Features

Everything Vektes does

Vektes is a neutral settlement primitive for final, scheduled, deduplicated payments on Ethereum — embedded by platforms, usable directly. Here's the full feature set.

Live · v1 mainnet v2 · built & tested, pending re-audit
Core

Settlement primitives

Live · in v1 & v2

The building blocks every Vektes payment is made of.

Assets

Multi-asset transfers

Native ETH, USDC, USDT and other curated ERC-20s.

Dedup

Unique codes, no doubles

Every transfer carries a per-recipient code; the contract rejects any reuse.

Speed

Instant transfers

A zero settlement date delivers in the same transaction.

Escrow

Scheduled settlement

Hold funds on-chain until a future date — Net-30, payroll, milestones — no third party.

Finality

Sender irrevocability

Once sent, a payment can't be cancelled, reversed, or redirected. No chargebacks.

Consent

Recipient rejection

The recipient can decline a pending transfer, auto-refunding the sender.

Fees

Volume-tiered, free tier

Fee tier set by monthly USD volume (Chainlink-priced); free under $10K/month.

Safety

Curated & solvent

Standard ERC-20s only; balance-delta accounting stays solvent against odd tokens.

Controls

Pausable, Safe-owned

New transfers can be paused (exits never trap funds); owned by a 2-of-3 Gnosis Safe.

Next

New in v2

Built & tested · pending re-audit

Two adoption barriers fixed — the claim-UX and the "must hold $VEK to pay a fee" friction — plus new ways to pay.

§1 · Release

Permissionless push-release

After the date, anyone can push funds to the fixed recipient — no more "forgot to claim." Batch-release many at once.

§5 · Fees

In-kind fees + buy-and-burn

The fee is taken in the asset you send (stablecoin/ETH), not $VEK. Accrued fees buy back and burn $VEK off-chain.

§7 · Utility

Free $VEK-to-$VEK

Owner-flagged assets skip the oracle and fee entirely — real in-app $VEK utility, zero oracle risk.

§4 · UX

One-signature sends

EIP-2612 permit: pay in a single signed action, no separate approval and no scary prompts.

§9 · Timing

Shorten a due date

The sender can bring a scheduled payment earlier (never later) — accelerate without breaking finality.

§10 · Links

Send by link — no address

Send to a shareable link; the recipient claims to any wallet. Front-run-safe, with sender-reclaim if a link is lost.

§11 · Airdrops

Airdrop campaigns

Fund one pool under a link; many recipients each claim a fixed amount, once per wallet. No wallets collected upfront.

Launch

Fee-free at start

v2 launches with all tiers at 0 bps; fees + buy-and-burn stay dormant until switched on. $VEK, vesting & liquidity unchanged.

Fees

How the fee works

v1 (live): the fee is charged separately in $VEK — the recipient always receives 100% of the transfer. Half is burned, half goes to the treasury.

v2: the fee is taken in the asset being transferred, so users never need to hold $VEK. Fees accrue on-chain and are swept to the treasury; $VEK is then bought back and burned — the same value accrual, without the friction. Both keep the free tier under $10K/month.

$VEK

Token & ecosystem

  • Supply Fixed 1,000,000,000 — no mint function, ever.
  • Standard ERC-20 with EIP-2612 permit; burnable.
  • Locks Team/insider tokens vested (1-yr cliff + 3-yr linear); liquidity locked 12 months.
  • Market Uniswap v3 VEK/USDT pool.
  • Audit CertiK — v1 (audit-1.1.0): 0 Critical / 0 Major. v2 frozen for re-audit.
  • Owner 2-of-3 Gnosis Safe multisig.
  • App Public dApp at app.vektes.com.
  • Platform Alaru settles gig-work payouts through Vektes.
Scope

A primitive, not a product

Vektes deliberately omits arbitration, milestones/partial payments, streaming, identity/KYC, and refunds-on-non-delivery — these need trusted parties and belong at the platform layer (Alaru provides disputes, milestones, identity and fiat rails, settling final payments through Vektes). With an untrusted counterparty, bare Vektes is finality-only.

Deferred to a later v2.x: a mandatory claim-secret (hashlock 2FA) on every transfer, and a Timelock + pause-only Guardian governance layer.
