Early-stage strategy with limited TVL.
TL;DR
- The Stable Vault deploys stable-denominated capital into low-volatility opportunities: carry, liquidity provision, basis capture, and conservative yield sources.
- It prioritizes capital preservation over large upside. Returns tend to be steadier and more incremental than trading-oriented vaults.
- It can still lose money. Stablecoin depeg, venue failure, and carry compression are real risks.
- You need ORAI staked to deposit. This is an early-stage strategy.

How it works
- What it trades
- How it earns
- Execution style
The vault primarily deploys stable assets into low-volatility opportunities: lending-style carry, liquidity provision with limited directional exposure, short-duration basis capture, and other stable-focused yield sources.The strategy stays centered on stable-denominated instruments rather than volatile assets whenever possible.
Performance characteristics and risk
Volatility profile
Volatility profile
The Stable Vault usually has the lowest volatility profile among strategy vaults. Returns tend to be steadier and more incremental, and drawdowns are typically smaller than directional or signal-based strategies.Upside is generally lower than more aggressive vaults — the strategy trades large directional exposure for steadier behaviour.
Typical drawdowns
Typical drawdowns
Drawdowns can occur during stablecoin depegs, protocol stress, or sudden collapses in incentive quality. Even small-scale venue or counterparty issues can impair returns quickly.Performance during these events is typically less severe than directional strategies, but losses are still possible.
Failure modes
Failure modes
The main failure mode is stablecoin or venue risk — a depeg, liquidity crunch, counterparty failure, or incentive collapse can impair capital faster than the strategy can reallocate.A secondary failure mode is yield compression: attractive stable carry can disappear when too much capital crowds into the same opportunities, forcing the vault into lower-return deployments.
Best use
This vault may suit you if:- You want a more defensive strategy product and care more about steadiness than chasing peak returns.
- You are comfortable with a lower-upside, lower-volatility profile.
- You prefer a strategy that focuses on carry and capital preservation over directional risk.
- You want large upside from directional market moves.
- You expect returns during strong bull markets to match trading-oriented vaults — this strategy deliberately gives that up.
- You believe stable assets carry no risk — depeg and venue risk are real here.

Is this vault risk-free because it uses stable assets?
Is this vault risk-free because it uses stable assets?
No. Stable assets reduce directional volatility, but they do not remove depeg risk, venue risk, or strategy execution risk.
Why are returns usually lower than aggressive vaults?
Why are returns usually lower than aggressive vaults?
Because the strategy gives up directional upside in exchange for steadier, more defensive capital deployment.
