Where strategies are paper-traded into existence.
Creators are typically DAO members. Strategies run on real market data with virtual capital. On graduation, the strategy spawns a Layer 1 vault — 10 % of carry routes to the DAO treasury for the life of the vault. The remaining 90 % accrues to the creator.
