Gauntlet USDC Core

av:defi:base:erc4626:c0c5eb12:v1

The USDC Core Vault will list a range of liquid collateral markets and continuously optimize risk-adjusted yield across those markets. This vault targets a higher risk level than Gauntlet's Prime Vaults.

Enough is on the record to act on-chain

Curator, fee, timelock and indexed rates are present, and the index did not flag a severe warning. You can open the live deposit. You can lose what you deposit. This score is not a forecast and not a recommendation.

Decision score

How capital moves

  1. 1 · You

    Deposit USDC from your own wallet.

  2. 2 · Vault

    ERC-4626 vault share. The share is a claim on the vault’s assets under that contract, not a fund unit.

  3. 3 · Strategy

    Curated on-chain lending · Gauntlet

  4. 4 · Exit

    On-chain withdraw. A queue, cap or empty liquid balance can delay it. Instant liquidity is not implied.

Indexed liquidRest of public TVL

96.9% of TVL is the indexed liquid balance ($1,882,051). The rest is deployed and may not be withdrawable at once.

What can go wrong

Smart contract

A bug can lock or lose deposited assets.

ERC-4626 interface. An audit is not proof the code is safe, and this index does not attach audits.

Upgrade / admin

Roles may change fees, caps or where capital sits.

Indexed timelock 3 days.

Collateral

Borrowed asset is lent against collateral that can fall or freeze.

See the allocation chart. LLTV is a parameter, not a prediction.

Oracle

A bad price can distort liquidations in the underlying markets.

Oracle set is not enumerated in this feed.

Liquidity

A withdraw uses the vault’s liquid balance and the markets underneath.

Indexed liquid balance about $1,882,051.

Curator

Someone chooses the markets. That choice can be wrong.

Incentives

A displayed net rate can include rewards that end.

Compare the current rate with the ex-rewards rate on this page.

Warnings

The indexer may flag a known issue. Absence of a flag is not a clean bill of health.

No warning on this pull.

How to read this record

What you would hold

ERC-4626 vault share. The share is a claim on the vault’s assets under that contract, not a fund unit. The operator on this record is Gauntlet. The description above the fold is the curator’s own text.

How value gets in

Self-custodial deposit of USDC. Access is marked Public DeFi access. Fee on the record: 10.00% performance fee (indexed).

How value gets out

On-chain withdraw. A queue, cap or empty liquid balance can delay it. Instant liquidity is not implied. 96.9% of indexed TVL is currently marked liquid. A full exit can still wait on the markets underneath.

What would change the call

Public size sitting under 70 is the gap. Closing it does not make the vault a good investment. It makes the record easier to judge.
