Plain English explanationWritten by Sharpe Finance research · model card · last update 2026-05-12
What this vault actually does

Arbitrum-native USDC vault with conservative LLTVs and quantitatively-managed exposure to bridged blue-chip collateral.

Where the yield comes from

Arbitrum has growing institutional borrow demand and a deeper DEX layer than most L2s, allowing for tight liquidation guarantees on bridged collateral.

Why the APY exists

Arbitrum borrowers pay a small premium over L1 to access leveraged blue-chip strategies without bridging. Curator optimization captures the spread.

Why institutions may trust it

Gauntlet's quantitative framework is consistent across chains; Arbitrum vault inherits the same model and risk dashboard as the L1 prime vault.

Why they may not

Bridged collateral is Wormhole or canonical bridge-issued; any future bridge issue would create discount risk on the underlying collateral.

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.

Canonical bridge issue or sequencer halt would freeze redemptions.

Standard LST depeg risk.
