# Curated Vaults We're taking applications for DeFi curators to launch any number of their own vaults. ### Why curate vaults with Defx * **Existing DeFi + Perps:** you can build strategies that interact with AMMs, LSTs, lending protocols, and use perps (Defx, Lighter, and HyperLiquid) to create unique structured products * **Get USD and crypto TVL:** create strategies that manage BTC, ETH, LSTs, and USDC * **Composable with existing DeFi:** include your yield bearing tokens within Morpho/Superform vaults you manage * **Distribution:** access to customer distribution and ability to manage capital premissionlessly * **Technology:** clear separation between protocol risk and your strategy risk You focus on generating risk-adjusted returns; the protocol handles the plumbing. If this is a good fit for you, apply here: ### What makes a good vault curator * Treat risk limits as hard rails * Build and maintain robust execution and monitoring infrastructure * Design strategies that degrade gracefully in stress, rather than all or nothing * Are willing to wind down or pivot when the edge decays ### **Approval criteria** * Clear description of the strategy and its edge * A demonstrable track record of successfully executing the strategy, or equivalent relevant experience * Defined risk profile: * Max leverage, max single-asset exposure, max drawdown, scenario assumptions * Operational details: * How trades are executed, failover plans, monitoring --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
