DEPTH Protocol is a yield-generation system on Abstract built around non-transferable soulbound vaults. Users descend through ten ocean-depth tiers — Shallows to Mariana — to unlock progressively higher daily DEPTH emissions.

What is DEPTH Protocol

DEPTH Protocol lets any Abstract Global Wallet holder mint a free soulbound vault. Because vaults are non-transferable, they cannot be bought or sold; every position is earned by the wallet that created it. The protocol launched with no presale and no team allocation — all emissions originate from vault activity.

How It Works

Qualifying wallets mint a vault at no cost, then harvest daily DEPTH emissions determined by their current tier and emission speed. Advancing to a deeper tier requires sacrificing DEPTH tokens: 80% of each sacrifice is permanently burned, providing a continuous deflationary pressure. A 5% transfer tax (2% burned, 2% locked, 1% to treasury) compounds the supply reduction on every token movement.

Token & Incentives

The DEPTH token is the sole reward and advancement currency in the system. Tier multipliers scale from 1× at the Shallows to 4× at the Mariana level, creating a sustained incentive to compound earnings deeper into the vault hierarchy rather than exit early.

Ecosystem

DEPTH Protocol is built by the same team behind BLUE Protocol (gblue_xyz), an auto-rebasing token on Abstract, and operates under the gBLUE ecosystem umbrella.
