Vaults have become one of the most important primitives in DeFi. By separating protocol infrastructure from allocation logic, they introduced a more flexible model for onchain capital management. Instead of forcing all capital into a single shared pool, vaults made it possible to define distinct risk profiles, strategies, and exposure preferences on top of the same underlying markets.

But while the vault model has scaled, the way many vaults are managed still depends heavily on human discretion. Curators monitor markets, assess collateral quality, track utilization, and rebalance exposure as conditions change. In fast-moving environments, that process can quickly become a bottleneck.

At Sentora, we believe the next evolution of vault management is intelligent risk curation. As market complexity increases, effective allocation depends on the ability to process more signals, react faster, and evaluate risk continuously rather than periodically. This opens the door to a new model, where data-driven systems help curators move from manual oversight to systematic, adaptive decision making.

In this session, Sentora co-founders Jesus Rodriguez and Anthony DeMartino explore how intelligent risk curation will reshape vault management across DeFi. We will discuss the transition from discretionary allocation to rule-based automation and model-driven decision systems, and why the vault of the future will need both stronger risk awareness and lower reaction latency.
