Policies

Onchain permissions that constrain what a fund can do with its assets.

Policies define the set of onchain permissions that govern how a fund may operate. They are enforced through the Zodiac Roles Modifier, which acts as a programmable permission layer in front of each fund's Portfolio Safe.

Because the Portfolio Safe's only owner is the Empty contract, no key can move the fund's assets directly — every transaction must pass through the Exec Roles Modifier (and, for automated flows, the nested Sub Roles Modifier). See Roles and operators for the full stack.

Policies specify which actions can be executed on behalf of the fund — for example interacting with a specific DeFi protocol, managing a liquidity position, or initiating an approved bridging transaction — down to the target address, function selector, and parameter level. Any operation that falls outside the authorized policies is blocked at the contract level.

This framework lets day-to-day portfolio management run smoothly while keeping the fund strictly confined to its risk profile and predefined execution rules. Each fund's current configuration is available in the dashboard's Policy view and summarized on its Policies and addresses page.
