# Nashpoint: Third-Party APY Verification for Onchain Asset Management
> How Nashpoint uses the vaults.fyi API to independently verify APY data and benchmark performance for its DeFi and RWA investment strategies — building institutional investor trust from day one.
[Nashpoint](http://nashpoint.fi/) 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 as a strategic decision — providing independent third-party verification of performance claims that institutional investors demand.
## The Challenge: Proving Performance Claims in Onchain Finance
When building investment products, asset managers face a fundamental trust problem: how do you prove to potential investors that your performance figures are accurate and unbiased?
Traditional finance answers this with auditing firms and regulatory oversight. Onchain asset management needed a different approach.
As Cormac Daly, Founder of Nashpoint, explained:
> *"Using vaults.fyi 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."*
Without a neutral data provider, Nashpoint would have had to build and maintain its own analytics stack — and investors would still have had reason to question the numbers.
## The Solution: Independent Validation via vaults.fyi
Nashpoint uses the vaults.fyi API to power its entire frontend analytics infrastructure:
* **Projected APY calculations** — weighted averages of yields across underlying protocols.
* **Benchmark comparisons** — transparent evaluation of performance against DeFi market rates.
* **Independent data validation** — APY figures sourced from vaults.fyi rather than self-reported.
* **Real-time tracking** — live performance data across DeFi and RWA strategies.
The integration was completed in days — enabling Nashpoint to launch with professional-grade analytics and credible, third-party-sourced data from day one.
## The Credibility Factor
Third-party verification creates compounding advantages:
**For investors:** Independent validation of performance claims removes a key source of doubt about Nashpoint's data integrity.
**For Nashpoint:** As Cormac explained, the transparency has an internal benefit too:
> *"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:** This approach establishes a reproducible standard for transparency in onchain asset management — one where performance is validated by neutral, onchain-sourced data rather than protocol-reported figures.
## Results
* **Instant credibility** — industry-standard methodology and third-party validation from launch.
* **Development efficiency** — the team focused on core asset management, not data infrastructure.
* **Investor confidence** — independent validation supports institutional due diligence.
