Roles and capacities

Navigate between the different roles to discover their associated capacities.

Lagoon vaults use role-based permissions to separate governance, execution, valuation, and access control. This structure reduces operational risk and makes responsibilities explicit. It is designed to mirror traditional asset management and compliance standards, where duties are split across independent functions and controls. Each role has a defined scope and can be assigned to different entities or custody setups.

Below is a summary of what each role can do:

Vault Admin

Governs configuration and safety controls. It does not run the strategy, but it can change critical parameters.

Vault Curator

Manages strategy allocation and executes settlements. It validates the valuation proposal and decides when to process deposit and withdrawal batches.

Valuation Provider

Proposes the valuation inputs used to set the settlement price per share. Accuracy matters because it drives how many shares are minted, how much users redeem, and how fees are applied.

Whitelist Manager

Maintain the allowed list of depositor on KYC or KYB gated vaults.
