    How Vaults Bring Transparent, Programmable Yields w/ Tarun Chitra (Gauntlet)

    Presented by Stablecon, Powered by BVNK In episode 10 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh are joined by Tarun Chitra, Co-Founder and CEO of Gauntlet, a leading vault curator. We explore DeFi’s evolution and how the industry has converged on “vault curation”. DeFi vaults are the onchain analogue of ETFs or credit funds, but with 24/7 liquidity, programmable risk constraints, and hardened sandboxes that can safely support agentic/algorithmic asset management.  We discuss what vaults solve for, how fintechs should navigate yield options, and where DeFi and asset managers intersect as the world moves toward tokenized money and fully electronic credit markets.
