Why did YO choose @GearboxProtocol ETH as a source of yield for yoETH? ✅ ETH-denominated yield from borrower interest. ✅ @kpk_io-curated market with institutional risk oversight ✅ Isolated markets and capped collateral exposure. Exponential rates Gearbox ETH as "low risk" (B).

Depositors in Gearbox ETH are lenders, not leveraged traders. Yield comes from interest paid by borrowers, while liquidations apply to borrower positions, not to depositors. Risk still exists, but it’s explicit, bounded, and managed at the pool level.

That assessment reflects strong fundamentals across the asset, protocol, and chain layers: ETH strength, Ethereum maturity, governance safeguards, and audited, battle-tested code from both Gearbox and Ethereum. This is exactly the profile YO looks for when whitelisting pools.
