Gami Labs
Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.
Gami Labs runs on-chain asset-management vaults with active curation and dynamic risk management across multiple chains including Stellar, Ethereum, and Base. The DefiLlama API read on 2026-08-15 showed about $52M TVL, below our $100M materiality line. Rejected on size: an advisory book moved into a venue this size on the same research becomes the exit crush, whatever the vaults’ quality. If it crosses the line and holds, the reopened memo would apply the same test we put to every curated vault: whether the curator’s mandate and current allocations are disclosed well enough to underwrite the delegation.
- TVL sustained above $100M for 30 days
The research file
Mechanism applicability
Gami describes itself as an onchain vault curator and asset manager. Depositors enter vaults whose assets are actively allocated and rebalanced across lending markets, fixed-income venues, liquidity pools and incentive programs. That protocol-specific mechanism establishes that Gami is an investable vault venue whose tracked capital is relevant to the v1 below-materiality dossier; it does not establish that any strategy is approved.
Protocol-specific evidence boundary
Gami’s current site names Aave, Morpho, Silo, Curve, Pendle and Spectra among its permitted strategy venues and describes monitoring and multisignature or MPC operational controls. A live vault page also exposes strategy allocation and fee fields. This class application records those facts only to identify active delegated allocation. It does not validate mandates, authorities, valuation, audits, incidents, insurance or each underlying protocol.
Current observation and exit relevance
The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-08-15 reported approximately $52.0M across Gami-curated vaults, with Ethereum and Stellar the largest components. At that size, an advised sleeve could be material to the reported venue. Because allocations are actively managed, withdrawal capacity also depends on each vault’s settlement design and the liquidity of its current positions, neither of which is passed by this size-gated application.
Why the shared dossier decides
Gami is below the v1 dossier’s $100M materiality threshold, so the protocol is rejected on capacity before individual vault underwriting. Review reopens only after the same tracked Gami perimeter remains at or above $100M for 30 consecutive days. That event triggers, but does not satisfy, a vault-by-vault review of mandate, allocations, authorities, valuation, fees, incidents and stressed redemption.

The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls
The verdict above grades the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The least safe layer sets the position’s grade, and the position table names which one that is.
| Chain | Verdict | Grade | Control constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stellar | Rejected | freezable | freeze is native at every level: issuers hold revocation and clawback flags on their assets, and since Protocol 26 the validator quorum can vote to freeze specific accounts and trustlines on-chain (CAP-77). |
| Ethereum | Approved | sovereign | No sequencer, no upgrade key, no operator who can be compelled — rule changes require social consensus. |
| Base | Approved · limits | hybrid | Coinbase — one regulated US company — operates the only sequencer, and admin keys can upgrade bridge contracts within ~7 days. |
| Flare | Approved · limits | crypto-backed | consensus entry is permissionless, but the Foundation monopolizes governance proposals and manually executes some approved changes. |
| Avalanche | Approved · limits | crypto-backed | no party can freeze or seize C-Chain funds, but one vendor writes the only production client and Messari measured over a third of stake hosted on AWS. |
| Robinhood Chain | Rejected | hybrid | one sequencer and two permissioned validators sit beneath an emergency council and transaction filter that can defeat the normal force-inclusion backstop. |
