Clearstar USDC Core
- Unrecognized Collateral AssetYELLOWn-st-liUSD4w / USDC
Morpho has flagged the n-st-liUSD4w / USDC market: unrecognized_collateral_asset. Inherited from the V2 → V1 adapter route into Clearstar USDC Reactor.
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.
Depositors put USDC into this vault, which lends it entirely to borrowers who pledge stablecoins and Bitcoin as collateral. The vault operates on Morpho Blue, where interest rates are set by supply and demand—borrowers pay what lenders will accept, with no protocol intermediary setting yields artificially.
Clearstar runs this vault as a stablecoin-focused lender, concentrating 125% of assets in sUSN collateral (meaning the vault levers slightly by borrowing against its own sUSN holdings).
The 6.69% APY comes from borrowing demand against stablecoins (sUSN, srRoyUSDC, n-st-liUSD4w) and Bitcoin (cbBTC), with minimal idle cash—all deployed capital is earning. No separate incentive programs are listed.
The vault's main exposure is sUSN (125% allocation), a less-common stablecoin whose depeg behavior is unproven; Morpho has flagged sUSN as unrecognized collateral. Secondary risk is srRoyUSDC (28%), another non-standard stablecoin. If either depeg or lose liquidity, the collateral backing these loans weakens sharply.
Suitable only for allocators comfortable holding unfamiliar stablecoin exposure and accepting the yellow-flag warning on sUSN. Avoid if you require collateral to be major, battle-tested assets.
How the composite risk score breaks down. Every number traces to an explicit input — /methodology documents each factor's formula.
The Clearstar USDC CORE vault dynamically allocates capital between the Clearstar Reactor USDC Morphov1 vault and fixed-rate lending opportunities to maximize depositors risk-adjusted returns. By combining flexible liquidity provisioning with predictable yield strategies it enhances capital efficiency while maintaining robust risk controls. The vault continuously routes funds to the most attractive opportunities within predefined risk parameters leveraging Hypernatives real-time monitoring to mitigate on-chain threats and preserve principal.
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.
What this vault is actually exposed to — including dependencies that are not visible from the strategy name.
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.
Tail-case: a vulnerability surfaces in Morpho V2 that affects the vault's largest single market (58% of TVL). Modeled at 50% loss on that exposure; full vault is not assumed at risk since markets are isolated.
Curator routes into a market that develops bad debt or an oracle break. Worst single position is 58.2% of TVL; top-3 concentration is 71%. Modeled at 50% bad-debt recovery on the worst position.
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 $1M idle buffer (12% of $8M TVL). $49M of the $50M request queues; the redeemer takes a ~0.57% forced-exit discount weighted across collateral mix plus 12-day TVM cost. $42M of the request exceeds the vault's $8M TVL and cannot be redeemed at all.
66% of TVL is in markets running >85% utilization. Redemption requests on that slice queue until borrowers repay; remaining LPs absorb a small forced-exit discount.
