As the DeFi ecosystem expands, evaluating Vault Curators becomes crucial to mitigate exploit risks. Curators, who design and manage Vaults using smart contracts, offer non-custodial and transparent fund management. Key factors for evaluation include the Curator's track record, transparency, communication, and conflict of interest disclosures. These Vaults, built from leveraged lending positions, provide a cost-efficient alternative to traditional asset management models.
