Morpho Vaults aggregate deposits and allocate them across these markets, abstracting the complexity of individual market selection for depositors.

As a curator, Api3 selects lending markets, manages risk parameters, and allocates capital to generate yield for vault depositors.

## Vaults

Api3 operates three USDC vaults on Ethereum mainnet.
Api3 operates multiple vaults across Ethereum mainnet and the Robinhood chain.
All vaults share the same [role structure](/curation/roles-and-operations) and [risk framework](/curation/risk-management).

### Api3 Core

Api3 Core is Api3's flagship conservative vault.
It supplies USDC to lending markets backed by blue-chip collateral assets — wstETH (Lido wrapped staked ETH) and cbBTC (Coinbase wrapped BTC).
It supplies USDC to lending markets backed by blue-chip collateral assets — wstETH (Lido wrapped staked ETH), cbBTC (Coinbase wrapped BTC), and kBTC (Kraken wrapped BTC).
These are high-liquidity, battle-tested assets with deep on-chain liquidity and well-established oracle infrastructure.
The vault targets stable, lower-risk yield from borrowing demand against these widely held collateral types.

The Api3 dCOMP vault supplies the USDC borrow-side liquidity for this market, making the mechanism viable.

### Purinta

Purinta is a pair of meme token lending vaults curated by Api3: a USDC vault on Ethereum mainnet and a USDG vault on the Robinhood chain.
Each supplies the borrow-side liquidity for a set of isolated meme token markets — PEPE, SPX6900 and SHIB on Ethereum, and CASHCAT on Robinhood.

Meme tokens are more volatile and higher-risk than blue-chip collateral, so a market is only listed when its token has enough on-chain liquidity to support healthy swaps and liquidations. Supply caps and LLTVs are configured conservatively to limit that exposure.

These markets are surfaced to borrowers through [Purinta app](https://purinta.xyz), a meme token lending interface.

### Accessing the vaults

All three vaults are deployed on Ethereum mainnet and can be viewed and accessed through the Morpho app, where Api3 operates as a [verified curator.](https://forum.morpho.org/c/vaults/api3/57) Live figures - total deposits, APY, enabled markets, and current supply caps - are shown there.

Each Api3 vault is a [Morpho Vault V2](https://docs.morpho.org/learn/concepts/vault-v2/) that supplies the assets directly to a curated set of isolated Morpho markets:

```
Depositor → Vault → Adapter → Morpho Markets
```

Depositors supply USDC to the vault and receive vault shares. The vault routes capital into the underlying Morpho markets through a market adapter, and the Api3 role structure and governance controls described above apply at the vault level. The 5% performance fee is charged here (see [Fees](/curation/#fees)).
Depositors supply the vault's asset (such as USDC) and receive vault shares. The vault routes capital into the underlying Morpho markets through a market adapter, and the Api3 role structure and governance controls described above apply at the vault level. The 5% performance fee is charged here (see [Fees](/curation/#fees)).

Changes that could increase risk to depositors - adding a market adapter or raising a supply cap - are subject to a 7-day timelock, giving depositors advance notice before they take effect. The sentinel can act immediately to reduce risk.

## Allocation and rebalancing

Capital allocation across markets is automated.
The Api3 allocation bot monitors market conditions and rebalances the vault's positions to maintain target utilization and competitive APY.
When an enabled market lacks borrowing demand, the bot can supply the vault's otherwise-idle USDC to a deep, blue-chip market (such as wstETH/USDC) so that it continues to earn yield.

A portion of vault liquidity is kept readily withdrawable to assist with depositor withdrawals and mitigate delays. In addition, the Vault V2 design lets anyone permissionlessly pull supplied liquidity back from a market into the vault - a forced deallocation, subject to a small penalty - when liquidity is needed. Neither mechanism guarantees delay-free withdrawal.
