Successful auto-vault (AI based) setup on Krystal (15% gain in first 30 days)
I've worked with Krystal for years, always doing my own management. Over the past several months, I tried using their auto-vault, by copying others vaults. Those vaults showed enormous PnL profit, as well as crazy high APR numbers. What I found was that over time, I was still losing money (my TVL was going down). So, I began an experiment with the help of Claude AI.
I created 2 vaults, each with $250 in it. One was a rotational vault, getting the new and hot high risk pairs and trying to win big off of the quick gains. The other was an accumulation vault, getting high risk pairs that had shown over time to be more stable, then holding them no matter what unless they completely tanked.
After several weeks of this, I moved away from the rotational vault, as it was slowly bleeding me out, and fully into the accumulation vault (at that point I placed $520 of TVL in it). The crypto market has been tough the last month, with Bitcoin diving multiple times, but over that time my vault has grown to over $600 TVL without me adding anything more.
I hate how deceiving the Krystal numbers are, and it's taken me awhile to feel good enough about working with their vaults to actually work with them. Below is the link, feel free to look it over and give me any questions or comments. This is not a promotion, there is nothing to be gained for me, I'm just wanting to make sure I'm not missing something.

Obviously, there are risks involved with any defi investment. Not recommending that anybody follow my path.
