Key Takeaways
Stablecoin yield for over 300,000 CoolWallet users, curated by Gauntlet and built into the Earn menu of the self-custodial CoolWallet App.
Starting today, CoolWallet users can earn on USDC with Curated Yield, directly in the CoolWallet App, powered by Gauntlet USD Alpha and a dedicated CoolWallet vault on Gauntlet's own infrastructure.
CoolWallet, from CoolBitX, has been devoted to the wallet business since 2014. Its card-sized hardware wallets and self-custodial app serve over 300,000 users with zero hacking incidents. The Earn menu already lets users stake across networks, and Curated Yield now sits alongside for USDC balances.
The launch pairs CoolWallet's distribution and security with Gauntlet's curation. CoolWallet brings the device, the app and the user relationship. Gauntlet curates the underlying strategy, which lends in overcollateralized lending markets across Ethereum mainnet and L2s, and manages risk 24/7. The vault is built on Aera, Gauntlet's first-party vault infrastructure, and runs Gauntlet USD Alpha, the flagship stablecoin strategy behind our Earn integrations.
Users choose Curated Yield in Earn, enter an amount, and sign with their CoolWallet device or in the CoolWallet App. USDC is accepted on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and Optimism. Positions and returns are shown in the app, and withdrawals are processed on request with no lockups.
As of today, CoolWallet users can:
- Earn yield on USDC balances directly in the CoolWallet App.
- Retain self-custody of their keys while their stablecoins earn.
- Rely on Gauntlet's vault infrastructure, strategy curation and 24/7 risk management.
To get started, open Earn in the CoolWallet App or visit coolwallet.io/pages/staking.
