Gauntlet USDC Core
77% of this vault sits in exotic / elevated-risk collateral, yet it earns 4.39% on USDC versus 4.3% for a plain USDC vault (+10 bps). You're not being paid for the extra risk.
The USDC Core Vault will list a range of liquid collateral markets and continuously optimize risk-adjusted yield across those markets. This vault targets a higher risk level than Gauntlet's Prime Vaults.

Vault has meaningful collateral exposure to liquid restaking tokens. A discount to ETH (>2%) propagates directly through liquidation cascades.
Cap-weighted utilization is 85.9%, leaving little idle buffer. Large same-day redemptions may queue behind active loan repayments.
