Kabon is an AI treasury copilot that helps users discover, evaluate, and allocate capital across fragmented DeFi and tokenized asset opportunities on Arbitrum.
Kabon is an AI treasury copilot for Arbitrum that helps users discover, evaluate, and allocate capital across fragmented DeFi and tokenized asset opportunities. By combining portfolio analysis, protocol intelligence, risk assessment, and policy-controlled execution, Kabon transforms scattered investment options into clear, actionable decisions.
Under the hood, users deposit supported assets into ERC-4626 vaults, receive vault shares representing their positions, and access AI-guided recommendations for allocation, risk management, and withdrawals. Approved strategy adapters allow vaults to deploy liquidity into whitelisted protocols while maintaining clear controls over execution and liquidity.
Kabon is built around one vault per supported asset:
Users deposit a supported asset into a vault.
The vault mints ERC-4626 shares to represent the user’s position.
Approved vault operators can allocate idle liquidity into whitelisted strategy adapters.
Users withdraw by redeeming shares for underlying assets.
If idle liquidity is insufficient, the vault recalls liquidity from strategies through a configured withdrawal queue.
This keeps execution vault-mediated rather than requiring users to enter and exit each protocol individually. Kabon recommends and explains compliant allocation routes, while approved vault flows and whitelisted adapters handle protocol-specific execution.
Kabon uses AI as a treasury copilot rather than an autonomous custodian. The AI layer helps users evaluate vault allocation routes by combining live protocol data, user portfolio context, risk preferences, liquidity conditions, and vault policy constraints.
For example: a user deposits USDC → Kabon surfaces available routes like Aave V3, shows APY, flags liquidity depth, and explains the recommended allocation in plain language.
The AI experience is action-oriented, not conversational. Users click Analyze on any deposit-ready asset and Kabon runs a structured agent plan: reading wallet and vault state, applying the selected policy (Conservative, Balanced, or Yield), checking approved routes, and surfacing a recommendation with APY, next action, and asset decisions all without moving funds.
AI recommendations are advisory. They do not bypass vault controls, independently move user funds, or execute outside the approved contract and adapter model.
Kabon currently includes Robinhood Chain testnet support as an expansion path for tokenized asset and RWA workflows. The future integration extends Kabon’s policy engine beyond DeFi yield into tokenized real-world assets, allowing users to view RWA balances, understand exposure, compare liquidity and risk, and receive AI-guided portfolio recommendations across DeFi routes and tokenized assets. Execution would remain constrained by supported assets, configured vaults, and whitelisted adapters.
<p>During the hackathon, Kabon went from just a concept to a fully functional deposit-to-yield flow on Arbitrum Sepolia including a live ERC-4626 vault, a USDC Aave V3 strategy adapter, a Next.js
