  3. DeFi Vault Risk Management

DeFi Vault Risk Management 

Comprehensively value and assess the risk of your automated strategy contracts. 

WHAT IS A Defi CRYPTo VAULT?

Not to be confused with custody vaults for cryptoassets, DeFi vaults are smart contracts that pool deposits and package complex yield-generating assets and instruments into simpler, fund- or ETF-like products.

Designed for automated management, these vaults aim to deliver convenient risk-adjusted returns by wrapping underlying exposures and strategy positions like LP tokens, staked derivatives and vaults shares into a single deposit, reducing time, gas, and operational costs.

  • Monitor and manage the risk of your assets stored on-chain 
    Evaluate the contents of your vault across assets and instruments.

  • Build and test your strategies with confidence
    Backtest vault compositions, allocations, and rebalancing rules against high-quality historical data. 

  • Verify performance with independent NAVs and auditable valuations 
    Leverage independent vault NAVs and publish verified valuations using multi-venue, on- and off-chain data to deliver a fully auditable trail.
