FAQs

Here, we've answered the most frequently asked questions about AFI

What is AFI?

AFI is the Financial Intelligence Ledger For RWAs. We provide fully auditable vaults, cryptographic proofs, and ERC-4626 receipt tokens to ensure that on-chain assets remain verifiably backed by real-world collateral or yield strategies.

What does Proof-Of-Reserve (POR) mean?

Proof-Of-Reserve means that for each asset tokenized and vaulted, the supply of the circulating receipt token (e.g., afi-rwaX) is always ≤ the verified locked collateral or underlying asset, as enforced on-chain via smart contracts and an independent attestation network.

What is the difference between tokenization and verifiable collateralization?

Tokenization is merely issuing a digital representation of an asset. Verifiable collateralization means that the asset backing that token is auditable, on-chain locked, and programmatically enforced — not just promised in a PDF.

Who is AFI built for?

AFI is built for:

• Institutional treasury teams seeking tokenized real-world assets with full transparency

• DeFi protocols needing composable, verifiably backed collateral

• Yield investors needing transparent strategies with enforceable supply constraints

• Issuers of RWAs looking for a trust-minimized distribution layer

What are POR Vaults?

POR Vaults are ERC-4626 compliant vault contracts that lock collateral (e.g., rwaX) and mint corresponding receipt tokens (e.g., afi-rwaX). The vault ensures supply cannot exceed verified backing, and reserve proofs are published via the PoR Registry.

How does the vault ensure backing remains intact?

The vault monitors three variables each epoch:

• On-chain locked tokens, Ron​

• Attested off-chain collateral, Roff​

• Circulating receipt supply S It enforces the invariant:

S ≤ α⋅min(Ron​,Roff​)

Where α is a safety coefficient (e.g., 0.95).

What happens if the underlying issuer mints more collateral tokens without locking them?

Because the receipt token’s mint function is governed by the vault logic, new receipt tokens cannot be minted unless additional collateral is locked and verified. This prevents unchecked minting and ensures that the invariant remains enforced.

How safe are my assets when using AFI Vaults?

Your assets are stored on-chain in audited smart contracts. All our audit reports are linked here. Collateral is locked into the ERC-4626 vault and cannot be arbitrarily transferred.

Which wallets are supported?

Any standard Web3 wallet compatible with the blockchain network (e.g., MetaMask, Ledger, WalletConnect) can interact with AFI Vaults. Be sure to connect via the official app link: https://app.afiprotocol.ai

Can I use multiple chains for the same vault?

No, currently AFI is live on ETH L1.

How can I contact support?

Submit your query via [email protected] or join our Discord community. We aim to respond within 24 business hours.

Does AFI have a dedicated mobile app?

Not currently. You can access all vault functionality via the web application in your mobile browser.

Are there fees for deposits or withdrawals?

Vaults support configurable fees at the strategy or vault level. Currently, deposit and withdrawal fees are 0%.
