high-performing strategies that are otherwise difficult to manage manually, all through a single liquid token.
