Overview of Morpho vaults

Morpho vaults are an easy way to earn passive yield without having to actively manage your assets. When you deposit into a Morpho vault, your funds are automatically utilized within Morpho Blue's advanced strategies.

Since the strategies vary, so do the vaults, their names, and their use-case. Logically, the main focus for all of these strategies is to maximize yield while managing risk.

DeFi Saver supports the following vaults:

Gauntlet Prime

Gauntlet’s Prime vaults focus on stability and low risk.

They aim to give suppliers a steady, conservative yield while making sure the chances of losing funds stay extremely low, even during major market crashes.

These vaults mostly supply to markets that:

  • Use very liquid, blue-chip assets (like ETH or stables) as collateral.

  • Have a strong price link between the asset being supplied and the collateral, which helps reduce volatility risk.

Sometimes, they may include markets that don’t fully meet these standards, but when they do, they’ll be extra careful by setting lower limits and stricter safety settings to keep things secure.

Prime vaults target a lower risk level than their Core vaults. Gauntlet Prime vaults available on DeFi Saver include Prime-USDC, Prime-USDT and Prime-WETH

Gauntlet Core

Gauntlet’s Core vaults aim to offer solid returns while carefully managing risk.

They do this by spreading funds across both major and smaller markets, but always keeping limits on how much exposure they have to any single asset.

When picking which assets to use, Gauntlet looks at a few key things:

  • They manage how much the vault supplies compared to the whole market, so users can withdraw smoothly when they need to.

  • They make sure there's enough trading activity and liquidity for assets to be sold quickly and safely, even during sudden market drops.

Core vaults target a higher risk level than their Prime vaults.

Gauntlet Core vaults available on DeFi Saver include Core-USDC, Core-USDA and Core-WETH

Steakhouse

Steakhouse vaults aim to optimize yields by lending against blue chip crypto and real world asset (RWA) collateral markets, depending on market condition.

They are run by Carniceria Tropical and are built with strong safety checks in place. They follow strict rules to reduce trust and protect depositors as much as possible.

If the vault wants to add more exposure to a certain asset, it has to be approved by the community through its Aragon DAO.

These vaults mainly focus on highly liquid, stable assets to keep price swings and volatility low. While they’re designed to be steady and reliable, no strategy is risk-free, so sudden market crashes or extreme events can still cause unexpected changes.

Flagship

The Flagship vault is managed by B.Protocol and Block Analitica. It’s designed to give users solid, risk-adjusted returns by lending to markets backed by well-known, reliable collateral (like blue-chip assets and stablecoins).

Flagship vaults available on DeFi Saver include Flagship-USDT and Flagship-ETH

Re7 Labs

The Re7 Vault, created by Re7 Labs, is built to earn better returns than regular staked ETH.

It does this by lending WETH to a mix of markets that use Liquid Staking and Liquid Restaking Tokens (like wstETH, rsETH, etc.) as collateral.

By spreading across these newer, yield-bearing assets, the vault aims to boost returns while staying diversified.

This vault currently earns Ether.Fi & Renzo points. The only Re7 Labs vault available on DeFi Saver is Re7-WETH

So, how do they all work?

  • You deposit your assets (like ETH or stablecoins) into a vault.

  • The vault deploys them into lending markets using Morpho Blue, automatically rebalancing positions based on the strategy.

  • You earn a yield that reflects both lending interest and the vault’s strategic optimizations.

  • You can withdraw at any time (as long as there’s enough liquidity in the vault).
