CoinDesk 20 performance update: Aptos (APT) gains 4.4% as nearly all assets rise

April 30, 2026 – Sentora has announced that Sentora Smart Yield is now publicly available, opening access to its DeFi vault discovery and monitoring platform to all users.As DeFi vaults become a core way capital moves onchain, Sentora is opening public access to the same research-led yield infrastructure it has used to support institutional deployments.This comes as vaults have become a key part of DeFi infrastructure, and risk curators already account for nearly $7 billion in DeFi capital through curated vault structures.The success of this model has been driven in large part by its ability to give users a simpler way to access onchain strategies while abstracting away much of the complexity of risk management.With nearly $2 billion allocated across Sentora’s public vaults, the firm has become the largest public vault curator and works with key ecosystem partners such as Kraken, Upshift and Morpho.Automated risk management, advanced strategy design and in-depth research have been central to Sentora’s rapid growth in this market segment.The new platform means that the company is extending that same research-led framework to the public through a transparent, non-custodial interface built around strategy discovery, analytics and risk visibility.Rather than functioning as another simple APY screen, Sentora Smart Yield is designed to help users understand the structure behind opportunities before they act.Through the platform, users can compare vaults by asset, chain, strategy, APY, and risk metrics, while also reviewing how each vault is constructed. This is where capital is allocated and what exposures come with the strategy before interacting with the underlying vault contracts.“Vaults are becoming one of the main ways capital is organized and deployed across DeFi, but most products still reduce that experience to a single number,” said Jesus Rodriguez, co-founder and CPO at Sentora.“With Smart Yield, we’re bringing the same strategy framework we’ve built for institutional partners to the public, but in a format that gives users real transparency into how a vault works, where funds go and what risks they are taking before they deposit.”Sentora Smart Yield also includes two core vault categories, Direct Vaults and Smart Vaults. Direct Vaults provide simpler, single-strategy exposure, typically through lending markets, and are designed to offer a cleaner, lower-complexity path to onchain yield.Smart Vaults are more structured products that use multi-step capital deployment to pursue greater capital efficiency or enhanced returns through strategies, such as Supervised Loans and Leveraged Loops.By making these strategies visible through a public dashboard, Sentora is bringing part of its more advanced institutional strategy set to a broader market for the first time.In addition, each vault page includes analytics and monitoring tools designed to help users evaluate opportunities in greater detail.These include historical yield behavior, TVL trends, liquidity conditions, withdrawal simulations, wallet concentration and strategy composition. For Smart Vaults, users can also view underlying deployments by protocol, blockchain and asset, giving them a clearer picture of how capital is allocated across the full strategy stack.Sentora has also shared plans to bring DeFi Cover to all of its vaults, leveraging the Firelight protocol to add an additional protection layer for onchain asset deployments.The result is a public product shaped by institutional requirements, not just access to DeFi yield but with the tools to assess it with greater discipline too.As vaults continue to grow as an interface for onchain capital allocation, Sentora is positioning Smart Yield around a simple idea – yield discovery should come with structure, transparency and risk context, not just headline returns.Sentora Smart Yield is available now at vaults.sentora.com.About SentoraSentora is a DeFi infrastructure and strategy partner serving institutional and sophisticated onchain capital allocators.
