Weekly Commentary

Pro

Week of March 3, 2026

Felix Vaults sits in the Weak quadrant with a Value D grade that signals poor fee capture and token economics relative to the risk you're taking on at C+. At $91M TVL, the protocol lacks the scale to justify its middling risk profile — you're accepting meaningful smart contract and mechanism exposure without corresponding value accrual. There are better risk-adjusted options in the Yield sector; Felix needs a material improvement in tokenomics before it deserves capital allocation.
