Worse than a plain vault

46% of this vault sits in higher-risk collateral, yet it earns 2.99% on USDC versus 4.3% for a plain USDC vault (-131 bps). You're not being paid for the extra risk.

What this vault actually does

The Gauntlet USDC Vault will list a selection of liquid collateral markets and allocate across them to optimize risk-adjusted yield. The Vaults risk strategy will follow the CORE framework where Gauntlet curates deposits to balance security and yield to provide a moderate risk profile and competitive APY for USDC suppliers

What breaks this vault

The honest version. Every structural failure mode this vault is exposed to, ranked by severity. If you want to know whether to invest, start here.

Weighted LLTV across markets is 88.4%. Sharp collateral drawdowns can trigger cascading liquidations faster than vault parameters can be adjusted.

Primary loan or collateral asset is a stablecoin. A sustained depeg below 99 cents impacts NAV and disables liquidation routing for non-USD collateral.
