Goblin

Goblin receives a B risk grade (27/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — promising yield infrastructure for Aptos with strong backers, but early-stage status and concentrated liquidity risks warrant caution. Goblin is a yield optimization protocol on Aptos that automates concentrated liquidity strategies across DEXs and perpetual exchanges. It offers auto-compounding vaults and GoAPT, a liquid staking token that combines base staking yield with profit-sharing from vault strategies. With ~$16M TVL and $1M in strategic funding from OKX Ventures and the Aptos Foundation, it is building Aptos' yield infrastructure layer.

The key risks identified for Goblin are: (1) Automated trading strategies can lose money during volatile markets — vaults may underperform simply holding tokens (2) Funds are invested into other Aptos DeFi protocols — hacks in those protocols directly impact your vault (3) Very early-stage with no governance token — team has full control over all decisions
