What Is AquaVaults?
AquaVaults helps communities turn on-chain activity into community-directed value through swaps, participation systems, and reusable ecosystem infrastructure.
A Community Revenue Layer
Every active community creates a constant stream of on-chain activity. Members trade, rotate positions, support projects, and move between tokens. That activity generates value — but almost none of it flows back to the community it came from.
When someone swaps through a generic platform, the platform earns. The community the user belongs to earns nothing.
AquaVaults changes that relationship. It gives communities a way to capture value from the activity their users already create — without requiring any changes to how users behave, and without asking communities to build their own swap infrastructure.
When a community is listed on AquaVaults, its members can select that community before they trade. Their swap activity then routes fees toward that community. The trading behavior stays exactly the same. The destination of the value changes.
The Core Idea
The entire model reduces to four steps.
Connect a wallet
Users connect any supported Solana wallet. AquaVaults is non-custodial — the user stays in full control of their keys and funds throughout.
Select a community
The user picks a listed community they want to support. That selection stays active across swaps and platform activity for as long as they keep it.
Use AquaVaults tools
Swap on Solana or EVM networks, run AutoSwap sessions, set Limit Orders, use embedded Swap Widgets, and participate in the Co-op Mining Rig. AquaVaults tools are designed to keep community-directed activity connected across the platform.
Activity generates value
When a community other than AquaVaults is selected and the platform fee is above 0%, the community's active Growth Program share of that fee routes toward that community through AquaVaults' routing infrastructure, with the remainder routing to AquaVaults. Treasury wallet routing is the core routing path, while communities that configure Jupiter referral accounts gain additional token-specific routing paths for supported tokens. The platform fee is always user-controlled and can be set to 0%.
Same users. Same swaps. Better direction.
Why It Exists
Most communities that have real traction — active holders, engaged members, daily discussion — have never had a practical way to capture revenue from their own users' on-chain behavior.
Building that infrastructure from scratch is expensive, time-consuming, and outside the core skills of most community teams. Creating a swap platform requires routing infrastructure, fee management, smart contracts, ongoing maintenance, and security considerations. Most communities will never build that. They should not have to.
AquaVaults exists to give communities access to that infrastructure without building it. A listed community can direct its members to a working swap platform, fee routing system, activity engine, and embeddable widget — all on day one, with no development required on their end.
The only thing communities need to bring is their users.
What Makes It Different
There are other ways for communities to generate value on-chain. AquaVaults takes a different approach on several key points.
User-Selected Communities
Users choose which community their activity supports. That selection is deliberate — it creates a stronger connection between the user, the trade, and the community than passive fee models.
Direct Fee Routing
When a community other than AquaVaults is selected and the platform fee is above 0%, the community's active Growth Program share of that fee routes to that community's registered treasury wallet. Communities that configure Jupiter referral accounts add token-specific routing paths on top of that foundation. No custom infrastructure is required to participate in fee routing.
Non-Custodial by Design
AquaVaults never takes custody of user funds. Every transaction is signed by the user directly from their own wallet. The platform provides the interface — users control execution.
No Development Required
Communities do not need to write code, build infrastructure, or maintain anything to participate. Getting listed is a configuration step, not a development project.
Built for Recurring Activity
AquaVaults tools are designed around repeated engagement — AutoSwap sessions, daily Co-op participation, recurring swap campaigns — not just individual one-time trades.
How Communities Use It
The most direct path for any listed community is simple: tell your members to select the community before they swap. That single action turns ordinary trading behavior into community-directed revenue.
But the platform supports more than that. Communities that want to run coordinated activity have tools to do it.
A community can organize volume pushes around AutoSwap sessions, where members run repeated swap sequences that generate sustained activity instead of scattered one-off trades. They can embed the Swap Widget directly on their own website or campaign page, so users never have to leave the community's context to participate. They can rally their holders around the Co-op Mining Rig, where daily participation competes across a community leaderboard.
Each of these tools works independently or together. A community does not need to use all of them to get value from AquaVaults. Most start with the swapper and build from there.
Trust and Control
AquaVaults does not require users to trust the platform with their funds. The model is built around user-controlled wallets and transparent on-chain execution.
Your Wallet, Your Signature
Every swap requires your direct approval in your own wallet. AquaVaults generates the transaction and presents it to you — you decide whether to sign it.
No Deposits, No Custody
Standard swap usage does not involve depositing funds into AquaVaults. There are no AquaVaults smart contracts holding user assets between transactions.
Established Routing Infrastructure
AquaVaults is built on top of established Solana infrastructure while adding its own community selection, participation, and fee-routing systems around the user experience.
The Bigger Picture
AquaVaults is evolving into a broader community activity and revenue layer built around on-chain participation.
The tools being built — the swapper, AutoSwap, the Swap Widget, limit orders, the EVM Swapper, the Co-op Mining Rig — are all pieces of a broader community activity layer. Each one gives communities and users another way to stay active, generate value, and coordinate behavior on-chain.
The underlying idea is the same across all of them: activity that already exists should benefit the communities that created it. AquaVaults is the infrastructure that makes that possible.
