[RESEARCH] ERC4626 support & customization

[maxnorm]

Question for research

Should Compose Support an ERC-4626 Implementation?

Before deciding whether to include an ERC-4626 implementation in Compose, we would like to conduct research on how ERC-4626 is actually used and extended in projects.

Research Question

How is ERC-4626 customized in the wild?

Specifically:

• How do real-world projects extend ERC-4626 implementations?
• Do most vaults override core functions?
• Are teams typically inheriting from OpenZeppelin’s implementation or other contract lib?
• Is there meaningful value in providing a reusable facet version inside Compose?

Context

The development is currently blocked for ERC4626 (See related Issue & PR)

The hesitation to include ERC-4626 in Compose is based on the following concerns:

• Many/most vaults will have custom versions of these standard functions, and so will not use provided version by Compose facets.
• This vault standard add some complexity with the muldiv function (that can be delayed if we don't include ERC-4626)

This research will be used to make a more inform decision on the addition or not of ERC-4626 (and all other standards based on it like ERC-7540)

Heyyy @jhuhnke, of course, take the time you need for this! Thanks for the help.

I don't have a format expectation. You can either add a big comment in the issue directly or create a doc somewhere we can read it

Sounds great! I'll share a working doc in the next week and create a "big" comment when done for visibility as well.

Hi @jhuhnke @maxnorm
I can help out too with this. I have experience building a vault that's on mainnet. Happy to help with anything

Of course! @aapsi

Please share any insights you have.
