Structural Overview

VISP, developed by Vingt.io, is a web3 asset management platform serving as essential financial infrastructure for entrepreneurs. It operates as a decentralized, permissionless platform, empowering entrepreneurs to create their unique Indices and Trackers.

These customized Token Sets, backed by fully collateralized crypto-assets, represent on-chain tokens. These Token Sets interact with various protocol categories and adhere to the manager's specific strategy. Investors can conveniently replicate the same strategy by minting or purchasing the Set.

The foundational VISP protocol comprises multiple smart contract suites, facilitating seamless integration with decentralized exchanges, platforms, automated market makers, and asset protocols. As the protocol evolves, it will also support more advanced strategies such as yield farming, perpetual swaps, and margin trading. Here is a competitors' comparison for VISP by Vingt.io

User Roles

Investors: Investors allocate their capital and, in return, receive Set tokens representing their share of the structured product. These investors maintain full custody of their assets as they are secured by the Set Token contract, making them inaccessible to asset managers.

Managers: Managers are responsible for maintaining and rebalancing structured products in line with their asset management strategies. They have the flexibility to offer their products to a diverse range of customer profiles. This includes curating products as investment opportunities for individual or institutional investors, as well as creating products for servicing DAO treasuries. Managers can monetize their products through streaming fees or performance fees, enabling them to achieve profitability as their products gain traction.

Developers: Developers leverage Set Protocol as a foundational layer to expedite the realization of their financial goals. Whether their aim is to create an algorithmically rebalanced cryptocurrency index or a delta-neutral investment portfolio tailored to a specific customer base, Set Protocol serves as a robust foundation.

VISP's Role: VISP empowers developers to usher in the next generation of financial products within the DeFi ecosystem on BNB Chain. These developers can forge their own communities and make valuable contributions to the VISP and Vingt.io ecosystem.

Technical Foundation: VISP builds upon the open-source system architecture already in use by Set Protocol V2, which has been thoroughly audited by OpenZeppelin.
