AutoVaults
Ramses AutoVaults (Relays)
AutoVaults are built to remove governance friction while preserving optimized outcomes.
Stake and chill.
How It Works
AutoVaults simplify the xRAM staking experience into three steps:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Stake xRAM | Deposit your xRAM into the AutoVault |
| 2. Select Reward Token | Choose from the output tokens currently enabled by the AutoVault contract |
| 3. Relax | The system handles voting, underlying reward collection, and conversion; converted rewards become claimable |
The vault submits votes automatically each epoch using the same x33 methodology that powers hyperRAM. Users do not vote manually, but they do submit a transaction to claim converted rewards.
Reward Tokens
AutoVault is currently available on HyperEVM. The available output tokens are maintained in the AutoVault contract and displayed in the app's Reward Token selector. Because this list can change, the in-app selector is the authoritative source.
AutoVault output tokens are ERC-20 tokens. Native assets appear through their supported wrapped or tokenized representation where applicable.
x33 Voting Methodology
AutoVaults use an operator-managed version of the x33 methodology that powers hyperRAM:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Strategy Inputs | Vote allocation can consider pool fees, vote incentives, and liquidity depth |
| Epoch Execution | Voting happens automatically each epoch |
| Aggregator Routing | Collected rewards are converted through approved aggregators |
| Reward Conversion | Converted output tokens are credited as claimable rewards; they are not reinvested into the xRAM deposit |
The operator uses these inputs to select votes and conversion routes. Outcomes depend on realized fees, incentives, liquidity, execution, and market conditions; the strategy does not guarantee the highest possible return.
Benefits
No Manual Voting
Traditional xRAM staking requires weekly votes to direct emissions. AutoVaults eliminate this entirely—voting is fully automated.
No Maintenance
- No weekly decisions to make
- No manual collection or conversion of underlying voting rewards
- Claim converted rewards when you choose
- No positions to rebalance
No Decision Fatigue
Users do not need to analyze which pools to vote for. The operator manages the strategy each epoch.
Automated by Default
AutoVaults apply the x33 methodology automatically. Realized results vary and are not guaranteed.
AutoVaults vs Manual Staking vs hyperRAM
| Feature | AutoVaults | Manual xRAM | hyperRAM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voting | Automated | Weekly manual | Automated |
| Reward Token | Selectable | Mixed tokens | hyperRAM |
| Claiming | Manual claim | Manual | Automatic |
| Optimization | Operator-managed | User-dependent | Algorithmic |
| Effort Required | Low | Weekly | Low |
| Liquidity | Withdrawable during unlocked periods | Withdrawable | Liquid (tradeable) |
Getting Started
- Acquire xRAM — Convert RAM to xRAM or earn through emissions
- Navigate to AutoVaults — Find the vault for your preferred reward token
- Deposit xRAM — Stake your position
- Claim Rewards — Rewards are converted automatically, then claimed with a user transaction
Deposits, withdrawals, output changes, and claims are available only while the AutoVault is unlocked. The vault locks while epoch rewards are processed and during the final hour before an epoch flip. Deposits can also pause during the VoteModule cooldown. Withdrawing before an epoch's reward processing is complete may forfeit that epoch's rewards. The contract does not charge a withdrawal fee, but withdrawals are not available at every moment.
