Vault infrastructure is fast becoming the backbone of decentralized wealth management, and Superform is leading that evolution. In a new update, the company announced that vault standards under the ERC-4626 → 7540 → 7575 framework have now surpassed $15 billion in total value locked (TVL), underscoring how onchain vaults are transforming the structure of digital finance.
Superform, working alongside the Tokenized Vault Foundation, is helping to define how capital efficiency and composability work across DeFi protocols. The ERC vault series standardizes yield-bearing assets, making it easier for protocols and developers to build interoperable financial tools that can securely manage, bundle, and tokenize returns.
According to Superform’s chart, vault TVL has surged from near-zero in early 2023 to over $18 billion by mid-2025, marking one of the most consistent growth curves in decentralized finance. This expansion reflects rising institutional interest in tokenized yield strategies and the integration of vaults into Layer 2 ecosystems and restaking protocols.
“Vaults are the operating system of onchain wealth,” the company said in its post. As DeFi continues to evolve toward structured, revenue-generating assets, vault standards like ERC-4626 are increasingly viewed as the infrastructure layer for tokenized capital markets.
With the upcoming ERC-7575 upgrade set to improve modularity and risk management, analysts see vault-based systems playing a central role in the next wave of DeFi adoption — where composable standards may replace fragmented yield platforms with unified, automated financial rails.
