ERC-7540 and asynchronous redemptions

When a request is not a fill. The standard for vaults that cannot settle immediately.

  1. 01Request
  2. 02Pending
  3. 03Claim or cancel
  4. 04Not a fill

Asynchronous by design

ERC-7540 extends the vault model for deposits and redemptions that cannot settle in the same transaction. That matters for credit, RWAs, basis trades and anything gated by an off-chain event or a queue.

A request is not liquidity

Seeing a request function is not the same as receiving assets. The request can wait on a curator, a redemption window, available liquidity or a settlement agent. AltVaults labels those paths asynchronous and refuses to call them instant.

What to inspect

Look for who can fulfil or cancel a request, whether a controller address can move it, and what happens if the strategy is paused while you are in the queue.

Digital assets and DeFi protocols are high risk. You may lose some or all of the assets you deploy. AltVaults DeFi provides software, data and informational tools. It does not provide investment advice, recommendations, brokerage, custody, fund management or guaranteed returns.
