Why Curators Matter in PT Markets
Curators are specialist teams who shape how PT tokens function in practice. They are responsible for:
Market Design:
Curators decide how PT markets are structured; what assets are included, what maturities are offered, and how yields are distributed.
Risk Management:
They calibrate collateral factors, liquidation thresholds, and risk frameworks to ensure PT markets remain robust even during volatility.
Innovation:
Curators are often first to experiment with new structured products, vaults, or cross-asset strategies; using PT tokens as building blocks.
In short, curators are the market makers of tokenized fixed income, turning PT tokens from an abstract instrument into usable, yield-bearing products.
Leading Curators in the PT Ecosystem
MEV Capital
MEV Capital is a leader in designing yield-bearing vaults and structured PT markets. Their expertise lies in curating products that bring institutional-style yield strategies to DeFi. By leveraging EO Network’s PT feeds, MEV ensures every market they design is transparent and verifiable, giving investors confidence in both returns and risk.
Gauntlet
Gauntlet is known for its quantitative risk modeling across major DeFi protocols. In PT markets, they apply these same models to optimize collateral efficiency and mitigate risk. EO’s manipulation-resistant data feeds underpin Gauntlet’s designs, enabling markets that are both efficient and secure for industry giants such as Swissborg.
Steakhouse & Re7
Steakhouse focuses on stablecoin and RWA collateral design, making PT tokens usable in structured lending and tokenization products. Re7 specializes in custom vaults and structured yield strategies, pushing the boundaries of what PT markets can achieve. Both rely on EO’s infrastructure to ensure their PT designs are built on accurate, immutable pricing.
Emerging Curators: Varlamore, Edge, Tulipa, Clearstar
New curators are entering the space, experimenting with niche PT markets and innovative vault structures. With EO providing production-ready PT feeds, these emerging players can launch secure and transparent markets without building data infrastructure from scratch.
EO Network: The Trust Layer for Curators
Curators can only design markets as strong as the data they rely on. This is where EO Network plays its critical role:
Secure PT feeds provide precise pricing for principal tokens across ecosystems.
On-chain proofs ensure every feed update is verifiable and immutable.
Stake-backed operators protect markets against manipulation, aligning incentives for accuracy.
By supplying curators with secure and reliable data infrastructure, EO enables them to innovate freely; confident that every PT market they design will be transparent and trustworthy.
Conclusion
Curators are the architects of PT markets, transforming PT tokens into real products that deliver fixed yield and structured returns. They bring the creativity, risk frameworks, and market design expertise that makes tokenized fixed income usable at scale.
With EO Network powering the feeds behind these markets, curators gain the trust layer they need to build institutional-grade products. Together, curators and EO are unlocking the next era of secure, transparent, and composable DeFi yield.
