Moderate risk — institutional-grade tooling with strong distribution through Kraken, but Kraken concentration and the new STEY equity oracle gap risk add meaningful tail exposure
Top Risks
1
Kraken DeFi Earn concentration: Kraken's integration as the primary TVL driver means a platform withdrawal or regulatory action affecting Kraken could force rapid liquidation of $500M+ in DeFi positions at distressed prices
2
STEY tokenized equity oracle gap: STEY vaults rely on Chainlink equity feeds that cannot refresh during market close hours; T+1/T+2 settlement windows create a basis risk period where collateral values can gap down before liquidations can execute
3
Non-custodial vault infrastructure across 300+ strategies creates broad smart contract attack surface with institutional-scale stakes

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sentora safe to use?

Moderate risk — institutional-grade tooling with strong distribution through Kraken, but Kraken concentration and the new STEY equity oracle gap risk add meaningful tail exposure A newly merged institutional platform that manages $1.6B in crypto assets using 300+ automated strategies and 1,000+ risk models. Backed by a $25M Series A, it powers Kraken DeFi Earn and recently launched STEY — yield vaults for tokenized equities. Its B- grade reflects the growing complexity of running institutional-scale strategies across multiple chains and product lines.
What are the main risks of using Sentora?
The key risks identified for Sentora are: (1) Kraken DeFi Earn drives a large share of Sentora's $1.6B TVL. If Kraken winds down the product or faces regulatory issues, a massive forced withdrawal would hit the underlying DeFi positions all at once (2) STEY vaults use equity price oracles that stop updating when stock markets are closed. A sharp market drop on a Friday could leave vault collateral overvalued all weekend, with mass liquidations hitting on Monday morning (3) The 1,000+ risk models are trained on past data. A market event that breaks all historical patterns could cause every strategy to fail at once, hitting $1.6B in client money
