# Introduction

Venzo is the structured product layer for onchain finance, where users access Curated Vaults and Onchain Token Portfolios in one app.

## Welcome to Venzo

Venzo is the structured product layer for onchain finance. It turns onchain assets and investment strategies into structured products that anyone with an eligible wallet can access, subscribe to, follow and exit in one app. Issuers launch those products through reusable infrastructure, and managers operate them from issuance through redemption.

As of October 2026, Venzo offers two product families for different investment goals. **Curated Vaults** give access to institutional yield strategies, each run by a named curator inside a mandate that the contracts enforce. **Onchain Token Portfolios (OTPs)** let users own and mimic a whole portfolio of tokenized equities in one click.

The app runs at [app.venzofinance.com](https://app.venzofinance.com). Every product is listed in one marketplace across networks, and every subscription is a transaction that the participant signs from a self-custodied wallet.

## The problem Venzo solves

Packaged investing has always been gated. Institutional strategies such as market-neutral trading, private credit and cross-exchange arbitrage sit behind private mandates, high minimums and manual onboarding. Index and portfolio products need a brokerage account in a supported country and close outside market hours.

Onchain, the assets already exist: stablecoins settle around the clock, and tokenized equities and real-world assets trade on public networks. The missing layer is the product itself. Every issuer that tries to package a strategy onchain rebuilds the same machinery for valuation, risk limits, subscriptions and redemptions.

Venzo closes that gap. Curators and issuers define the strategy or the methodology, and the Issuance & Operation Layer built by City Protocol supplies the issuance and operating machinery underneath. Users reach every product from one wallet, in one app.

## What is live

As of October 2026:

* **Curated Vaults:** Five Curated Vaults are live and accepting deposits, covering market-neutral DeFi strategies, a credit strategy, private credit, lending and cross-exchange arbitrage. New vaults join as curators are onboarded.
* **Onchain Token Portfolios:** Index OTPs and Guru OTPs are live on BNB Chain, Base and Arbitrum. The first Guru OTP, the Pelosi Portfolio+, went live in September 2026. Thematic OTPs arrive with the next phase.
* **Transparency:** Venzo shows each product's current rate, TVL and performance. An independent proof-of-solvency dashboard verifies Curated Vault reserves, and live vault data is published at [dune.com/cityprotocol/venzo-vaults](https://dune.com/cityprotocol/venzo-vaults).

The full lineup is in the [Live Product Showcase](/venzofinance-docs/access.-issue.-operate./structured-products/live-product-showcase.md).

## Who runs Venzo

Venzo is operated by Cooking City Limited, and its products run on City Protocol's infrastructure. Each Curated Vault is run by its named curator, who is responsible for the vault's mandate, disclosures and compliance.
