**Gauntlet** stands as a leading risk management and optimization platform in DeFi, recognized for its deep expertise in quantitative modeling, real-time monitoring, and vault curation across major protocols such as **Morpho, Compound, Aave, and Uniswap**.

### **Proven Track Record**

- **Morpho Blue Vaults** : $700M AUM managed, contributing to Morpho’s TVL growth from $900M to $4.2B
- **Aave** : Optimized V2/V3 risk parameters for $130B in TVL; mitigated $100M in potential oracle-based losses
- **Compound** : Launched Morpho Blue vault with $3M in incentives, projected to grow Polygon TVL by $500M
- **Uniswap V3** : Reduced impermanent loss by up to 50%, increased fee revenues by 20% (equivalent to ~$50M annually)
