Api3 dCOMP USDC
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 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.
Api3 runs this vault with a tight focus on dCOMP borrowing, holding 93% of the book there at a 63% loan-to-value threshold.
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.
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.
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.
How the composite risk score breaks down. Every number traces to an explicit input — /methodology documents each factor's formula.
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.
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.
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.
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 $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.
