Stockpile Accrual

Why the claim per vPILE only moves one way from protocol activity.

ts
claimValue = NAV / vPILE.totalSupply

// Acquisition:  NAV up,    supply flat  -> claim up
// Wrapping:     NAV flat,  supply up    -> claim flat
// Redemption:   NAV down,  supply down  -> claim flat to up (fee retained)

Protocol activity cannot reduce claim value. Only the market value of the underlying assets can, which is ordinary asset risk rather than a mechanism risk.

  • Wrapping is claim-neutral: new supply arrives with its own backing
  • Acquisitions are claim-positive: backing arrives without new supply
  • Redemption is claim-neutral to positive: the retained fee stays behind
