**Title:** Onboarding Seamless USDC Vault on Base **Author:** Shadow\_Holder **Submission Date:** 05-March-2025 initially on Discussions Category **Summary** Onboarding Seamless USDC Vault on Base Low Level strategies **Overview** Seamless Vaults on Morpho provide an optimized approach to yield generation, leveraging Morpho’s permissionless infrastructure and isolated pool design. Designed for users seeking efficient DeFi strategies, these yield-optimized vaults focus on blue-chip collateral markets. Curated by [Gauntlet](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/), a leading DeFi risk management platform, they maximize efficiency and returns while maintaining robust risk controls. **How does the vault works** The Seamless USDC Vault has, at the moment of posting, **Total Deposits 27.7M** and **Net APY 9.71%**. The vault focuses on optimizing yield and streamlining efficiencies across various blue-chip collateral markets. More info into Gauntlet’s curation approach on the [Seamless Governance Forum](https://seamlessprotocol.discourse.group/t/introducing-seamless-usdc-vaults/770). **Main Risks** As with other DeFi lending and borrowing protocols, Morpho markets can include bad debt accrual, liquidation risk, and smart contract vulnerabilities. **Specifications** **Vault Deposit Token:** USDC **Network:** Base **Contract Address:** [0x616a4E1db48e22028f6bbf20444Cd3b8e3273738](https://basescan.org/address/0x616a4E1db48e22028f6bbf20444Cd3b8e3273738) **Seamless USDC path:** [Link to vault](https://app.seamlessprotocol.com/#/vault-details/0x616a4E1db48e22028f6bbf20444Cd3b8e3273738) **Morpho UI Path:** [Link to vault](https://app.morpho.org/base/vault/0x616a4E1db48e22028f6bbf20444Cd3b8e3273738/seamless-usdc-vault) **Morpho Block Analitica:** [Link to dashboard](https://morpho.blockanalitica.com/base/vaults/vaults/0x616a4e1db48e22028f6bbf20444cd3b8e3273738?days_ago=30) **Risk Level:** TBD by Block Analitica ---

I’ll give my subjective opinion (as I have funds in that vault 😉 ) - I’m for adding it to the base USDC fleet. tagging @BlockAnalitica ---

Based on our risk model and further review, we’ve determined suitable parameters for the Seamless USDC Vault on Base. Additionally, we’ve proposed parameters for another Ark—the Morpho Moonwell USDC Vault—which we also consider safe to onboard. Below are the proposed parameters for these Arks: | Ark | Symbol/Vault | maxCap | Max. %TVL | maxInflow | maxOutflow | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | morpho | morpho\_moonwell\_usdc | 9,500,000 | 40.0% | 2,400,000 | 4,800,000 | | morpho | morpho\_seamless\_usdc | 6,200,000 | 37.0% | 2,400,000 | 4,440,000 | These parameters ensure that the Arks operate within controlled risk levels while meeting anticipated demand. ---
