Gauntlet is a leader in data-driven onchain yield strategy. The team provides applied research and risk management services to clients including Coinbase, Morpho, Uniswap, Arbitrum, and NEAR — with models safeguarding over $42 billion in digital assets across the crypto ecosystem. To enhance internal research and protocol modeling, Gauntlet integrated the vaults.fyi API as a data source. This provides their team with normalized, up-to-date yield data across dozens of protocols and networks — without the overhead of maintaining bespoke indexers or reconciling disparate sources.

​
The Challenge: Fragmented, High-Maintenance Yield Data

Gauntlet’s models depend on high-quality onchain data, but aggregating yield data at scale presents compounding challenges:
  • Data fragmentation: Yield mechanisms differ widely across protocols — supply/borrow APRs, staking rewards, real-world asset returns — making standardized comparisons difficult without normalization.
  • Maintenance burden: In-house indexers require constant updates as protocols evolve, consuming engineering resources that could go toward modeling.
  • Cross-chain complexity: Coverage across multiple L1s and L2s multiplies the surface area to monitor, and errors at the data layer propagate into research outputs.
For a firm where data quality directly affects the integrity of risk models, these aren’t just operational problems — they’re risks.

​
The Solution: A Single API for Normalized Yield Data

By integrating vaults.fyi, Gauntlet can:
  • Access normalized APY data across protocols and blockchain networks through a single interface.
  • Pull historical yield trends to analyze volatility, time-based behavior, and protocol-specific risk.
  • Incorporate live and historical vault data into quantitative models without building custom pipelines per protocol.
  • Eliminate maintenance overhead as protocols update, upgrade, or launch new products.
This lets Gauntlet focus on what it does best — building simulations and strategies — while relying on vaults.fyi for the underlying yield data infrastructure.

​
Outcome

vaults.fyi serves as a data partner supporting Gauntlet’s research across DeFi. As Gauntlet pushes the frontier of onchain economic modeling, normalized yield data from vaults.fyi feeds directly into the risk models that protect billions in digital assets.
