# Frontier Vaults

Frontier vaults seek to maximize depositor yield by underwriting materially higher levels of market, liquidity, valuation, and operational risk. These vaults are intended for users willing to accept a higher probability of volatility, impaired liquidations, and valuation uncertainty in exchange for superior return potential.

* **Asset Selection:** Blue-chip, mid-cap, and emerging collateral assets, including more speculative or less-proven markets with greater upside and materially higher embedded risk.
* **Liquidity Profile:** Lower liquidity collateral assets, which increases liquidation complexity and the probability of slippage-driven insolvency during stress events.
* **Timelock Policy (v2):** Frontier vaults share the same per-selector timelock schedule as Balanced vaults. A 3-day timelock governs adapter and allocation cap changes; `setForceDeallocatePenalty` carries an approximately 1-hour timelock (\~0.05 days), enabling rapid risk parameter adjustment in volatile markets.

| setIsAllocator, setPerformanceFeeRecipient, setManagementFeeRecipient                    | 0               |

* **Oracle Risk Considerations:** Frontier vaults may rely on **NAV-based, hardcoded, or otherwise specialized oracle constructions** where spot-market liquidity is insufficient or where observable onchain prices are especially vulnerable to manipulation. These oracle designs may be necessary in frontier markets, but they increase the importance of valuation methodology, monitoring, and conservative parameterization.
* **Yield Expectation:** Highest APY among the vault categories, compensating depositors for materially elevated market and insolvency risk.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vaultbook.gauntlet.xyz/vaults/morpho-vaults/frontier-vaults-maximum-yield-strategies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
