Institutional discipline, brought onchain.

Numbers alone don’t survive DeFi.

Clearstar is a Swiss risk curation firm built to make onchain yield viable at institutional scale. We come from traditional finance, and we founded Clearstar in 2022 to bring the rigor, structure, and risk discipline we knew there to a market that badly needed it. We had watched too many systems fail not because the math was wrong, but because no one asked who controlled them or how they behaved under stress. So we built the firm we wished existed: one that treats structural judgment as the foundation, not an afterthought.

Structure and risk first. Returns second.

It’s the principle everything at Clearstar is built around, and it reflects our Swiss roots: a culture of safety, precision, and quiet excellence. We’d rather understand what can break before we model what can be earned, so structure and risk always come first and returns follow. That discipline shapes how we think, how we work, and the kind of partners we choose.

We don’t just monitor risk. We help fix it.

As curators, our job doesn’t end at flagging what’s wrong. When we find weaknesses in a protocol, we work with teams to improve them, because safer systems benefit everyone in the ecosystem, not just the capital we curate. We see ourselves as partners to the protocols we assess, raising the standard of risk across DeFi rather than quietly stepping around it.

What we optimize for says who we are.

We don’t chase headline yield, and we never have. We optimize for resilience, clarity, and capital preservation, because we believe sustainable returns begin with systems that can survive their worst day. That belief is the throughline behind every assessment we publish and every strategy we run. If you bring capital or distribution, [we’re the team that] handles the complexity behind it.
