Alpha USDC Core V2
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.
You deposit USDC and the vault lends it out to borrowers who post fixed-yield tokens and stablecoin derivatives as collateral—things like Pendle PT (fixed-yield tokens maturing in June 2026) and savUSD (a stablecoin wrapper). The interest rate you earn floats with borrowing demand; the vault is currently fully deployed with no idle cash.
AlphaPing runs this vault with a tight focus on stablecoin collateral across synthetic and derivative markets, keeping complexity and risk scores both in the lower third.
The 6.78% APY comes from borrowing demand against five stablecoin-backed markets, with the heaviest concentration (52%) in PT-apxUSD, where utilization sits at 86%—meaning most of the lent capital is actively borrowed.
The main risk is concentration: over half the vault's USDC backs a single fixed-yield token (PT-apxUSD-18JUN2026) that matures in mid-2026, and four of the five markets are running at or near full utilization (86–93%), leaving little room for rate absorption if demand drops. All collateral is stablecoin-based, but that stablecoin risk (depeg) shows a healthy signal.
Good fit for an allocator seeking steady 6–7% yield on USDC with below-average DeFi complexity if you're comfortable with June 2026 maturity concentration and tight utilization margins.
How the composite risk score breaks down. Every number traces to an explicit input — /methodology documents each factor's formula.
Alpha USDC Core is a conservative mandate-driven on-chain credit vault denominated in USDC. It provides isolated exposure to short-duration over-collateralized strategies with explicit risk constraints transparent positions and deterministic exit paths designed for capital preservation auditability and controlled institutional access.
Morpho V2 vault — wraps downstream Morpho markets and V1 vaults via adapters.
Some V2 adapters point at Morpho Blue markets directly; their underlying market detail isn't resolvable in the universe-level fetch, so this vault carries a V2 opacity surcharge in the risk model.

Every market the vault has supplied into, with current LTV, LLTV, oracle, and IRM. Idle balances are listed explicitly.

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).
V2 vaults route through adapters into downstream venues. A misbehaving adapter (paused, drained, or pointing at a compromised target) can lock or mismark a portion of the vault until governance acts.
Vault has $12M idle buffer (100% of $12M TVL). $38M of the $50M request queues; the redeemer takes a ~0.50% forced-exit discount weighted across collateral mix plus 0-day TVM cost. $38M of the request exceeds the vault's $12M TVL and cannot be redeemed at all.
