Welcome to Valio SZN0

In the high-risk, high-reward world of crypto, few have what it takes to rise the ranks and become a successful degen. You can learn from the best, join the highest signal telegram group, and master the art of on-chain trade execution, but nothing guarantees excellent returns.

On the everlasting quest for alpha, you may look to those above you for advice in hopes of replicating their success. However, simply trying to follow the best traders on the market or “copy trading” them won’t work, leaving you with unsatisfactory results. Starting July 24th, shift your focus from searching for the next 100x coin to finding the next 100x trader. On Valio, you will be able to discover and invest with the most skilled traders in crypto.

Valio is a trustless, non-custodial, and chain-agnostic way to unlock the full potential of on-chain asset management. Back talented traders in crypto or monetize your skillset, and it all starts with SZN0.

SZN0 Schedule

The launch consists of 2 phases.

Early Access Opening on 7/24

If you applied for early access, connect to Guild.xyz with your wallet and Discord account. Accepted users will unlock the SZN0 Whitelist channel in the Valio Discord server. This channel will provide all the necessary information for early access and guidance on initially navigating Valio. Early access users will also get a head start on earning platform rewards as part of the SZN0 trading competition, which come in the form of lootbox spins. Completing tasks and climbing the leaderboards will increase your level, unlocking more spins for chances to win Basic, Rare, and Legendary rewards. We’ll also reserve a secret lootbox tier for only the top-performing users of SZN0.

Public Access Opening on 8/7

Following the two weeks of early access, Valio will open up to the public. At this point, we invite all traders and depositors to participate in SZN0; create vaults, deposit with your favorite traders, and earn lootbox rewards until the end of SZN0 (to be determined.) 

Platform Features

Valio is a platform that connects traders to capital in a completely trustless manner. On the platform, traders and depositors have many features to help them perform their best. Whether in portfolio management or screening for the top-performing traders that fit a specific investor’s goals, we’re sure you’ll have everything you need to succeed.

Vault Navigation

Every trader has their own style, and every depositor has their own goals. Valio has powerful vault exploration filters so depositors can find exactly what fits their risk profile, timeline, sentiment, and preferred sector. Say you’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about GameFi and want to add some exposure to your portfolio, or you’re after a long-term market-neutral lending strategy; you can specify all these parameters to find exactly what you want. 

Once you’ve set your filters, matching vaults will be displayed with daily, weekly, and overall return metrics to see which traders have outperformed. On the flip side, traders can use these labels to advertise their vaults better, making it easier to be discovered by prospective depositors. 

Vault Creation

Managers will find the vault creation process to be quite straightforward on Valio. It starts with naming and detailing the thesis for your vault, then selecting the chain you’ll be trading on. GMX on Arbitrum and 0x on Optimism will be available for SZN0 as the gas cost advantages are optimal for a new user base to test the platform. Additional chains and trading venues will be added in the near future. 

The next step in vault setup is to select a risk profile to determine the amount of price impact your trades are allowed under Valio’s CPIT parameters (more on this novel depositor protection mechanism later). After establishing a risk profile, managers can set up a customized fee structure with options for management and/or performance-based fees. 

Lastly, managers are encouraged to give depositors insight into their trading mindset in a short ‘Pulse’ on their profile. Beyond creating vaults, managers can connect their Twitter & Discord accounts to Valio to connect with their CT audience and directly communicate with depositors. Maximum vault AUM for SZN0 is set to $10,000, so make full use of these features for better visibility on your vault as you climb the trading competition leaderboard. 

Position Management

This section contains everything to do with your deposits; the vaults you’ve allocated funds to, individual vault and total return stats, and deposit and withdrawal functionality. These features are all in one place for a smooth experience and clear performance visibility. 

On-Chain Asset Management Redefined

An elegant user interface is essential, but what’s under the hood truly sets Valio apart in the asset management sector. 

• Omnichain Accessibility

• Depositor Safeguards

• Instant Withdrawals

Omnichain Access via LayerZero

When it comes to on-chain assets, the investable universe is massive and constantly expanding. New chains, assets, and trading protocols are launched all the time. Building Valio on top of LayerZero allows it to support the on-chain investable universe more than similar platforms. And as the industry matures, the product offering through Valio will continue to grow. Traders and depositors will have greater access to investment opportunities through this omnichain infrastructure and unified liquidity across chains. 

Depositor Safeguarding Through Self-custody and CPIT

Self-custody is central to the decentralized ethos of crypto and the idea of true ownership, which Valio fully supports. Time and time again, crypto investors have encountered the woes of custodial platforms like FTX and Celsius, where depositing assets with these institutions required users to trust that their funds weren’t being mismanaged behind closed doors. It’s an unnecessary counterparty risk. 

Depositors on Valio will always retain custody of their assets and formidable safeguards have been developed that eliminate the need to place trust in managers. Part of this protection exists in the whitelisting process for trading protocols, as managers can only deposit funds in Valio-approved platforms. The other element is Valio’s proprietary CPIT mechanism, which prevents malicious trading activities within the whitelisted protocols. Depending on a vault’s risk profile, it is assigned a Cumulative Price Impact Tolerance. This percentage limits the price impact a manager’s trades can have, preventing the siphoning of funds through artificial market displacement. Put simply, a manager can’t use depositor funds to pump a token they own in a personal wallet and then dump their own tokens at the inflated price. Valio is the first platform to solve this problem.

Instant Withdrawals

This goes hand in hand with depositor safeguarding; deposited assets on Valio belong to you, and access to liquidity should be instant. After an initial 24-hour period, deposited funds can be withdrawn at any time, either in kind with the tokens in your portfolio or consolidated into a single token like ETH or USDC. Automated exit strategies can also be implemented for exiting vaults based on a stop-loss, take-profit, or a CPIT parameter. 

Welcome to Valio

We’re beyond excited to bring you the future of on-chain asset management. Build your public reputation, discover talented traders, and experience the power of trustless omnichain asset management. Welcome to SZN0.
