How Maple Finance uses the vaults.fyi API for benchmarking and independent performance validation
‍Maple Finance is a leading Asset Manager, offering institutional products and DeFi assets that are transparent and verifiable onchain generating yield for its clients. Maple offers a variety of products including secured lending, structured products and institutional staking. Maple blends DeFi efficiency with the underwriting standards and custody solutions expected by sophisticated capital allocators.
To benchmark syrupUSDC’s performance and transparently display competitive yields, Maple Finance integrated the vaults.fyi API as both a market intelligence tool and an independent, third-party data source.
The Challenge: Benchmarking and Building Trust
For asset managers, context matters. Users want to know how yields compare to other available opportunities and they need to trust that the numbers are independently verified.
Maple Finance faced two key challenges:
Competitive Benchmarking: They needed real-time access to stablecoin yields across DeFi to measure syrupUSDC’s competitiveness.
Independent Performance Validation: Displaying an externally sourced APY helps build trust by reducing reliance on self-reported metrics.
Without a standardized, comprehensive DeFi yield dataset, Maple Finance would have faced significant development and data sourcing hurdles.
The Solution: Seamless Market Data from vaults.fyi
By integrating the vaults.fyi API, Maple Finance now benefits from:
Real-time market data to benchmark syrupUSDC against leading stablecoin vaults.
Third-party APY metrics from vaults.fyi to transparently display syrupUSDC performance.
Historical yield tracking to analyze syrupUSDC’s competitiveness over time.
The vaults.fyi API enabled Maple to streamline their performance monitoring, eliminate manual tracking, and confidently display independent yield data to their users.
Key Benefits
Instant Market Context: Seamless comparison of syrupUSDC’s to competing vaults.
Independent Validation: Builds user trust with third-party APY data.
Operational Efficiency: No need to develop or maintain custom data infrastructure.
Faster Go-To-Market: Integrated in days, saving significant internal resources.
The Emerging DeFi Standard: Transparency & Trust
By using vaults.fyi’s independent yield metrics, Maple Finance enhances product transparency and reinforces its commitment to data integrity and user trust. This strategic choice aligns Maple with an emerging DeFi standard: leveraging neutral, third-party sources to validate performance.
