# Allocator & Curator Selection

> Compare and select vault curators on evidence — track record, fees, allocations, and cap history — through the API.

When you allocate through curated vaults, you are really choosing a curator. This workflow compares curators on their actual on-chain history rather than their marketing.

## The workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="List and profile curators">
    `GET /v2/curators` enumerates the curators Alterscope tracks; `GET /v2/curators/{addr}` returns a single curator's profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the track record">
    `GET /v2/curators/{addr}/track-record` summarizes how a curator has managed risk over time — the evidence base for trusting them with capital.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Compare economics and behavior">
    `GET /v2/curators/{addr}/fee-history`, `…/allocations`, and `…/cap-timeline` show what they charge, where they deploy, and how they've moved supply caps — so you can compare two curators on fees, concentration, and how conservatively they manage limits.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you learn

An evidence-based ranking: which curator's history, fee profile, and allocation discipline best fit your mandate — and which carry concentration or fee patterns you'd avoid. Pair this with [pre-deposit due diligence](/use-cases/pre-deposit-vault-due-diligence) on the specific vaults a curator runs.

Every response carries [freshness and quality](/trust/data/freshness-and-quality) metadata; full request/response detail is in the [API reference](/api-reference/overview).
