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.
