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 supply USDC (stablecoin) to the vault, which lends it out entirely to borrowers posting cbBTC (Bitcoin on Base) as collateral. Avantgarde sets the interest rate, and borrowers pay that rate to access the USDC; depositors earn the spread.
Who runs it
Avantgarde runs a single-collateral book focused on cbBTC lending at high utilization (90%), with an 86% loan-to-value threshold.
Where the yield comes from
The 3.89% APY comes from borrowing demand against cbBTC collateral. The vault deploys 100% of deposits—no idle cash buffer—so all yield is from active lending.
What could break it
Concentration in cbBTC means losses if that token breaks its peg or suffers a sharp price drop. At 86% LLTV and 90% utilization, there is minimal margin for error if cbBTC volatility spikes or liquidity dries up.
Who this is for
Good fit for an allocator comfortable with single-collateral Bitcoin exposure and willing to accept elevated concentration risk for a modest stablecoin yield; avoid if cbBTC tail risk or lack of diversification concerns you.
USDC is trading within normal range. Both market spot and Chainlink agree this vault's loan asset is on peg — no peg risk affecting NAV right now.

Util curve position, share locked above 95%, idle buffer.
Maturityweight 10%

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 Avantgarde USDC Conservative vault aims to allocate to the most liquid USDC markets across the highest quality collateral on Base.
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
What this vault is actually exposed to — including dependencies that are not visible from the strategy name.
USDC
100%
StablecoinLoan asset supplied by the vault.
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 adapter routing failure

computedV2 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.

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