Vaults.fyi Review 2026: A Yield Discovery Hub for DeFi Vaults

Vaults.fyi is a web app for finding and comparing yield-bearing DeFi vaults. Its Discover page lists vaults from protocols such as Aave v3, Lido, ether.fi, Spark, Ethena and Rocket Pool, along with vaults run by curators like Steakhouse Financial, Sentora and SparkDAO.

The page showed 32 pages of vaults, covering networks including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Plasma, Ink and Robinhood Chain. In the snapshot reviewed, the largest listed vault was Lido stETH at about $23.59B TVL, followed by ether.fi eETH at about $5.52B and Aave v3 WETH at about $5.05B.

Beyond the table, the app has sections for borrowing, tracking positions, analytics and bridging funds. The project also sells access to its data through an API and says companies such as Kraken, Jumper, Gauntlet, kpk and Maple use it for data, transaction payloads and portfolio tracking.

Vaults.fyi collects data from DeFi protocols that pay yield on deposited crypto. These include lending markets like Aave v3, liquid staking tokens like Lido stETH, savings products like Savings USDS, and curated vaults run by groups such as Steakhouse Financial and Sentora. Each vault is shown in one table with its token, network, TVL, number of holders and yield.

A vault is a smart contract that takes a deposit, puts it to work in a strategy such as lending or staking, and returns a share token that grows or earns yield over time. A curator is the party that chooses the strategy and risk limits. The yield column shows an average over a period you pick, and the table notes when yield data was last updated.

After connecting a wallet, users can view positions across protocols, find idle tokens and start deposits through the app. The site also exposes the same data and transaction payloads through an API for companies that want to build their own products.

The project does not publish a fee schedule on the pages reviewed. Whether vaults.fyi adds its own charge on transactions is not stated.

Users should expect network gas on every deposit, withdrawal or bridge, plus whatever management or performance fees the underlying vault or curator sets. These are normally shown on each vault's own page or in the protocol's documentation.

Vaults.fyi presents vaults rather than running them, so the main risks sit in the underlying protocols and curators. Smart-contract bugs, stablecoin depegs, liquidation losses and curator errors are all possible, and a vault's size or listing does not remove them. The pages reviewed do not publish audits, a security contact or a team, so users should look up the audits and track record of each vault they use.

The homepage does not state a custody model or regulatory status. Normally apps like this connect to a user's own wallet and the user signs each transaction, but check what each approval allows before signing. Revoke approvals you no longer need.

It suits intermediate DeFi users who already hold stablecoins, ETH or BTC and want to compare where yield is available, as well as developers and funds that need vault data or transaction payloads. Complete beginners can browse it, but should learn how lending, staking and vault risks work before depositing.
