Curation — The process by which Gauntlet selects and manages which DeFi markets a vault can deploy capital into. Includes risk tier classification and allocation management. See Curation. Guardian — An off-chain agent (operated by Gauntlet) that submits operations to a vault contract, managing strategy allocations within on-chain constraints. See Aera V3 Guardian Model. Hook — A smart contract module that validates guardian operations before execution, enforcing rules like permitted targets, approved calldata, and exposure limits. See Aera V3 Hooks. LLTV (Liquidation Loan-to-Value) — Maximum ratio of borrowed value to collateral value before liquidation. For example, 86% LLTV means a borrower can borrow up to 86% of their collateral’s value. A key parameter in Gauntlet’s curation evaluation. MultiDepositorVault — A vault pooling capital from multiple depositors into shared liquidity. Depositors interact through a Provisioner and receive vault shares. See Vault Types. Provisioner — A smart contract managing depositor interactions with a
MultiDepositorVault — deposits, redemptions, share pricing, and order solving.
Risk Tier — Classification of vaults by risk-return profile: Prime (conservative), Balanced (moderate), Frontier (higher yield). See Curation.
SingleDepositorVault — A vault dedicated to one entity. The owner deposits directly and a guardian manages allocations within hook constraints. See Vault Types.
Vault Share — A token representing proportional ownership in a multi-depositor vault. Value changes as the vault earns yield or incurs losses.
