USDC Autopilot
About USDC Autopilot
USDC Autopilot is a high-frequency rebalancing vault on Base with USDC as its underlying token, in which the yield is distributed. It sources yield from across several lending and yield venues and actively reallocates liquidity to the best-performing sources, keeping users positioned to the optimal yield available at any given time.
Allocations are handled by an optimisation engine powered by IPOR Labs AG and executed transparently onchain, within predefined boundaries. The engine rebalances between sub-vaults based on sustained rate trends, gas costs, and liquidity depth, and ignores short rate spikes when chasing them would cost more than it earns.
Live since March 2025. Currently indexed at $952K TVL across 768 holders, with a 5.64% 24-hour APY and 17.39% across the trailing 30 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the current APY for USDC Autopilot on Base?
USDC Autopilot on Base is showing a 24-hour APY of 5.64%, with a 30-day average of 17.39%. Rates are variable and move with market conditions, liquidity, and the underlying protocols' incentives. The figures reflect the realised yield over the trailing window; they are not a forward guarantee.
How does the Autopilot rebalance allocations?
The strategy uses an optimisation engine built by IPOR Labs AG that reallocates between sub-vaults multiple times a day. Allocation decisions factor in sustained rate trends, gas costs, and liquidity depth. Short-lived rate spikes are deliberately ignored when chasing them would cost more than they earn. Reallocations happen onchain within predefined boundaries.
Can I withdraw at any time?
There are no withdrawal periods or lockups. If the underlying strategy holds enough liquidity to satisfy the request, exits are instant. During periods of liquidity stress in the underlying sub-vaults, withdrawal capacity can be limited until liquidity returns. See the risk page for details on how this works.
Where does the yield come from?
The Autopilot sources yield from across several lending and yield venues. The income stream is a combination of lending interest paid by borrowers in those markets and protocol-level reward emissions where applicable. The mix shifts over time as the engine rebalances to the best-performing sources.
How stable has the APY been?
Over the last 30 days, this vault's APY has ranged from 14.31% to 26.36%, averaging 17.39%, with measured volatility of ±2.35%. The Strategy stability section above shows where this falls on the scale from very volatile to very consistent.
How much is currently in the vault?
The vault currently holds $952K in TVL across 768 holders. The Historical statistics section above shows how this compares to the vault's 30-day range and lifetime peak.
What are the risks?
Like any onchain yield strategy, this vault is exposed to smart contract risk in both the Harvest contracts and the underlying sub-vaults, market risk in the lending venues it routes to, and protocol-specific risks of the assets it interacts with. Harvest's core vault infrastructure was audited by Halborn in January 2025, and the Autopilot engine has been audited twice. Audits reduce but do not eliminate risk.
