The Easiest Way to Integrate with DeFi Yield

The Gauntlet Developer Kit gives you everything you need to add yield to your app — curated vaults, battle-tested infrastructure, and a complete integration layer so you don’t have to build it yourself. Gauntlet integration architecture — Your App connects to the Gauntlet SDK, API, and Developer Portal, which sit on top of Gauntlet Vaults and infrastructure
  • Gauntlet Vaults — Institutional-grade yield strategies curated by Gauntlet across DeFi protocols and chains
  • Vault Infrastructure — Responsive, flexible, and secure onchain protocols and offchain systems that power those strategies
  • Gauntlet SDK — Single client for vault discovery, deposits, withdrawals, positions, and attribution. Wraps the API for data and communicates onchain via your RPC URLs for transactions.
  • Gauntlet API — The raw REST API underneath the SDK. Use it directly if you need full control or are working outside TypeScript.
  • Gauntlet Developer Portal — Register your app, provision API keys, track attribution, and manage payments

​
