Understanding Mantle Vault: Security, strategies and stablecoin yield

In the volatile crypto market, finding a reliable source of yield without exposing capital to significant market swings is a primary goal for many investors. Mantle Vault enables users to do exactly that. Situated within Bybit's On-Chain Earn suite, Mantle Vault is a new low-risk stablecoin yield product that’s designed to simplify the complexities of decentralized finance (DeFi).

Mantle Vault allows users to earn yield on USDT and USDC holdings without the need to manage private keys, gas fees or intricate DeFi strategies manually. By partnering with professional asset management institutions, the product connects users to on-chain trading strategies traditionally reserved for institutional players.

Positioned as a principal-protected DeFi yield product, Mantle Vault prioritizes the preservation of capital while targeting competitive returns. It’s built on a robust infrastructure combining Mantle Network and the Ethereum Mainnet, primarily utilizing the Aave lending protocol to generate returns. The product targets an estimated annual percentage rate (APR) of approximately 7% to 12% on USDT and USDC, offering a compelling alternative to standard savings products.

Note: While the product is designed with principal protection mechanisms, all on-chain activities carry inherent risks related to smart contracts and protocol performance.
