Grove x Steakhouse 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.
Depositors put USDC into this vault, and Steakhouse Financial lends it out entirely to borrowers who pledge staked Ethereum (wstETH) and Bitcoin (WBTC) as collateral. The interest rate adjusts based on how much borrowing demand exists against those collaterals — when utilization is high (both are at 86%), rates are higher.
Steakhouse Financial runs a concentrated book: 76% wstETH, 24% WBTC, both at the same tight collateral threshold (86% LLTV), zero buffer for idle cash.
The 3.21% APY comes from borrowing demand against staked-Ethereum and Bitcoin collateral; no incentive programs are listed. All deployed capital — zero idle USDC.
Dual concentration risk: nearly three-quarters of the vault moves with wstETH price, and both collaterals are at identical utilization and liquidation thresholds. A sharp drop in either asset price cascades into liquidations and potential shortfall.
Good fit for fixed-income allocators comfortable with wstETH and Bitcoin tail risk if seeking simple stablecoin-to-liquid-collateral exposure; avoid if you need diversification across loan types or collateral classes.

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.
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 $5M idle buffer (100% of $5M TVL). $45M of the $50M request queues; the redeemer takes a ~0.50% forced-exit discount weighted across collateral mix plus 0-day TVM cost. $45M of the request exceeds the vault's $5M TVL and cannot be redeemed at all.
