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 put WETH into this vault, and it lends out 100% of that WETH to borrowers who post liquid staking tokens—mainly cbETH, wstETH, weETH, and wsuperOETHb—as collateral. The vault earns interest from borrowers; rates are set by supply and demand on Morpho Blue, with no idle buffer.
Who runs it
Gauntlet runs this vault as a focused stablecoin lender against LST collateral, operating on Base with a moderate risk posture (43/100 complexity score).
Where the yield comes from
The 2.47% APY comes entirely from borrowing demand against liquid staking token collateral. cbETH drives 83% of lending and is 91% utilized; wstETH and weETH make up most of the remainder and are running at 84–100% utilization.
What could break it
The vault's single material risk is LST volatility—a sharp move down in cbETH or wstETH could force liquidations if collateral prices drop below the seize levels (LLTV 95% for cbETH, 97% for wstETH), and fire-sale liquidations could reduce realized recovery.
Who this is for
Good fit for institutions comfortable with ETH-derivative exposure and willing to accept sub-3% yield; avoid if you need capital stability or can't tolerate LST repricing risk.

Liquidityweight 10%
Util curve position, share locked above 95%, idle buffer.
Maturityweight 10%
Vintage + TVL-time integral. V2 vaults carry an opacity surcharge.
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 Gauntlet WETH Balanced vault aims to optimize for risk-adjusted yield across large and medium market cap assets and high liquidity yield sources. The vaults risk strategy follows Gauntlets Balanced framework whereby we curate supply to balance security and yield to provide a low risk profile at competitive APYs.
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.

Lending venueLoan 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
rare
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.
