Internal Ledger (non ERC-4626 vaults)

Comparison: Internal Ledger vs. ERC-4626 Shares

  • Internal ledger + index

    • Pros: No share token management; direct per-address accounting; precise fee/index math; simple withdrawals.

    • Cons: No composability with ERC-4626-native tools; more custom index logic.

  • ERC-4626 shares (not used)

    • Pros: Broad tooling support; fungible share token semantics.

    • Cons: Extra token plumbing; edge-case rounding around PPS; claim semantics differ from index-based crediting.

Hypervault opts for an index-based ledger for tight control of accrual and immutable simplicity.
