: Developing custom frameworks to identify vulnerabilities and safeguard users from systemic risks like liquidation failures or protocol "bank runs".

: A 2026 initiative designed to train AI-native software engineers for critical government systems, emphasizing technical capability over traditional credentials.

: Reviewing and auditing smart contract designs, specifically focusing on tokenomics, governance, and staking structures.

Gauntlet Applied Research (GAR) focuses on four primary domains to optimize on-chain ecosystems:

: Designing strategies to bootstrap liquidity and manage growth campaigns for both early-stage and established DeFi protocols. 3. Institutional Initiatives

Gauntlet bridges the gap between traditional finance and blockchain by adapting tools like and agent-based modeling to decentralized environments. Unlike static models, Gauntlet’s platform simulates strategic behaviors—such as those of arbitrageurs and liquidity providers—to predict how a protocol will react under extreme market stress. 2. Key Service Areas

Beyond DeFi, Gauntlet has expanded into high-stakes software engineering and public sector support:

: Specialized vaults that use tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs) as collateral to maximize yield through automated quantitative engines. 4. Notable Partnerships
