Yearn OG USDC V2
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.
You deposit USDC on Base and the vault lends it out to borrowers who have posted cbXRP, cbDOGE, YFI, or cbLTC as collateral. Borrowers pay interest on those loans, and that interest flows back to you as yield. The interest rate adjusts based on how much of the vault's USDC is already borrowed (currently 100% deployed).
Yearn operates this vault as a straightforward stablecoin-lending book tilted heavily toward Base chain collateral (cbXRP 84%, cbDOGE 8%, YFI 5%, cbLTC 3%).
The 5.00% APY comes entirely from interest paid by borrowers against those four collateral types. All deposited capital is lent out (0% idle), so there is no cash buffer.
The vault's risk comes almost entirely from cbXRP price moves — if cbXRP drops below its 77% liquidation threshold and borrowers don't repay, lenders absorb losses. cbDOGE and cbLTC have lower thresholds (63%), making them riskier per dollar. The risk score of 27/100 reflects this is a lower-risk vault relative to DeFi lending, but cbXRP concentration is material.
Good fit for an allocator comfortable with Base-native collateral and wanting simple, single-asset stablecoin exposure if they can accept cbXRP volatility; avoid if you need capital preservation or cannot tolerate collateral liquidation scenarios.

Yearn OG vaults lend underlying assets to markets labeled as moderate risk by the Yearn team. 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.
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.
Sequencer halt on Base blocks liquidations and redemptions for 48 hours. Without per-allocation buffers we apply a baseline 0.5% liquidity discount scaled by chain severity (1.0×).
Vault 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.
