AI vault read
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 KAT (a token on the Katana chain) into this vault, and Yearn lends it out to borrowers who post avKAT as collateral—essentially a wrapped or derivative form of KAT itself. The interest rate is set by supply and demand; right now there's modest demand (42% of the vault's KAT is lent out) and the vault earns 0.76% APY on the capital that's deployed.
Who runs it
Yearn runs this vault and appears to operate a narrow, single-asset book—100% KAT lent against KAT collateral on a small base ($0.2M TVL).
Where the yield comes from
The APY comes entirely from borrowing demand for avKAT. With only 42% utilization, most yield comes from that deployed portion; no idle cash, no incentive programs listed.
What could break it
The vault's risk is concentrated in KAT itself—both the lent asset and the collateral are the same token, so a KAT price drop would reduce the un-borrowed buffer and push borrowers toward liquidation (the threshold is 77% LTV). The risk engine scores this 28/100 (low severity) and flags no elevated issues, but the single-asset exposure means no diversification hedge.
Who this is for
Good fit for KAT believers seeking modest yield on small amounts; avoid if you need diversification or want to hedge KAT exposure elsewhere in your portfolio.

Liquidationweight 20%
Headroom (1 − LLTV) measured in σ-units of 30d realized vol, amplified by utilization.
Yield anomalyweight 20%
Peer-cohort z-score plus absolute-yield band. Excess yield is risk you may not yet model.

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
Yearn KAT vault lends to Katana specific markets. Optimization across markets is handled automatically via an algorithm developed by Yearn. Supply caps are set based on various factors and continuously monitored by the Yearn team as well.
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.
