What this vault actually does

The Gauntlet USDC Prime vault aims to optimize for risk-adjusted yield across large market cap and high liquidity collateral markets.

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.

Cap-weighted utilization is 90.3%, leaving little idle buffer. Large same-day redemptions may queue behind active loan repayments.

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

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
computed

Tail-case: a vulnerability surfaces in Morpho Blue that affects the vault's largest single market (94% of TVL). Modeled at 50% loss on that exposure; full vault is not assumed at risk since markets are isolated.

−50% × 94% (largest market) × 100% pass-through
-46.9%
Recovery patch + governance
94% exposed
Curator misallocation
unlikely
computed

Curator routes into a market that develops bad debt or an oracle break. Worst single position is 93.9% of TVL; top-3 concentration is 100%. Modeled at 50% bad-debt recovery on the worst position.

Recovery 30–90 days

USDC depeg
unlikely
computed

March 2023 SVB episode: USDC traded as low as $0.88 before banking exposure was clarified. Mark-to-market loss on 100% of vault TVL (the loan asset is USDC).

Redemption queue under stress

computed

100% of TVL is in markets running >85% utilization. Redemption requests on that slice queue until borrowers repay; remaining LPs absorb a small forced-exit discount.
