# TAU Team & Partners
TAU Labs is composed of researchers, quants and data scientists specializing in DeFi since 2020.
TAU Labs has architected 10+ protocols via its advisory arm, focusing on economic design, financial modeling, and stress testing.
In April 2025, TAU Labs expanded its expertise in protocols and risk modeling to vault curation, reaching $100m+ TVL in 2026.
TAU designs and develops its vault strategies fully in-house, including:
* Identifying and parameterizing the strategy
* Designing and managing strategy automation
* Running custom data clusters for our proprietary bots
***
TAU Vaults run on IPOR Fusion’s vault infrastructure.
IPOR Fusion is an institutional-grade asset management infrastructure for automated execution. It is an unopinionated and customizable framework that asset managers can use to deploy assets onchain while implementing custom algorithms offchain. Fusion provides a single entry point for integration, coordination, monitoring, execution, and accounting of sophisticated DeFi strategies.
IPOR Fusion launched in September 2024 and has since reached an AUM of $300m+. Every integration of DeFi protocols goes through multiple levels of testing to ensure the highest level of security.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://tau-labs.gitbook.io/vault-dashboard/tau-vaults/tau-team-and-partners.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
