Kamino Finance has deployed the Gauntlet USDC Frontier Vault, a new high-yield strategy curated by crypto risk management firm Gauntlet. Unlike conservative "Prime" vaults, this "Frontier" strategy specifically targets elevated returns by accepting higher volatility and liquidity risks.
The vault dynamically allocates USDC across three primary vectors: PRIME markets (likely referring to Echelon Prime lending pools), Maple Finance (focusing on Real World Assets and institutional credit), and Kamino’s standard Main Markets This structure allows users to access diversified yield sources—ranging from RWA credit to crypto-native asset demand—through a single, professionally managed instrument.
This launch reinforces the "programmable credit" narrative on Solana, where protocols are increasingly blending institutional-grade risk assessment with decentralized permissionless liquidity. By integrating Maple's RWA markets, Kamino is also accelerating the on-chain credit ecosystem, bridging the gap between stablecoin capital and corporate borrower demand.
