When should I deploy a Vault IAM?

• For streaming rewards: If you want to “stream” incentives, prorated among depositors

• For ERC-4626 actions: If you currently use ERC-4626 Vaults or can easily configure your system.

When should I deploy a Recipe IAM?

• For lump sum rewards: If you want to pay a lump sum, , paid as per the market’s reward style.

• For actions that are not ERC-4626 actions: If the action I wish to incentivize cannot be represented as an ERC-4626 Vault

• For actions with timelocks: If you wish for depositors to timelock their position/assets

For IP conditional offers: If you wish to counter-offer for incentives as an IP.
