Troves Review 2026: Curated Yield Vaults on Starknet

Troves is a DeFi yield aggregator on Starknet. It offers one-click vaults for BTC, ETH, STRK and USDC that invest deposits across Starknet protocols and compound the returns automatically. The platform is built by Unwrap Labs, and DefiLlama has tracked it since August 2024.

The homepage claims the strategies are curated and risk-assessed with Starknet-native teams including RE7 Labs. Supported integrations include Endur, Vesu, Ekubo and Extended. It claims more than 15,000 users, though that is the project's own figure.

DefiLlama shows about $4.6 million in TVL, down 5.7% over seven days, and no listed audits or token. That makes Troves a small, Starknet-only product whose value depends on strategy quality and the protocols underneath.

You pick a vault for an asset such as BTC, ETH, STRK or USDC and deposit into it. The vault's strategy then places the funds across Starknet protocols. The homepage names Endur for liquid staking, Vesu for lending, Ekubo for liquidity and Extended as supported integrations.

The strategies use liquid staking, lending loops and auto-compounding. A lending loop deposits collateral, borrows against it and redeposits to increase exposure, which can raise yield but adds liquidation risk. Troves says curators manage this risk automatically and that rewards are harvested and reinvested.

Strategies are curated by teams such as RE7 Labs and built by Unwrap Labs. Users choose a risk level, and the system handles rebalancing and compounding in the background.

Troves describes itself as low fee and capital-efficient, but the project does not give a fee schedule. Performance or management fees, if any, are not published in the material reviewed.

Before depositing, check the vault pages in the app and the project docs for fee, redemption and APY methodology details. Starknet network costs for transactions also apply.

Troves says it is non-custodial and that audit reports and security details are transparent. DefiLlama, however, lists no audits for the project, and the project does not name any auditor, so verify the reports in the docs before depositing.

Risk comes from several layers: Troves' own vault contracts, the underlying protocols (Endur, Vesu, Ekubo, Extended), and strategy risks such as liquidation in lending loops and APY volatility. The homepage claims no liquidation risk for users, but treat that as a marketing claim and read the strategy documentation. No hacks or incidents appear. As with any DeFi product, only deposit what you can afford to lose.

Troves is for users already on Starknet who hold BTC, ETH, STRK or USDC and want passive yield without managing positions. It is less suited to people who want a multi-chain aggregator, a governance token, or fully verified audit coverage from a third-party tracker.
