Our verdict on Quasar Vaults
4.5/10Quasar Vaults was an IBC-focused yield platform on Osmosis and Ethereum, but it is now being wound down as the project becomes Tower.fi. The main value today is for existing depositors, who can withdraw from the My Dashboard page, and for QSR holders who need the TWR migration. New users should not deposit into the deprecated vaults. The main caveat is that audit evidence and fee details are not published on the app, so anyone interested in the successor should research Tower.fi independently.

What is Quasar Vaults?
Quasar Vaults was a yield and asset-management product on Osmosis and Ethereum. It described itself as a decentralized asset management platform built around IBC, aiming to offer diversified, composable interchain DeFi.
The app now carries a notice that Quasar is Tower.fi and that its vaults will be deprecated soon. Users are told to withdraw funds from the My Dashboard page. The app also links to a QSR to TWR token migration and a Tower announcement.
Tracked TVL is about $55.8K, down 12.2% over the past week, and the project has been tracked since June 2023. That is small, which fits a product being retired. This page is useful mainly for existing users and for anyone tracing what happened to the project.
How Quasar Vaults works
Quasar vaults were smart contracts that pooled user deposits and ran yield strategies. A user deposited an asset, received a claim on the vault, and the strategy tried to earn returns across DeFi venues. The pitch was that this could be done across chains using IBC, the protocol that lets Cosmos-based chains pass messages and tokens to each other.
The docs say vaults can be created through a pre-deployed factory contract that was developed and audited by the Quasar core team and other security partners. Which strategies each vault used, and how returns were calculated, is not detailed on the homepage.
The product is now in wind-down. The homepage says vaults will be deprecated soon and tells users to withdraw funds from the dashboard. The project has rebranded as Tower.fi, and its QSR token moves to TWR.

Pros and cons
What we like
- Clear on-page notice tells users to withdraw funds before deprecation
- Withdrawals are handled through a dedicated My Dashboard page
- Docs state vaults came from a factory contract described as audited by the core team and security partners
- Permissionless, IBC-based design offered an early interchain approach to yield
- A migration path exists for QSR holders
Watch out for
- The vaults are being deprecated, so the product is no longer a place to deposit new funds
- The brand has moved to Tower.fi, so the Quasar app is a wind-down and migration page
- TVL is small, about $55.8K, and fell 12.2% over seven days
- DefiLlama lists no audits for the protocol, and the audit details are not shown on the app homepage
- Interchain vault strategies carry smart-contract, bridge and counterparty risk
- The QSR token is being migrated to TWR, which adds an extra step for holders
Quasar Vaults fees
Fees are not published on the app homepage. Vault fee terms, such as performance or management fees, would appear on individual vault pages or in the docs, and they are not stated in the information available here.
Users withdrawing funds will also pay network transaction fees on the relevant chain. Those vary by network and are set by the chain, not by Quasar.
Is Quasar Vaults safe?
The docs describe the vault factory contract as developed and audited by the Quasar core team and other security partners. DefiLlama lists no audits for the protocol, and the audit reports are not shown on the app homepage, so readers cannot verify the claim.
Beyond audits, vault users face smart-contract risk, strategy risk and bridge or interchain risk. With the product being deprecated, the main practical risk is leaving funds in vaults after support ends. Withdraw promptly and only use the official app domain, since rebrands attract phishing attempts. Regulatory status and team details are not published on the homepage.
