The Gauntlet USDC Prime vault aims to optimize for risk-adjusted yield across large market cap and high liquidity collateral markets.
The contract imposes NO notice period: a redeem settles in the transaction that asks for it. That is not a promise of an instant exit — it is still subject to the vault having the money, which is the liquidity reading and a separate question — but there is no queue, no request step and no lock-up in the contract.
The overall band reads `high` while 1 dimension read worse: market severe. The band weighs them against everything else, which is why it can read better without being in conflict.

The contract holds 412,980,144.28 USDC, read from the chain by its token. At the price we publish that is $412.91M, against the $412.91M shown above.
Only half of this is ours. The quantity comes from the contract and can be checked by anybody; the price comes from defillama:coins, so a wrong price would move both figures together and this would still agree.
Over 27 daily readings it has ranged from 4.26% to 4.73%, averaging 4.47%. The tile below shows today’s quote alone.
27 readings is 27 days, not a year. We began taking them on 2026-09-19 and this window grows with the record rather than standing in for a longer one.
The published ratio divides the realised rate by the rate this vault quotes TODAY. Over 27 of the 209 days the return covers we hold its own quotes, it advertised between 4.26% and 4.73%, averaging 4.47%, and today's quote is near the TOP of that range, so the published ratio is built on one of this vault's better quotes. Against the average it quoted, the realised rate is 98.25% of it. We hold no quote for the rest of the window, so this says what the venue was advertising while we watched and not across the whole return.
The verdict band is published with the answer: below 0.5 of the advertised rate is short, above 1.5 is beating, everything between is in line. It is wide on purpose, because the two rates are measured differently: one is what the venue quotes, the other is what its own share price did.
Patterns in this vault’s record that have more than one explanation. None of them lowers its grade and none of them is a finding of wrongdoing, a ledger cannot separate the readings below, and neither can we.
Measured over the last 30 days, as of 2026-10-16 21:21 UTC. A pattern that stops is cleared rather than left standing.
A quoted rate is one input, not a verdict. These are the same seven fields in the same order for every vault, so a high rate and a high rate nobody can withdraw from do not look alike.
$10.0k would be $10.1k , a gain of $102.84, 1.0% over 86 days.
Priced from our first reading 3 days after that date; 2026-07-22, because it is the earliest price we hold rather than one we would have to invent.
Computed from the price of one share, so another depositor arriving is never counted as this strategy’s performance. Fees the venue charges inside the share price are included; anything charged outside it is not. It says what this vault did between two dates and nothing whatever about what it will do next.
Everything above is reconstructed from public data. A declaration is free, signed from this vault’s own key, and cannot be edited afterwards.Note 28
Six questions, and what we hold for each. This is not a score and there is no letter at the end of it: the answers are different kinds of thing and compressing them into one number would hide exactly the part a reader needs. Where we have nothing, the row says so.
Owner, curator and guardian are different parties, so no single one of them can act alone.
183 transactions moved assets on the vault’s own account, across 130 tokens.
Counted as manager activity because the transaction carried neither a deposit nor a withdrawal. 37,760 further transfers travelled with somebody’s own money and are not counted here. A transfer is not a trade: this says the contract acted, not that it acted well.
Timing indicates model assisted management, confidence 56%.
Timing only. This says nothing about whether the strategy is any good, a losing bot is still a bot.
A vault that is eighty per cent one depositor is a vault whose price can be reset by a single withdrawal, and whose headline TVL says almost nothing about whether anyone else believes in it. Concentration is the risk a return figure never shows, and it moves before the return line does.

The levels come from this vault’s own risk components and controller reading. The bars draw them; they are not a second calculation, and there is deliberately no overall figure.
Figures computed from the share price read from the vault contract as we went: 2026-08-17 to 2026-10-15, 384 observations. 30-day window from 2026-09-15. Readings from the share price read from the contract at past blocks, reconstructed afterwards (14) exist and are not mixed in: one series, one source.
Amber means the evidence is incomplete, never that the vault is risky, and grey means we did not read it rather than that there is nothing to read. Nothing here is a rating, a recommendation, or a statement that this vault is safe.
These fields are empty because nobody has attested them, not because we failed to find them. An operator who registers gets a record that provably cannot be edited after the fact, and a grade no unregistered strategy can reach.
We have watched who controls this vault since 2026-08-24 and nothing we record has moved in that window. That is not the same as a vault that has never changed hands: anything before 2026-08-24 predates this platform holding control state at all, and we do not reconstruct it from history.
Attributed collateral only. A vault accepting many collaterals at once reports less here than it holds, so this is what we can attribute rather than everything it is lent against.
8 markets read, $412.94M attributed. 1 did not publish a loan-to-value, shown as a dash rather than as zero. 1 is capped at nothing: the curator permits no more money in, whatever is there now. 5 of them have been liquidated since we began reading, and none of those left debt unrecovered. The market by market rows, and this vault’s share of each, are part of the crowding data.
