Plain English explanationWritten by vaults.xyz research · model card · last update 2026-05-12
What this vault actually does
The Steakhouse USDT vault aims to optimize yields by lending USDT against blue chip crypto and real world asset (RWA) collateral markets, depending on market conditions. We call this the “dual engine.”

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.
Primary loan or collateral asset is a stablecoin. A sustained depeg below 99 cents impacts NAV and disables liquidation routing for non-USD collateral.
Vault is split across 9 markets. More markets means more parameter surface area for the curator to monitor.

Reading this map. Direct exposures are the assets the vault holds or lends against. Indirect dependencies (Tab 3) include the protocols that mint those assets, the oracles pricing them, and the bridges that move them. An incident at any indirect dependency can damage the vault even when the direct collateral looks healthy.

Stress scenarios
Modeled NAV impact under historical and hypothetical tail events. Each impact = − (shock magnitude) × (vault exposure) × (pass-through). Hover the calculator icon for the per-scenario formula.
Morpho Blue contract vulnerability
rare
computedTail-case: a vulnerability surfaces in Morpho Blue that affects the vault's largest single market (78% of TVL). Modeled at 50% loss on that exposure; full vault is not assumed at risk since markets are isolated.

Curator misallocation
unlikely
computedCurator routes into a market that develops bad debt or an oracle break. Worst single position is 77.7% of TVL; top-3 concentration is 96%. Modeled at 50% bad-debt recovery on the worst position.

USDT reserve / depeg
possible
computedTether has repeatedly traded <$0.95 (Oct 2018, May 2022). Recovery is slower than USDC. Mark-to-market loss on 100% of vault TVL (the loan asset is USDT).
