Alvara Protocol

What Alvara Protocol does

Alvara Protocol is a decentralized asset management platform built on the ERC-7621 Basket Token Standard, an Ethereum Improvement Proposal authored and submitted by the Alvara team. The protocol enables any user with a Web3 wallet to compose, deploy, and manage tokenized investment baskets (BSKTs) containing weighted allocations of ERC-20 tokens with a minimum seed capital of 0.1 ETH and no KYC. Each BSKT is an ERC-721-based token holding multiple underlying assets, while investors receive ERC-20 LP shares tradeable on any decentralized exchange. The protocol operates live on Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Avalanche, with planned launches on Solana (Q2 2026) and Tron (Q3 2026).

The product surface includes BSKT Lab (a three-step no-code basket creation interface), a public Manager Leaderboard ranked by AUM and track record, Xerberus-powered AAA-to-D risk ratings calculated from onchain data, real-time candlestick analytics with 13 technical indicators, and an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that allows AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor to read protocol data and prepare non-custodial basket transactions. The native ALVA token has a fixed 200M max supply; locking ALVA produces non-transferable veALVA used in weekly gauge-weight voting that directs 44% of ALVA supply (distributed over 31 years) to incentivize specific BSKTs. Including 5% or more ALVA in a BSKT unlocks reduced platform fees, generating a deflationary buy-pressure mechanism.

Monetization rests on three layers: per-basket management fees set by individual managers (1–3% annually recommended, applied via LP dilution), platform creation and protocol fees, and ALVA token utility and liquidity activity. The go-to-market is fully product-led and community-led — distributed via the Alvara dApp, Uniswap, cross-chain bridges (Squidrouter/Axelar), and AI agents via MCP. Target customers include crypto-native analysts and retail DeFi traders seeking to monetize investment theses, DAO treasuries seeking diversified onchain exposure, and DeFi protocols seeking composable financial products. The company is privately held, headquartered in London, UK, operates with a 1–10 person team, and is backed by Nimbus Capital ($10M, October 2024), GDA International, Alpha Transform Holdings, and Spirit Blockchain.

Revenue model

1. Management Fees on BSKTs: BSKT managers set an annual management fee percentage encoded in the smart contract at deployment. Fees are fixed at creation (cannot be changed retroactively) and accrue continuously based on the basket's TVL. The fee is paid through LP dilution rather than direct deductions. This is the primary revenue stream for basket managers and the core economic incentive for the platform.
2. ALVA Token Utility & Deflationary Mechanism: ALVA (200M max supply, $0.30 listing price) generates protocol value through: (1) governance — veALVA holders vote on gauge weights and proposals; (2) fee reduction — including 5%+ ALVA in a BSKT unlocks reduced platform fees, creating sustained buy pressure; (3) staking rewards — 44% of ALVA supply allocated to BSKT incentives over 31 years. The fixed cap, forever-lock burning, and BSKT allocation locks create deflationary pressure.
3. BSKT Creation Fee: A creation fee (percentage of the initial deposit defined by the protocol) applies when deploying a new BSKT. On Ethereum, BSKTs also require a minimum ALVA allocation, creating organic demand for the ALVA token. Platform fees support protocol operations and development.
4. DEX/CEX Liquidity Provision: 5% of ALVA supply is allocated for DEX/CEX liquidity. ALVA is tradeable on Uniswap (Ethereum), with bridges to Base and Avalanche. This provides secondary revenue/utility through trading activity and market making.

Core offering

Alvara Protocol is a decentralized application that enables anyone to create, manage, and trade tokenized multi-asset investment baskets (BSKTs) on Ethereum and Base via its ERC-7621 Basket Token Standard. Fund managers compose weighted portfolios of ERC-20 tokens, deploy BSKTs with a 0.1 ETH minimum seed, and earn ongoing management fees; investors receive ERC-20 LP shares they can trade on any DEX. The platform layers on 1inch liquidity aggregation, Xerberus on-chain risk ratings, MEV protection, gauge-weight DAO governance via veALVA, and an MCP Server for AI-agent-driven portfolio operations.

Product overview

Alvara Protocol is a decentralized asset management platform built on Ethereum and Base, featuring the ERC-7621 Basket Token Standard. The core product ecosystem includes BSKT Lab (basket creation interface), BSKT (tokenized investment portfolios holding multiple ERC-20 tokens with LP share representation), the ALVA token (200M fixed supply governance and utility token), veALVA (vote-escrowed governance), and the Alvara DAO (gauge weight voting governance). Platform features include a Manager Leaderboard, Xerberus Risk Ratings, and Gauge Weight Voting. The Alvara MCP Server enables AI assistant integration for basket management. Users can create baskets with minimum 0.1 ETH seed capital, earn management fees, and trade LP shares on any DEX.

Functional benefit

Brands

• BSKT (Basket Token): The core product: tokenized investment portfolios built on the ERC-7621 standard. Each BSKT holds a collection of ERC-20 tokens in defined proportions, with ERC-20 LP shares representing investor ownership.

Products and services

• BSKT (Basket Token) Tokenized, onchain investment portfolios built on the ERC-7621 Basket Token Standard. Each BSKT holds multiple ERC-20 assets at manager-defined weights; investors receive fungible ERC-20 LP shares they can trade on any DEX, while the manager holds a transferable ERC-721 management NFT. Meant for crypto-native users, DAOs, and DeFi protocols seeking diversified, transparent, always-redeemable onchain exposure.
• BSKT Lab (Basket Factory dApp) Web-based no-code interface for composing BSKTs. Users pick ERC-20 tokens and weights (or start from a starter template), set name/ticker/logo and a strategy description, fund the seed capital (≥0.1 ETH plus Ethereum gas), and deploy the BSKT in a single onchain transaction. Targets fund managers, analysts, and DAO builders.
• ALVA Token Native ERC-20 utility and governance token of the Alvara Protocol (200M fixed max supply). Used for governance (locking to mint veALVA and voting on DAO proposals and gauge weights), accessing reduced platform fees (≥5% ALVA weighting in a BSKT unlocks lower fees, creating sustained buy pressure and a deflationary mechanism), and staking rewards.
• veALVA (Vote-Escrowed ALVA) Non-transferable governance position received when a holder locks ALVA for 1 week to 48 months (or forever). Used to submit and vote on DAO governance proposals and to direct ALVA reward emissions to specific BSKTs via weekly gauge-weight voting, qualifying holders for staking reward streams.
• Alvara DAO Decentralized governance system where veALVA holders vote on Snapshot every epoch (approximately weekly) to direct ALVA reward emissions across BSKTs and to approve protocol proposals. The DAO controls 44% of ALVA supply (88M tokens) distributed as weekly BSKT LP incentives over a 31-year horizon, with proposals open to any user holding 3,000+ veALVA.
• Alvara MCP Server Open-source Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Continue) read Alvara data and prepare basket transactions for basket discovery, rebalancing, deposits, redemptions, and safety checks. Non-custodial: returns unsigned transaction data that the user signs and submits from their own wallet. Sold/distributed as a free, self-hostable developer tool.

Quantifiable outcome

• Minimum seed capital of 0.1 ETH (~$200–400 depending on ETH price) vs. $50,000–$100,000+ for traditional fund formation
