Vault Curator Reputation

Curator reputation reflects consistency, scale, and commitment of capital participation. It rewards predictable behavior (pre-commitment, steady capital allocation) and penalizes early withdrawals or inactive epochs.

Every Curator begins with RMC = 1.00 upon registration. This value evolves automatically after each epoch based on off-chain computation of on-chain actions recorded through the Approver, VaultRouter, and FeeManager contracts.

Governance defines a global range of 0.50 ≤ RMC ≤ 1.50, ensuring stability and avoiding volatility in capital-routing logic.

Reputation Drivers

Parameter	Description	Measurement Basis	Weight / Impact
Pre-Commitment Ratio	Share of total capital the Curator locks in advance via the Pre-Commitment Vault.	(Pre-Committed Value ÷ Total Curator Deposits)	↑ increases RMC up to +0.10
Allocation Depth	Amount of allocated capital across active Operators relative to vault balance.	(Allocated Value ÷ Vault Balance)	↑ increases RMC up to +0.08
Allocation Persistence	Continuous capital participation across epochs without withdrawal interruptions.	Active Epochs ÷ Total Epochs	↑ increases RMC up to +0.05
Early Unallocation (Penalty)	Removing allocated capital before epoch end or cool-off completion.	Count per epoch	↓ decreases RMC −0.20 per event
Zero-Participation Epochs	Epochs with no active capital allocation.	Epoch count	↓ decreases RMC −0.05 per idle epoch

Governance Controls

Governance may:

• Adjust global RMC bounds and per-event weights.

• Approve or replace the off-chain Reputation Engine.

• Pause or override RMC updates during system-wide incidents.

• Integrate cross-protocol metrics (e.g., Symbiotic vault metadata).
