protocol identification
two sourcesSentora is an institutional DeFi “risk curator” and yield vault platform, not a single lending/AMM protocol. It operates non‑custodial vaults that allocate capital into other DeFi protocols under an institutional risk framework. ### Identification
- Name: Sentora
- Website: sentora.com (institutional platform), with a separate vault info site at resources.vaults.sentora.com
- Docs: No canonical “docs” site surfaced; product information is spread across the main site (platform, research, case studies) and the Smart Yield vault portal.
- Category: Risk curators / institutional vaults — provides curated yield strategies, risk management, and coverage.
- Launch date: Not explicitly stated; third‑party trackers show Sentora listed as a live protocol by March 2025, implying launch no later than early 2025. Any precise launch date is Not verifiable as of 2026‑09‑04.
- Chains:
- Ethereum: repeatedly referenced as the main deployment for vaults (e.g., EtherFi, Morpho, Euler, RWA strategies).
- Solana: mentioned as a chain where Sentora vaults operate and as a leading TVL share in some data trackers.
- Trackers disagree on supported chains (2 vs 4 chains, including non‑standard names like “Ink” and “Tempo”). Exact chain list beyond Ethereum and Solana is Not verifiable as of 2026‑09‑04.
- Native token: No clear evidence of a live, freely traded native protocol token. One site references a “STEY tokenized equity product,” which appears to be a structured/tokenized equity offering rather than a standard utility/governance token. Native token status is therefore Not verifiable as of 2026‑09‑04. ### Main contracts & verification
- Public sources describe vaults across Morpho, Kamino, Euler, and other underlying protocols, but do not surface canonical Sentora contract addresses or an on‑chain “SentoraVault” style factory.
- Yield dashboards (e.g., Solana yield listings for a “sentora” pool) show APY and TVL but do not link verified contract addresses.
- Without direct contract IDs or explorer pages tied unambiguously to Sentora, main contract addresses and their verification status are Not verifiable as of 2026‑09‑04. ### Fork lineage & codebase
- Sentora is consistently described as an institutional strategy / vault curator using other protocols, not as a fork of a specific AMM, lending, or restaking protocol.
- No evidence it is a fork of Aave, Morpho, Lido, EtherFi, etc.; instead, it builds strategies on top of them.
- No public repository or audit report clearly describing a forked codebase; audits and bug‑bounty details for any proprietary smart contracts are Not verifiable as of 2026‑09‑04.
- Consequently, no malicious‑modification history in similar forks can be established from current public data. ### Contradictions (call‑out)
- Chain & TVL coverage:
- Mantapex: 2 chains (Ethereum, Solana), ~$1.7B TVL, 74% on Ethereum.
- MrDeFi: 4 chains, led by Solana, plus “Ink” and “Tempo,” different TVL split.
- Octopus & OakResearch show other chain/TVL figures, including implausible $41B+ TVL on “ETEthereum.” These conflicting aggregator numbers cannot be reconciled without direct on‑chain querying, so all TVL and chain‑coverage figures remain aggregator‑only and Not verifiable as of 2026‑09‑04.
