kHYPE DeFi Strategy Vault, Powered by Veda
Overview of Kinetiq Earn
Kinetiq has partnered with Veda to offer the Kinetiq Earn vault, a fully automated kHYPE DeFi strategy vault that allows kHYPE stakers to have access to the highest yielding opportunities across Hyperliquid DeFi utilizing their kHYPE.
The vault is managed by Veda's in-house risk curator, Seven Seas, who manages >$4b in total value locked across all of their vaults.
Key Benefits
Automated Strategy Execution — Automated access to various DeFi protocols
Capital Efficiency — Capture yield with no manual deployment or rebalancing
Risk-Adjusted Opportunity Curation — Institutional-grade vetting and monitoring.
Veda vets each protocol by consulting with respective teams, assessing audits and general security practices, and more.
Vault Token (vkHYPE) — Earned upon deposit, represents your share of the vault
Earn kPoints — more on this here: kPoints
Earn Veda Rewards & More — the “Rewards” section is a live view of what’s earned based on existing deposits and can change at any time depending on how the vault is allocated.
All kHYPE stakers are welcome to run whatever strategy they'd like outside of Earn, therefore if you prefer a self-custodial approach, feel free to utilize your kHYPE across the various partners supporting kHYPE, you may find them on the Ecosystem page on the Kinetiq dApp.
