CASE STUDY
EtherFi partnered with Sentora to enable single point access to generate yields across eETH DeFi ecosystem. Facing challenges in sourcing secure opportunities at scale ($100M+ to $1B+) and automating risk management, Sentora provided the strategies behind EtherFi Liquid making it the biggest vaults in DeFi in a few weeks and over $1B+ within a year. This collaboration demonstrated adaptive, institutional-grade DeFi solutions.
EtherFi is a decentralized, non-custodial liquid restaking protocol built on Ethereum that allows users to stake their ETH while maintaining liquidity and control of their assets through NFT-based validation keys. The protocol addresses a critical gap in the Ethereum staking market by offering liquid staking tokens (eETH and weETH) that enable users to earn staking rewards while simultaneously participating in DeFi activities, effectively creating a "double yield" opportunity through native Ethereum staking and EigenLayer restaking.
Launch transparent and secure yield generating vaults that beat restaking yield, base hurdle rates, and are adaptive to deployment size, risk, fees, and market conditions.
Sourcing and creating yield opportunities that are secure and consistent at size beating hurdle and restaking rate ($100M+ to $1B+)
Simultaneously deploying audited, battle tested, and institutional grade smart contracts for multiple Vaults, assets, and strategies
Automating all strategy deployments to include 24/7 risk management mitigating operational failure or any loss of funds events based on hundreds of indicators and live data at the protocol level.
Bespoke Tri-Party Vault development and deployment
Custom curation of Automated Strategy Managers across 4 vaults; BTC, ETH, Stablecoins, Katana ETH
Holistic deployments weighing different strategies against each other to balance deployments and overall risk profile
Scaled 4 Vaults from $0 to $1.4B TVL in just over 1 year
Accelerated quarterly protocol revenue by 300x from Q2 2024 to Q3 2025
Attracted 6500+ net new depositors to managed EtherFi Liquid Vaults
