Description

The vault collateralizes cbBTC on Aave to earn amplified interest differentials on borrowed ETH.

By collateralizing the cbBTC deposit, the vault is able to borrow ETH with a 20% liquidation buffer while earning a minor cbBTC supply interest.

Borrowed ETH is swapped for cbETH to create a 3.5x leveraged cbETH:ETH position on Aave that earns amplified interest differentials between cbETH liquid staking yields and ETH borrow costs.
