Nashpoint (DeFi Protocol)

How Nashpoint uses vaults.fyi API to provide independent validation and build institutional credibility

Nashpoint is pioneering onchain asset management by creating investment vehicles that bridge DeFi and Real World Assets (RWAs). Rather than building internal analytics infrastructure, Nashpoint integrated vaults.fyi's API as a strategic decision to provide independent third-party verification of their performance claims—essential for building trust with institutional clients while saving weeks of development time in the process.

The Challenge: Building Trust in Onchain Asset Management

When building investment products, asset managers face a critical trust problem: how do you prove performance claims to potential investors?

Traditional finance relies on established auditing firms and regulatory oversight, but onchain asset management needed a new approach.

As Cormac Daly, Founder of Nashpoint, explained: "Using @vaultsfyi data on our site is like saying we're audited by such and such.. our APYs and data are independently verified by a third party"

The Solution: Independent Performance Validation

Nashpoint uses vaults.fyi's API to power their entire analytics infrastructure, providing:

• Projected APY calculations showing weighted averages of underlying protocols

• Benchmark rate comparisons for transparent performance evaluation

• Independent data validation that investors can trust

• Real-time performance tracking across DeFi and RWA strategies

Implementation & Results

vaults.fyi APIs power Nashpoint's complete frontend analytics stack, covering APY calculations for vaults, underlying strategies, and performance metrics. The integration was completed in days rather than weeks of internal development, enabling Nashpoint to launch with professional-grade analytics from day one.

This approach delivered multiple advantages:

• Instant Credibility: Industry-standard methodology and third-party validation

• Development Efficiency: Team could focus on core asset management rather than data infrastructure

• Investor Confidence: Independent validation enhances trust with institutional clients

The Credibility Factor

The third-party verification aspect creates strategic advantages:

For Investors: Independent validation of performance claims builds confidence in Nashpoint's management capabilities.

For Nashpoint: As Cormac noted: "It forces us to be good as managers too. Because if we're underperforming... we need to figure out if we're doing something bad, then we need to improve. By using a third-party institutional-grade analytics provider like vaults.fyi, there's no opportunity to "play games" with displayed APY data.”

For the Industry: Establishes a new standard for transparency in onchain asset management.
