The role of Curators in decentralized finance (DeFi) is under scrutiny following security breaches involving Balancer and Stream Finance. Curators, who manage strategy-based vaults in lending protocols such as Euler and Morpho, are tasked with configuring yield strategies while maintaining non-custodial control over user funds. Despite their contributions to enhancing user returns and total value locked (TVL), recent incidents have highlighted significant risks.
The Stream Finance breach revealed vulnerabilities as several major Curators allocated funds to the high-risk xUSD market, resulting in widespread losses. This situation underscores the potential for profit-driven incentives to overshadow safety considerations, potentially creating systemic vulnerabilities within the DeFi ecosystem.
