In 2022, DeFi vaults had no way to access treasury yields onchain when rates hit 5.5%.
Today, protocols can reallocate $100M+ into USDS instantly with zero slippage.
@omgcorn from @yearnfi on how far DeFi infrastructure has come.
RWAs flopped in 2017. They're scaling now in 2026. What changed?
@0x4Graham from @centrifuge on bringing real-world assets from Janus Henderson and S&P onchain, why institutional capital is finally flowing, and DeFi's path to the next 10x.
New Beyond Yield episode.
Lending protocols currently set collateral ratios through manual governance.
@particula_io's PDARP makes those decisions reactive: risk scores, reserve verification, and pricing signals updating continuously.
Smart contracts query the data and execute automatically.
DIA deployed a Proof of Reserves oracle for @tokenGBP, a top 5 non-USD stablecoin backed 1:1 by GBP reserves.
The feed prices tGBP from actual reserve backing rather than thin secondary market trades. Live on Ethereum, expanding to five more chains where tGBP is deployed.
Receipt tokens are DeFi's core building block.
Deposit → receive token → use it as collateral → receive another token → loop again.
@omgcorn from @yearnfi on why onchain assets unlock liquidity inaccessible in TradFi.
Pendle controls 50%+ of DeFi's yield trading market with zero meaningful competitors.
@ddangledan from @pendle_fi on their journey to $1B+ TVL, low slippage, the Kelp validator-spoof hack, and bringing TradFi's interest rate swap market onchain.
New episode of Beyond Yield.
14 years as a payments network. Now @litecoin gets smart contracts.
@LitecoinVM testnet is live with DIA oracles already integrated for BTC, LTC, ETH. Lending markets, DEXs, yield vaults can deploy immediately.
Litecoin just became a DeFi chain.
"Every TradFi organization with a crypto desk is looking at vaults."
@aya_kantor on why 2026 is the year: vaults are cheaper and operationally more seamless than traditional overhead.
The infrastructure gap: accounting frameworks and NAV reporting validated by top firms like Deloitte and KPMG.
Steakhouse runs 100+ Aragon DAOs, one per vault, with optimistic governance.
Any depositor with $1 can veto a curator decision during the timelock window. @SebVentures explains how depositor governance works at scale without blocking operational efficiency.
"Everyone wants to do something. That's very clear."
@SebVentures on institutional demand for DeFi vaults: workshops full of TradFi teams ready to deploy, but internal approvals and compliance frameworks will take years.
We're still at early innings for institutional adoption.
DeFi's original vault platform runs an AI agent reallocating capital across Morpho, Aave, Fluid, and USDS.
@omgcorn from @yearnfi explains how it survived <1% DeFi rates while treasuries ran 5.5%, and why autonomous systems need hard constraints.
New episode of Beyond Yield.
Struggling to navigate the DeFi yield landscape?
We mapped 650+ protocols across 6 layers so you don't have to. Every vault, risk curator, asset issuer, yield optimizer - all with live onchain data.

"Risk curation isn't about eliminating risk. It's about transparency."
@SebVentures breaks down how @SteakhouseFi structures vaults: prime tier for blue chip collateral, high yield tier for exotic assets.
Different risk profiles, clear frameworks, informed depositors.
"When you platform specific tokens or strategies, you are marketing them to users. You take on responsibility."
@aya_kantor on @upshift_fi's vault asset due diligence: secondary liquidity depth analysis, wallet holder concentration checks, prime desk compliance validation, and direct issuer verification.
That systematic process kept them from Stream Finance and Elixir exposure entirely.
DIA is partnering with @tokos_fi, the foundational lending protocol on @Somnia_Network.
Tokos will be migrating its core price feeds to DIA oracles, strengthening the oracle layer that underpins every borrow, liquidation, and Health Factor calculation on the protocol.
Here's what this means.
"You cannot outsource risk."
@aya_kantor built @upshift_fi to $300M+ on a clear premise: as Tradfi moves into vaults, self-reported NAV is insufficient and verification infrastructure is non-negotiable.
Crypto must meet institutional standards.
New episode of Beyond Yield.
DIA now sources market data from @OndoFinance Global Markets.
200+ tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs. $500M+ TVL. The largest tokenized equities platform by market share.
Protocols can now access verifiable pricing for Ondo GM tokens through DIA oracle feeds.
