The questions partners ask us most often, answered in plain English. For anything not covered here, reach out at support@pathprotocol.finance.
No. Path is a protocol and intelligence layer. Companies and partner rails retain custody of their own stablecoins; Path produces yield signals and confidence scores that those rails consume. We do not pool capital, we do not manage capital on a discretionary basis, and we do not issue fund units.
The partner rail or custodian does. Path is non-custodial. Capital sits either in the partner’s existing custody stack (Fireblocks, Anchorage, or similar) or directly in the underlying yield protocol’s smart contracts (Aave, Morpho, Compound, Pendle). Path never holds user assets and has no withdrawal authority.
Path emits the signal and the partner rail executes the rebalance today, which keeps the trust boundary clean: the partner controls every state-changing action. Signal-driven execution is scoped per partner. On-chain signed signal output via the Chainlink CRE workflow is in flight for partners that want verifiable signal delivery on-chain.
Path earns a curator fee on capital allocated under Path-driven strategies inside partner rails. Fees are negotiated per partner and are paid out of the spread, not on top of user yield. We do not charge users directly and we do not run a token.
Custodians, modular rails, treasury platforms, on-chain asset managers, and any surface that already manages stablecoin balances on behalf of clients. The integration shape is an embeddable intelligence layer: a programmatic feed for backend consumption, a widget for end-client surfaces, or both. See Partner access for the integration patterns.
Forward-resolved results are published as a cumulative live record in the Path app, always as edge over the relevant base rate rather than a bare accuracy figure. We do not pin a static accuracy claim in docs because the cohort, the prediction horizon, and the measurement window all matter, and they update continuously. If you are evaluating Path, ask us for a snapshot scoped to your use case and we will pull the live numbers.
Ethereum mainnet today, with Base coverage rolling out. Additional EVM chains are on the roadmap and will activate as partners require coverage on them.
Aave V3 and V4, Morpho Blue, Compound V3, and Pendle, with Kamino and Spectra covered through aggregated pool data. The pool list inside each protocol updates continuously as DeFiLlama and Path’s own collectors discover new pools. The Signal Mesh page describes how each protocol’s data is ingested and scored.
Path is currently an off-chain intelligence service. There is no Path smart contract a user interacts with today. The signed signal output via the Chainlink CRE workflow will surface DON-signed contract addresses once the on-chain feed is live; those addresses will be published here when they are deployed.
Email support@pathprotocol.finance with your rail, surface, and approximate volume profile. We will route you to the right person and schedule a walkthrough scoped to your integration shape.
