Blockdaemon Integrates 50+ Gauntlet Vaults for Institutional Access to Onchain Yield

Key Takeaways

  • Blockdaemon has integrated Gauntlet-curated Morpho Vaults into its Earn Stack, giving users access to onchain yield on stablecoins, ETH, and more.
  • Earn Stack users can select Vaults from three risk tiers: Prime, Balanced, and Frontier, each backed by our battle-tested curation framework and yield-optimization strategies that have navigated numerous market volatility events without incurring any bad debt.
  • Institutions and developers can now integrate onchain yield without the operational complexity of navigating a fragmented DeFi yield landscape.

Gauntlet-curated Morpho Vaults are now integrated with Blockdaemon’s Earn Stack. The partnership gives institutional clients and developers access to onchain stablecoin, ETH, and other yields across Ethereum Mainnet, Base, and Arbitrum, totaling 50+ vaults.

Building on eight years of cryptoeconomic research and risk management, our vaults optimize yield for $1.5B+ across protocols and chains, giving institutions and developers a battle-tested foundation for allocating funds onchain with confidence.

Onchain yield coverage across 3 chains and 3 risk tiers

Treasury reserves, operating capital, and flexible allocations each carry different yield and risk requirements, and our Prime, Balanced, and Frontier Vaults are built to match that range. Across these three vault tiers, our posture is conservative by design: reallocate early, shrink exposure when liquidity thins, and prioritize capital preservation over headline APY.

Prime Vaults allocate to high-liquidity, blue-chip lending markets, primarily backed by ETH- and BTC-denominated collateral, targeting sustainable yield with minimal exposure to insolvent debt even under stressed conditions. Balanced Vaults pursue competitive yield by allocating across large- and lower-cap collateralized markets while keeping exposure to any single asset within defined parameters. Frontier Vaults target maximum yield by allocating to markets with higher return potential, suited for allocators with greater risk tolerance.

Every Gauntlet Vault benefits from our rigorous risk curation framework, which includes extensive due diligence, 24/7 liquidity and market utilization monitoring, and stress testing. Our Vaults have navigated numerous market volatility events with no bad debt.

Institutions are moving onchain with Gauntlet

For institutional allocators, the barrier to onchain yield is often operational: tracking liquidity, evaluating protocol risk, and monitoring collateral across a fragmented market takes significant resources. Blockdaemon's Earn Stack integration addresses this by consolidating 50+ Gauntlet-curated vaults across multiple networks and asset types into a single user interface.

Blockdaemon joins leading institutions worldwide that deploy capital through Gauntlet Vaults and rely on our risk models. Read more about our institutional collaborations on VaultBook.
