𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐃𝐞𝐅𝐢 𝐯𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲: "𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍?" The honest answers fall into three groups. 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The protocol uses @aave, @Morpho, or @CurveFinance because those names carry weight. Selection runs on brand, not data. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤: When a well-known protocol underperforms, capital sits there anyway because the brand is intact even when the returns aren't. 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐏𝐘 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠. The vault rotates into whichever protocol shows the highest advertised yield that week. Selection runs on aggregator dashboards; which, as we've documented, diverge from realized share price by 3+ percentage points on average. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤: Capital chases displayed numbers, not delivered ones. 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. Every candidate vault gets indexed block by block. Share price history is computed across multiple rolling windows. Audit status, drawdown history, and TVL composition are tracked. Aggregator figures are cross-referenced against on-chain reality, and vaults whose numbers diverge significantly are excluded. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤: It's more demanding operationally. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭: Every allocation decision can be defended from on-chain data. ayUSD runs group three, with one filter most don't apply: every candidate vault has to show at least 9 months of share-price-verified performance before it qualifies for inclusion. We allow exceptions when diversification across chain, strategy type, or underlying protocol justifies it, and we publish which vaults get the exception and why. This is what vault selection looks like when the rules are written down. The opposite; "trust us, we picked good ones", is how most major DeFi vault failures of the past 18 months started. If your yield product can't show you the scoring criteria behind its allocation, you're trusting reputation. Reputation breaks the moment a protocol underperforms.
