Summary
This proposal suggests a pilot allocation from Seamless’ treasury or product flows into Clearstar curated vaults. The goal is to improve net yields while tightening downside risk through active, programmatic risk management. Governance would review results after a defined trial and decide on scaling or adjusting the allocation.
Motivation
Yields across curators often look similar on the surface, but the differences appear when markets move. Seamless can improve its users’ return profile by pairing competitive base yields with active controls that proactively de-risk positions when assets or venues show credible alerts.
Who We Are
Clearstar is an onchain strategy curator. We have deployed strategy vaults across Morpho, Euler, IPOR and others. We are backed by a Swiss family office with about €1B AUM and combine backgrounds in private equity, investment banking and DeFi.
Our expertise has been developed through the continuous effort of providing top infrastructure, yield optimization and risk management to a crypto fund managing 30M USD.
We design vaults with institutional rigor but make them easy to integrate into consumer-facing products. For more background see this recent piece: Yields are not created equal, Clearstar’s are superior and our Website.
What Makes Us Different
Most curators use static, passive rules that do not change once set. Clearstar vaults are built with a multilayered approach to risk and return. We integrate Hypernative directly into our systems so that our proprietary infrastructure automatically rebalances out of positions that show signs of risk. This safeguard sits on top of our automated yield optimization stack and standard passive risk management. The result is curated strategies that aim to capture competitive yields while actively protecting deposited assets.
Proposal
We propose that Seamless diversify risk by allocating into Clearstar’s ETH and USDC denominated Morpho vaults. These curated vaults combine optimized yield generation with active safeguards to reduce exposure to at-risk assets. We are already integrated and trusted by Harvest Finance’s USDC autopilot as well as working closely with other actor’s in the space such as Liquity, Resolv, Spectra, YieldFi, fxProtocol, IPOR and others.
List of vaults:
• High Yield Clearstar USDC Vault
• Clearstar Reactor OpenEden Boosted USDC
• Clearstar ETH Reactor
Disclosures
Risk cannot be fully eliminated. The design of Clearstar vaults seeks to materially reduce downside risk compared to passive approaches, but governance and community should remain aware that DeFi strategies and allocations always carry systemic and market risks.
Next Steps
We welcome questions and discussion from the Seamless community to address any doubts, refine the allocation size, and move forward with implementation.
