What are Dedicated Client Vaults?
Tesseract's Dedicated Client Vaults (DCVs) are on-chain yield vaults where each client gets their own isolated vault on Ethereum mainnet. The structural innovation is simple: one vault per client, no pooling, no commingling. This is what enables the DCV to sit cleanly within the MiCA framework when most yield products in the market cannot.
Product classification: A MiCA-authorised discretionary portfolio management mandate operated by Tesseract Investment Oy, executed through per-client on-chain vaults. It is not software, not a fund, not a wrapper β it is regulated asset management.
Why the design matters
The DCV architecture is designed around the principle that each client's assets should be held in a dedicated, on-chain vault they control for the lifetime of the mandate. That design choice sits at the heart of the compliance, tax and operational profile of the service. Clients are encouraged to obtain their own legal and tax advice.
How it works
One vault per client β each client's vault is a standalone smart contract on Ethereum mainnet.
Non-transferable share token representing 100% ownership (ERCβ4626 compliant). Shares are non-transferable by design, which is intended to keep the DCV outside securities and collective-investment-scheme characterisation. Tesseract's legal analysis supporting this design is available to institutional counterparties under NDA.
Tesseract Investment Oy manages each vault individually under a MiCA-authorised discretionary mandate.
Each vault holds its own positions directly β the client remains the on-chain owner at all times.
Yield is tracked through share price appreciation β auto-compounding, no manual claim required.
Strategy selection β the client chooses a strategy at vault creation based on their risk profile, and can switch strategies on the fly as their preferences change. Current options are visible in the Tesseract app.
