Company profile
researched Aug 2026Theoriq operates as a curation layer for tokenized assets, building and managing DeFi vault strategies that convert tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and crypto collateral into risk-managed onchain yield. Two vaults are live: AlphaVault ETH, which accepts ETH, WETH and wstETH, is denominated in ETH, and sources yield from carry trades, funding rate spreads and term yield across multiple venues and chains for long-term ETH holders; and Theoriq Gold Vault, which accepts XAUt, USDC and USDT, is denominated in XAUt, and sources yield from cross-venue carry, term yield and capital-efficient loops against gold collateral, compounding in gold terms with returns stated to be independent of the gold price. The company states additional assets and vaults are planned.
The operating model separates human curation from automation: curators set strategy, define risk philosophy, approve every position, and research new opportunities, while automated systems monitor rates and liquidity across venues and chains, surface relative-value and funding dislocations, validate executions before capital moves, and carry out defensive actions such as autonomous deleveraging and health-factor defense within curator-defined rules. Risk controls described include pre-transaction validation, MPC custody and audited vaults in which curators cannot withdraw user funds, and conservative leverage limits with automated deleveraging.
Separately from the vaults, Theoriq has a native token, THQ, managed by the Theoriq Foundation, with staking and token mechanics documented in a litepaper and tokenomics page. The website states the token sits outside the vaults, which operate under their own risk and custody framework.
Business model
Theoriq curates and operates onchain vault strategies into which users deposit tokenized assets (ETH and derivatives, tokenized gold, stablecoins), with yield generated from carry, funding-rate spreads, term yield and collateralized loops. The site also references curation, partnerships and allocations as commercial conversations, and a native token, THQ, with staking managed by the Theoriq Foundation. Specific fee terms are not stated.
Traction
Two vaults are live in production. AlphaVault ETH reported a trailing 30-day APY of 4.6% and Theoriq Gold Vault 4.3%, both as of 8/07/26. The company states its vaults have run through real markets and volatility cycles with zero principal loss through every major volatility event since launch.
Latest developments
As of 2026 the site lists AlphaVault ETH and Theoriq Gold Vault as live, with the Gold Vault extending the model from crypto collateral to tokenized gold and other real-world assets, and further asset coverage planned.

Market position
Positions itself as a curation layer for tokenized real-world assets, describing its vaults as top-ranked and in production, with AlphaVault ETH presented as the proof of the model on crypto collateral and the Gold Vault as its extension to tokenized RWAs.
Frames risk management as the product rather than a feature, pairing human curator approval of every position with automation limited to monitoring, execution validation and defensive risk response, alongside MPC custody, audited vaults, conservative leverage limits and a stated record of zero principal loss.
Technology
The platform combines curator-controlled strategy design with autonomous software that monitors rates and liquidity across venues and chains, identifies relative-value and funding dislocations, validates each transaction before capital is deployed, and executes defensive deleveraging and health-factor protection. Custody uses MPC and audited vault contracts under which curators cannot withdraw user funds.
Go-to-market
Direct distribution through its own web app and vault pages, supported by an ecosystem of DeFi and infrastructure partners, a token and staking program, and content channels including a blog, litepaper, X, LinkedIn and Discord.
