Gyroscope is a non-custodial DeFi liquidity protocol and issuer of the GYD stablecoin, co-founded by Ariah Klages-Mundt, Lewis Gudgeon, and Daniel Perez. Gyroscope's Twitter Score is 77 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of September 2026, ranking #10,358 (top 5%) among 486,860 tracked accounts.
Gyroscope was built by FTL Labs as the initial development team and raised $4.5M in a seed round co-led by Placeholder and Galaxy Ventures, with Maven 11, Archetype, and Robot Ventures also participating. The protocol provides concentrated-liquidity pools built into Balancer as custom pool types, with optional Aave rehypothecation integrations, and its GYD stablecoin is designed around algorithmic price bounding and diversified all-weather reserves. A yield-bearing form of GYD, sGYD, is also available, and the protocol's governance token, GYFI, launched on 18 March 2025 and can be staked for voting power in Gyroscope governance.
Gyroscope has undergone security audits from Nethermind, Runtime Verification, and Trail of Bits. In January 2023, a Balancer-vault vulnerability could have enabled a reentrancy exploit against Gyro Proto; FTL Labs reported deploying a workaround with no funds lost. On 30 January 2026, the protocol's cross-chain contract was exploited through an arbitrary-input vulnerability: per CertiK, the attacker withdrew over 6 million GYD and extracted approximately $807k of available liquidity, after which Gyroscope paused the affected liquidity pools. Active development has continued into 2026, with repository updates across GYD core and governance contracts, concentrated-liquidity pools, and sGYD.
Gyroscope has accumulated 16,313 followers as of September 2026 and has published 2,084 posts. The account has been mentioned by 115 accounts a total of 414 times.
