OD NFT Vaults Banner 2

Open Dollar NFT Vaults (NFVs) are a new primitive in DeFi and a unique feature of the Open Dollar protocol.

On Open Dollar, vaults are represented as NFTs, making each vault distinct and transferable. This feature marks a significant evolution from traditional CDPs. Unlike traditional CDPs, where ownership is tied to an account, Open Dollar uses NFVs, which associate ownership of the collateral and debt to NFTs.

Features

  • ERC-721 standard: NFVs are compatible with all blockchain wallets and NFT marketplaces that support ERC-721.
  • Dynamic display images and metadata: NFV images show the current status, health, collateral, and debt of the vault with time-stamped updates, and are rendered entirely onchain.
  • Direct Wallet Management: Users can directly manage and track their CDPs from their wallets, bypassing the need for interacting with the protocol's front end.
  • Composability and Cross-Chain Capability: Facilitates easy batch-transfers and asset ownership transfers, along with efficient cross-chain compatibility.
  • Enhanced Visibility and Tracking: Integrates with wallet aggregators and portfolio trackers for dynamic pricing and updated insights.

Benefits

  • Transferability and Liquidity: NFVs make CDPs transferable and liquid, allowing trading in the open market.
  • Capital Efficiency and Accessibility: NFVs offer a capital-efficient solution, automating the selling of vaults to avoid liquidation penalties.
  • Improved Treasury and Risk Management: Contributes to enhanced treasury management, risk assessment, and performance tracking.
  • Security Benefits: Integrates into compliance and escrow services for enhanced protection against bad actors.
