01 / The Market Snapshot

Institutional dashboard

A point-in-time view of Concrete’s public platform scale. The dashboard is dated so the reader can distinguish this historical snapshot from live application data.

Reading the dashboard

Scale can show that a platform is being used. It does not, by itself, prove that one vault has better risk-adjusted performance than another.

Data as of September 8, 2026

This edition reports a dated research snapshot, not a real-time investment recommendation.

02 / Concrete Vault Board

Yield types stay separate

Live APY, 7-day APY, target APY and private APY answer different questions. They are displayed together for visibility, not combined into a single ranking.

Raw APY is only the opening number

Headline yield is not the whole product. A professionally curated strategy may also include selection, execution, monitoring, reporting and risk controls. Those services do not automatically make a yield superior, but they change what the investor is evaluating.

The Concrete figure in this comparison is the September 7, 2026 7-day APY snapshot. It differs from the September 8 app snapshot in the vault board. APY is not normalized into a quality score, and higher APY can reflect higher risk, lower liquidity or different strategy exposure.

04 / TradFi Benchmark

Headline spread, not risk-adjusted premium

Headline yield differential

7.48% − 4.79% = +2.69 percentage points. This is a simple arithmetic spread between two dated observations, not a risk-adjusted premium.

Different risk profiles

DeFi yield may reflect smart-contract, protocol, stablecoin, liquidity, utilization, strategy and operational risks. A Treasury yield reflects a different instrument, market and sovereign-credit framework. Comparing the numbers can provide context; it does not make the risks equivalent.

05 / Curation Market

The market for professional selection

Vaults.fyi’s State of DeFi Curation 2026 describes a growing market around curated on-chain strategies. The figures below describe the dataset; the quote is a separately attributed company insight.

06 / What Are You Paying For?

The service behind the rate

Use the controls to inspect the operating layers that may sit behind a professionally curated vault. APY alone cannot capture these attributes.

Strategy selection

Selecting a strategy is not the same as selecting the highest visible APY. It can involve liquidity, protocol design, counterparty exposure, capacity and mandate fit.
