Plain-English summary of this vault — what it does, who runs it, where the yield comes from, and what could break it. Generated from the same deterministic inputs shown elsewhere on this page; the numbers are the source, this is just the explanation.
What this vault does
Depositors put in USDT on Polygon and earn interest as borrowers pay to borrow against Polygon's native token (WPOL), Bitcoin (WBTC), and Ethereum (WETH) as collateral. The interest rate is set by supply and demand — when borrowers want leverage, the rate rises. Currently 72% of deposits sit unborrowed; only 28% are lent out.
Who runs it
Gauntlet runs this vault and manages a low-risk, stablecoin-only book on Morpho Blue.
Where the yield comes from
The 0.48% APY comes from borrowers paying 0.46% in interest on the deployed portion, plus 0.02% from Morpho incentive programs. With 72% idle, the blended yield reflects that most capital is earning nothing.
What could break it
WPOL (Polygon's native token) is the largest exposure at 18% of the vault and carries the most volatility; WBTC and WETH each show 90% utilization, meaning little un-borrowed buffer. Risk score of 6/100 reflects low complexity and no active warning flags.
Who this is for
Good fit for an allocator seeking USDT yield on Polygon with minimal operational or smart-contract risk; avoid if you need yields above 0.5% or want capital fully deployed.

Share-weighted collateral quality + LLTV buffer adequacy. Correlation-aware.
Liquidationweight 20%
Headroom (1 − LLTV) measured in σ-units of 30d realized vol, amplified by utilization.
Yield anomalyweight 20%
Peer-cohort z-score plus absolute-yield band. Excess yield is risk you may not yet model.
Concentrationweight 12%
Market HHI + asset-class HHI + curator's universe TVL share.
Liquidityweight 10%
Util curve position, share locked above 95%, idle buffer.
Maturityweight 10%
Vintage + TVL-time integral. V2 vaults carry an opacity surcharge.
Depeg floorfloor
Hard min from active depeg signal on the loan asset.
Composite = max(Σ weighted + floors). Warning and depeg floors are hard minimums; the weighted sum of the structural factors is the base. A floor highlighted in amber means it is what determines the final score — the protocol or peg signals are louder than our structural model.

What this vault actually does
The Compound USDT Vault will list a selection of liquid collateral markets and allocate across them to optimize risk-adjusted yield. The Vault's risk strategy will follow the CORE framework, where the curator balances security and yield to provide a moderate risk profile and competitive APY for USDT 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.
Every market relies on an external price feed. A stale or manipulated feed can mis-price collateral and produce unrecoverable bad debt.

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.

Morpho contract vulnerability

computedTail-case: a vulnerability surfaces in Morpho Blue that affects the vault's largest single market (18% of TVL). Modeled at 50% loss on that exposure; full vault is not assumed at risk since markets are isolated.

computedVault has $0M idle buffer (75% of $0M TVL). $50M of the $50M request queues; the redeemer takes a ~0.50% forced-exit discount weighted across collateral mix plus 3-day TVM cost. $50M of the request exceeds the vault's $0M TVL and cannot be redeemed at all.
