# What is Aspis

#### **a) Vault Infrastructure With Security Focus**

* **Non-Custodial Fund Vaults**: Aspis offers secure smart contracts—called “vaults”—where **investors pool their funds**. Managers, or AI agents, can trade the assets only within **predefined on-chain rules**.
* **Safeguards**: Built-in measures like **slippage checks**, **MEV protections**, **delegated call systems**, and on-chain parameters to limit risk.
* **Core Problem Solved**: Eliminates the **trust gap** that often exists when pooling assets under a single wallet or multi-sig. With Aspis, **no single entity** can run off with the funds or place trades that violate set boundaries.

#### **b) Interaction Abstraction (AIDAO Framework + Interface Abstractions)**

* **AIDAO Framework**: A specialized toolkit for **plugging AI-driven agents** into vaults. These agents interpret market conditions, adapt strategies, and **execute trades autonomously**, all while honoring on-chain restrictions.
* **Interface Abstraction**: Aspis drastically simplifies user interactions with chat-style commands (e.g., “Deploy 10k to target 20% yield at max 5% downside.”).
* **Core Problem Solved**: DeFi is notoriously complex. By letting people **talk** to the vault and specify goals, Aspis lowers the barrier for non-technical users, effectively bridging the gap between novices and sophisticated DeFi tools.

*In short: Aspis addresses two major pain points—secure and transparent vault infrastructure to protect pooled assets, and an AI-driven interface that eliminates the friction and complexity of decentralized finance.*
