Create a Fund — Full Guide

This page covers every detail of fund creation on Tilt Protocol.

​
Fund Identity

​
Name

Your fund’s display name. Choose something descriptive that communicates your strategy:
  • “Tech Growth Fund”
  • “AI Momentum Strategy”
  • “Blue Chip Dividend Mix”

​
Symbol

A short ticker symbol (2-10 characters) that becomes your vault’s ERC-20 share token. The protocol prefixes it with tilt:
  • Symbol: TECH → Token: tiltTECH
  • Symbol: AIMF → Token: tiltAIMF

​
Portfolio Construction

​
Selecting Assets

Choose from 100+ available tokenized assets. You can search by ticker or company name. Assets span:
  • Mega-cap tech: AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, AMZN
  • Financials: JPM, V, MA, GS, BLK
  • Healthcare: LLY, UNH, JNJ, MRK, PFE
  • Consumer: TSLA, HD, WMT, COST, SBUX
  • Crypto-adjacent: ETH, COIN, MSTR, HOOD
  • And many more across all sectors
Only tokens approved by the vault factory can be included. This prevents funds from holding unpriced or illiquid assets.

​
Setting Weights

Weights are specified in percentages (internally stored as basis points, where 100% = 10,000 BPS). Rules:
  • Each asset weight must be > 0% (you can’t add a 0% allocation)
  • Total weights must sum to between 1% and 100%
  • The unallocated portion (100% minus total weight) remains as idle tiltUSDC
Example allocations:
StrategyAllocationIdle Cash
Concentrated techNVDA 40%, AAPL 30%, MSFT 30%0%
Balanced with cashNVDA 25%, AAPL 20%, JPM 15%, JNJ 10%30%
Single-assetETH 100%0%
Cash-heavyTSLA 10%, AMZN 10%80%

​
Token Limit

Vaults can hold up to 30 different tokens at once. This cap prevents excessive gas costs during rebalancing and withdrawal operations.

​
Seed Deposit

Every fund requires a minimum seed deposit to initialize. This:
  • Creates the initial vault shares
  • Burns the first 1,000 shares to address(1) (inflation attack protection)
  • Gives the vault its starting NAV
  • Demonstrates the curator’s skin-in-the-game
The seed deposit is invested alongside future depositors — you’re aligned with your investors.

​
Vault Creation Fee

A small creation fee (in ETH) is charged to deploy the vault. This covers:
  • BeaconProxy deployment gas
  • VaultRegistry registration
  • RebalanceEngine authorization
  • FeeManager configuration

​
After Deployment

Once deployed, your fund is immediately:
  1. Discoverable — listed on the Tilt app for investors to find
  2. Depositable — anyone can deposit tiltUSDC and receive shares
  3. Manageable — you can update weights and trigger rebalancing
