About Veda
Veda provides vault infrastructure built on the BoringVault smart contract standard for fintechs, exchanges, and asset managers that want to offer onchain yield. Partners can deploy yield vaults across multiple blockchains and protocols, configure compliance and whitelisting controls, and use Veda Curation Services to have strategies actively managed. All vault assets are held in non-custodial smart contracts with operations constrained to a Merkle-verified set of pre-approved actions.
