what's GLAM?

GLAM is a programmable investment infrastructure protocol built on Solana, designed for institutional asset managers to launch and operate tokenized investment products. It provides composable primitives such as vaults and mints, enabling the creation of programmable vaults with embedded access controls, enforceable onchain policies, and seamless integrations with DeFi protocols like Drift and Kamino. These vaults support granular permissions, automated workflows, and transparent execution, allowing managers to structure strategies across staking, lending, trading, and liquidity provision while maintaining compliance and risk management. Mints transform funds and financial assets into tokenized instruments using Solana's Token-2022 standard with extensions, embedding metadata, restrictions, and redemption terms directly into the tokens. Developers benefit from modular architecture, SDKs in TypeScript and Java, CLI tools, and APIs for building custom solutions. The protocol facilitates delegated accounts, scoped execution, and policy enforcement to bridge traditional asset management with onchain capital markets.
