1/ How does our curation engine generate risk-adjusted yield?
Institutional-grade modeling
Gauntlet USD Alpha was not just built to chase yield. Our engineers employ methodologies that optimize allocations for sustainable yield while building resilience to market volatility.👇
• TVL impact: how allocation size affects performance
• Market conditions: adjustments based on anticipated market shifts
• Liquidity: tracking real-time DEX and vault liquidity
• Sustainability: expected yield calculated over 30-day rolling period
3/ Risk mitigation strategies
• Slippage: constrain positions and caps based on real-time DEX and vault liquidity
• Stablecoin risk: 40% cap on non-blue-chip stables in the strategy
• Smart contract risk: strict oracle standards + real-time market health monitoring
• View your balance, earnings, and ROI in real-time
• Track vault performance, including TVL, allocations, and position history
• And, explore all our other vaults
1/ Tracking the Usual USD0++ Chain of Events and Our Approach
Timeline
4:56PM ET: Usual notified us and other curators that unconditional 1:1 redemption of USD0++ on the primary market is now over, via Telegram.
2/ ~4:57PM ET: simultaneous public tweet announcement and blog post that Unconditional 1:1 redemption of USD0++ to USD0 would end, replacing it with 2 mechanisms: a new 0.87 price floor, and a 1:1 Early Unstaking mechanism for USD0++ → USD0, which will be available early next week (holders forgoe any earned yield on the USD0++).
3/ 5:00PM ET: Our Risk Team started wargaming scenarios and discussing how we should manage our depositors’ capital and the risks they may be exposed to.
We've partnered with @DriftProtocol to build a delta-hedged JLP vault, leveraging @JupiterExchange's innovative Liquidity Provider token (JLP).
This structured product builds on our experience in risk management and vault curation.
@DriftProtocol @JupiterExchange 2/ Rapid early growth
The hJLP vault has surpassed $1M in total deposits and is nearing its initial cap. As we assess vault growth over the coming weeks, we will raise the cap as necessary to balance the risk-adjusted return.
@DriftProtocol @JupiterExchange 3/ Why hedge JLP exposure at all?
While JLP yields are attractive, token holders face risks from both crypto price swings and trader PnL exposure, which can eat into JLP returns.
The hJLP strategy aims to mitigate these risks by automatically hedging both components.
