**Gauntlet USD Alpha (gtUSDa)** seeks to achieve the highest risk-adjusted yield on stablecoins. Leveraging our battle-tested optimization engine to allocate to lending markets across chains, the strategy can serve crypto-native and traditional financial institutions alike for various use cases.

**The vault** is built on the Aera Protocol, a decentralized blockchain protocol that allows users to autonomously manage digital assets in a non-custodial fashion. Access full performance metrics on the Gauntlet App, including historical yield, market allocations, and collateral at risk.

**Gauntlet USD Alpha** is not a points-farming, highly incentivized vault like what might exist elsewhere. We’ve been in this game long enough to know that sustainability matters. Real yield matters. As we refine the strategy, Gauntlet USD Alpha will combine variable-rate and fixed-rate yield opportunities across chains.

**Strategy:** [**Gauntlet USD Alpha**](https://app.gauntlet.xyz/vaults/gtusda?utm_source=vaultbook\&utm_medium=organic)

**Ticker:** gtUSDa

**Supply asset:** $USDC on Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Ethereum Mainnet.&#x20;
