# Storage Pools
|
|
|
|
OpenYield has three Storage Pools (REQ-014). Each is a layer of custody
|
|
responsibility, and none of them is a custodial position — the protocol holds
|
|
the canonical state that records who owns what; the Holder, the Stand, and
|
|
the mesh treasury each hold their own pool.
|
|
|
|
| Pool | Level | Held by | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| **Stash** | Holder | a single Holder | the personal storage pool; the unit of self-service |
|
|
| **Vault** | Stand | a Stand (a governed group) | the Stand-level pool; the unit of shared ownership |
|
|
| **Root-Pool** | Mesh | the mesh treasury | the canonical treasury; the unit of the public good |
|
|
|
|
## The Stash
|
|
|
|
The Stash is the Holder-level storage pool. A Holder needs only a Reach (an
|
|
identity) and a Stash to begin. The Stash is the unit of self-service: the
|
|
Holder owns it, controls it, and can delegate a scoped, time-limited,
|
|
revocable Window to a partner or a service without giving up custody. See
|
|
[Watchers & Mirror](watchers-mirror.md) for the attestation layer that
|
|
records Stash state.
|
|
|
|
## The Vault
|
|
|
|
The Vault is the Stand-level storage pool. A Stand is a governed group
|
|
(one of the nine Stand types: Household, Crew, Entity, Co-op, Circle,
|
|
Trust, Foundation, Confederation, Shadow) that holds a Vault in common. The
|
|
Stand's decision policy (threshold or weighted, mirroring the Cosmos SDK
|
|
`x/group` shape) governs how the Vault is used. See the Freeholders section
|
|
for Stands & Guilds.
|
|
|
|
## The Root-Pool
|
|
|
|
The Root-Pool is the mesh treasury. It holds the canonical state of the
|
|
Bread unit, the Watcher bonds, and the Root Basket. The Root-Pool is the
|
|
unit of the public good: the Watchers attest to its state daily, and the
|
|
Mirror mirrors it to the bearers so a Holder can verify the mesh's real
|
|
return without trusting a single custodian.
|
|
|
|
## Custody, not custody
|
|
|
|
The three pools are storage layers, not custodial positions. The protocol
|
|
does not custody user value; it holds the canonical state that records who
|
|
owns what. A Holder's Stash is theirs; a Stand's Vault is the Stand's; the
|
|
Root-Pool is the mesh's. The Window primitive lets a Holder delegate a
|
|
capability without delegating custody. See the [Lexicon](lexicon.md) for
|
|
why the docs say "Stash", "Vault", and "Root-Pool" rather than the words a
|
|
legacy financial institution would use. |
