What is an Allocator?

Allocators are permissioned fund managers and distribution partners of the ORBT protocol. They:

• Bring liquidity (their own treasury, partner capital, or user funnels) into Orbt’s Unified Collateral Engine (UCE).

• Manage custody of underlying stablecoins via pockets (EOA, multisig, or strategy vaults) and keep allowances open so UCE can pull funds to settle user redemptions.

• Run conservative yield strategies on pocket balances (e.g., Aave money markets) so idle inventory earns carry without compromising settlement readiness.

• Issue inventory: each allocator receives a credit line to mint 0xAssets and warehouse that minted supply as reserved inventory (reservedZeroX) for settlement and distribution.

Allocators are the commercial surface of the protocol: they make primary markets in 0xAssets, monetize order flow, and convert yield + spread into business revenue while absorbing the operational risk of custody and liquidity provision.
