ERC-4626

The Ethereum tokenized-vault standard. EIP-4626 defines a uniform interface for any vault that wraps a single ERC-20 underlying asset, so wallets, aggregators, and downstream contracts can integrate any compliant vault without bespoke adapters.

totalAssets()Total underlying held by the vault, including any deployed strategy positions.
deposit(assets, receiver)Sends underlying in, mints share token out.
redeem(shares, receiver, owner)Burns shares, returns the corresponding share of underlying.
convertToShares / convertToAssetsPer-share exchange-rate functions.
previewDeposit / previewRedeemRound-trip estimates without simulating a full transaction.
