What matters most before choosing in this category
The best aggregator depends on how many protocols you are willing to be exposed to, because an aggregator is a claim on everything its strategies route into — you hold its risk plus theirs. Losses count whether the bug was in its own code or in something it integrated, since the depositor loses either way. And retirement rate says more about strategy durability than any APY: one provider here has retired 3,471 of the 4,028 vaults it ever launched.
Key question
How many underlying protocols are you willing to inherit risk from?
Key question
Has this aggregator ever lost funds — including through a protocol it merely integrated?
Key question
How quickly can the strategy change under you, and who authorises it?

Convex Finance
Boosted Curve LP staking; deposits route into Curve gauges
Data checked Aug 2026
Boosted Curve LP staking; deposits route into Curve gauges. Strongest on inherited dependency surface (9/10): Narrowest route in the set: the docs corpus mentions Curve 71 times and Frax 70; a deposited Curve LP goes to a Curve gauge and nowhere else. But the docs still carry a full 'Convex for Prisma Finance' section and cvxPRISMA guidance after Prisma was exploited for $11.6M on 28 Mar 2024 via its MigrateTroveZap flashloan… Weakest on who can change the strategy, and how fast (6/10): Routing is effectively fixed, so little changes under you. But vlCVX governance is advisory, not binding: "Convex Finance multi-sig is still required to sign to establish outcomes of all CVX Snapshot votes, for both governance and Curve gauge weight votes" and proposals it deems "blatant attacks" will not be signed. Published price: Total Fee: 17% of CRV revenue — 10% to cvxCRV stakers (paid as CRV), 4.5% to CVX stakers (paid as cvxCRV), 2% to Treasury (paid as CRV), 0.5% to harvest caller (paid as CRV). "Fees are taken only from CRV revenue; no fees are taken from tokens from…

Main tradeoff
TVL is $455.2M against a peak of $21.17B on 5 Jan 2022 — a 97.9% drawdown. You are buying concentrated, undiversified exposure to Curve's continued existence, from a protocol whose own docs still describe an integration (Prisma) that died two years ago.

Beefy
Multichain auto-compounding vaults across 32 underlying platforms
Multichain auto-compounding vaults across 32 underlying platforms. Strongest on total take-rate and whether it is published (8/10): 4.05% published to 0.05% granularity with all four recipients named, and fees are baked into displayed APY. Marked down because BIP:45 permits "up to 9.5%" on newer vaults — a headline rate the footnote allows to more than double — plus up to 0.1% withdrawal and 0.05% zap. Weakest on inherited dependency surface (2/10): Widest surface in the category, measured from Beefy's own API: 557 active vaults across 15 chains routing into 32 distinct underlying platforms — aerodrome (206 vaults), velodrome (61), pancakeswap (46), convex (44), morpho (38), stakedao (34), curve (23), uniswap (21), aave (10). Depositing in 'Beefy' tells you… Published price: Standard vault structure charges 4.05% total: 3.0% to $BIFI token holders, 0.5% to Beefy's treasury, 0.5% to the vault strategist, 0.05% to the harvest caller. Newer vaults may charge "up to 9.5% performance fee" following BIP:45. Standard vaults without…

Origin (OUSD / OETH / ARM)
Rebasing yield tokens routing into Morpho, Curve and SSV staking
Rebasing yield tokens routing into Morpho, Curve and SSV staking. Strongest on total take-rate and whether it is published (7/10): A single flat 20% across OUSD, OETH, Super OETH and ARM Vaults, stated on each product page with net-of-fee APYs — the simplest structure here, and also the highest headline rate, roughly 5x Beefy's 4.05% standard and 2.5x CIAN's 8%. Weakest on loss record, own code and inherited (3/10): Own-code failure: on 17 Nov 2020 a reentrancy bug combined with a flash loan forced a rebase that inflated OUSD supply, and $7M was drained including over $1M deposited by Origin and its founders and employees. OUSD lost 46% of its value. The current OUSD documentation page makes no mention of this incident. Published price: "Origin charges a 20% performance fee on yield generated on OUSD", deducted before distributions reach depositors and not applied to principal. The same 20% applies to Origin Ether, Super OETH and ARM Vaults. Displayed APYs are net of the fee.
