Governance

Vault administration (partner)

Vaults are managed by partners using several key admin roles:

• SYS_ADMIN: wallet responsible for contract administration and other role attribution

• FEE_MANAGER: wallet responsible for changing the end user fee, the split between multiple recipients, and for claiming the commission.

• SANCTIONS_MANAGER: wallet responsible for enabling the OFAC sanctioned wallet check.

• CLAIM_MANGER: wallet responsible for claiming additional rewards from the lending protocols

• PAUSER: wallet responsible for pausing all interaction with vault contracts, managed by Kiln as a security failsafe

• UNPAUSER: waller responsible for unpausing the contract

It is recommended to have multi-sig wallets for these roles with a strong quorum security.

NOTE: You can only have 1 wallet assigned as SYS_ADMIN, but multiple wallets assigned to all other roles.

Upgradability structure (Kiln)

Kiln DeFi Vaults

Kiln DeFi vaults follow the beacon proxy pattern where all vaults fetch their implementation address from a VaultUpgradeableBeacon smart contract.

This is administered by 4 roles:

• PROXY_ADMIN: a multisig quorum between Kiln and third parties responsible for attributing the below roles

• PAUSER: a wallet responsible for pausing all interaction with vault contracts, managed by Kiln as a security failsafe

• FREEZER: a multisig quorum between Kiln and third parties responsible for freezing Vault implementation (to make it non-upgradeable)

• IMPLEMENTATION_MANAGER: a multisig quorum between Kiln and third parties responsible for upgrading Vault implementations

Kiln DeFi Connectors

Kiln DeFi Connectors also follow the beacon proxy pattern where each connector implementation address is fetched from a ConnectorRegistry contract.

This is administered by 4 roles:

• ADMIN: a multisig quorum between Kiln and third parties responsible for attributing the below roles

• PAUSER: a wallet responsible for pausing all interaction with connector contracts, managed by Kiln as a security failsafe

• FREEZER: a multisig quorum between Kiln and third parties responsible for freezing connector implementations (to make some of them non-upgradeable)

• CONNECTOR_MANAGER: a multisig quorum between Kiln and third parties responsible for upgrading connectors implementation
