Strategy Types
Tilt Protocol supports multiple strategy paradigms, all running on the same vault infrastructure.Curator-Managed Strategies
The most common type. A human fund manager (the “curator”) creates a vault, sets target asset weights, and adjusts them over time. How it works:- Curator proposes new target weights via
proposeWeights() - A time-lock delay protects investors from sudden changes
- Once the delay passes, new weights take effect
- Curator triggers rebalancing to align holdings
Oracle-Fed Strategies
Target weights are set automatically by an on-chain oracle rather than a human curator. The vault rebalances whenever the oracle publishes new data. How it works:- An off-chain service monitors a data source (e.g., STOCK Act filings, index rebalances)
- Data is processed into portfolio weights and published to
PortfolioOracle - The vault detects weight changes and triggers rebalancing
- Fully automated — no manual intervention needed
AI-Driven Strategies
The next frontier. AI agents manage vaults programmatically, adjusting weights based on market signals, sentiment analysis, or reinforcement learning models. How it works:- An AI agent interacts with the vault contracts via the on-chain API
- The agent proposes weight changes based on its strategy logic
- Same time-lock and safety mechanisms apply
- The agent can monitor vault state, trigger rebalances, and respond to market conditions
The Developers section covers programmatic vault management for AI agent integration.
