Use Cases

Gauntlet USD Alpha has a wide variety of applicable use cases for crypto-native and traditional financial institutions alike:

• Asset Managers & Financial Institutions: Financial institutions interested in offering custom yield strategies directly to their customers.

• L1 & L2 Ecosystems: Blockchains looking to bootstrap their DeFi ecosystem by offering native yield opportunities.

• Wallet Providers & Exchanges: Platforms with existing crypto-native user bases can integrate Aera vaults to offer their users seamless access to yield strategies directly within their familiar interface, enhancing user retention and engagement.

• RWA (Real-World Asset) Issuers & Platforms: Entities tokenizing real-world assets can partner with Aera to create yield-bearing products that combine RWAs with DeFi-native strategies. Check out our launch with Securitize and Apollo to see what’s possible.

Any organization wanting to offer innovative, onchain financial strategies without the overhead of building and managing complex portfolio and risk management infrastructure from scratch can be a strong partner.
