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

You deposit USDC and Api3 lends it out almost entirely against dCOMP (a governance token) as collateral, with a small piece against wstETH. The interest rate borrowers pay floats with supply and demand; there's no idle cash, so all deposits are deployed.

Who runs it

Api3 runs this vault with a tight focus on dCOMP borrowing, holding 93% of the book there at a 63% loan-to-value threshold.

Where the yield comes from

The 7.05% APY comes from borrowing demand against dCOMP and wstETH collateral. Both markets are highly utilized (64% and 86% respectively), meaning tight supply-demand balance is driving the rate.

What could break it

dCOMP is a governance token with lower liquidity than major assets—a sharp price drop could force liquidations. wstETH exposure is smaller (7%) but carries restaking risk. The scoring engine flags no elevated risks, and USDC itself shows no depeg signal.

Who this is for

Good fit for stablecoin lenders comfortable with governance-token collateral exposure and wanting concentrated yield; avoid if you need diversified or stablecoin-only collateral backing.

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 dCOMP Vault lets USDC suppliers earn yield from a large COMP-holding borrower who posts dCOMP as collateral. dCOMP is a wrapper around COMP that preserves on-chain voting power allowing the borrower to access stablecoin liquidity without giving up their voice in Compound governance. Yields are elevated relative to blue-chip vaults reflecting concentrated single-borrower exposure and COMPs collateral profile. Api3 has committed significant capital of its own into the vault aligning incentives directly with other depositors.

Where the yield comes from

Morpho V2 vault — wraps downstream Morpho markets and V1 vaults via adapters.

Why they may not

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.

Hidden exposure map

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.

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 $7M idle buffer (100% of $7M TVL). $43M of the $50M request queues; the redeemer takes a ~0.50% forced-exit discount weighted across collateral mix plus 0-day TVM cost. $43M of the request exceeds the vault's $7M TVL and cannot be redeemed at all.
