DeFi Companies

Superform Labs operates an onchain yield aggregation platform that routes user deposits across 800+ earning opportunities spanning multiple DeFi protocols and blockchains. Its core product, SuperVaults, automatically optimizes yield allocation across assets like USDC, abstracting away cross-chain complexity such as bridging, RPC switching, and token swapping. The platform holds over $130M in deposits and competes on yield against traditional savings vehicles, citing a 7.61% APY benchmark versus bank rates near 0.50%. Security is emphasized through multiple independent audits, and the protocol supports both same-chain and cross-chain deposits and withdrawals in a single interface.

Techemynt is a New Zealand-based issuer of fully backed, redeemable digital assets, operating three core products: NZDS (a New Zealand Dollar stablecoin), GoldNZ (a tokenized gold product backed by physical bullion in New Zealand vaults), and SilverNZ (a tokenized silver product offering fractional ownership of allocated silver). Each token is designed to be minted, held, traded, or deployed in DeFi contexts, targeting payments, settlement, treasury management, and digital market participants across the Pacific region and beyond. The platform positions New Zealand's regulatory transparency and low-corruption ranking as a jurisdictional differentiator relative to other tokenization hubs such as Singapore or Switzerland. Primary users include institutions, traders, and individuals seeking stable or commodity-backed digital assets without direct exposure to crypto-native volatility.

Tenet is a blockchain platform focused on the liquid staking derivatives finance (LSDfi) sector, offering a suite of DeFi products built around yield-bearing collateral assets. Its core product is LSDC, a stablecoin backed exclusively by liquid staking derivatives (LSDs), designed to address capital efficiency, decentralization, and scalability simultaneously. The protocol uses a Diversified Proof of Stake consensus mechanism that allows users to stake both the native TENET token and LSDs from external networks, broadening participation in governance and network security. A vote-escrow system converts locked TENET into veTENET, granting holders governance rights and a share of protocol fees. The ecosystem also includes Meta LSDs, a DEX, a bridge built on LayerZero technology, and a restaking module, targeting DeFi users seeking compounded yield on staked assets.

Thales Markets is a decentralized protocol built on Optimism that offers permissionless parimutuel and digital options markets, allowing users to take directional positions (UP, DOWN, IN, OUT) on crypto asset prices over defined time horizons. The protocol's core mechanic is parimutuel pricing, where payouts are determined by the pool of participants rather than a traditional order book or AMM. Digital options on the main Thales platform have been deprecated, with the project pivoting toward Speed Markets (short-duration price prediction) and Overtime, a decentralized sports prediction market. The protocol uses the THALES token for governance and incentives, and targets DeFi-native traders seeking non-custodial, on-chain derivatives exposure without counterparty risk.

Tharwa is a decentralized finance protocol providing treasury infrastructure for institutional and retail participants across conventional and Islamic finance markets through a single on-chain platform. The protocol offers stablecoins (thUSD), fixed-term vaults, yield-bearing tokens (sthUSD, wsthUSD), and structured lending facilities. Its architecture employs a dual-lane system that segregates Shariah-compliant strategies from conventional ones, allowing users to select products aligned with their requirements. The platform integrates with cross-chain infrastructure providers, yield trading protocols, and centralized exchange distribution channels. The protocol operates a native token designated TRWA and maintains integrations with external partners for expanded functionality and accessibility.

Thetanuts Finance is an on-chain options protocol offering fully collateralized option contracts backed 100% by locked collateral, eliminating counterparty risk. Its core infrastructure includes an on-chain limit order book (OptionBook) with partial fills and immediate execution, and an RFQ system (OptionFactory) using a commit-reveal scheme to prevent front-running on customized options. The protocol deploys non-upgradeable contracts across multiple chains using deterministic deployment nonces for consistent cross-chain addresses, and uses TWAP oracles for manipulation-resistant settlement. Beyond the core protocol, Thetanuts operates a broader ecosystem ('Thetaverse') including Odette (structured options trading), Zend Finance (zero-liquidation borrowing), and Flys.bet (lottery-style products), with additional products like Kairos Markets and a perp/options dApp listed as coming soon.

Tori Finance is a DeFi yield protocol that issues trUSD, a synthetic dollar backed by delta-neutral and market-neutral trading strategies including futures arbitrage, calendar spreads, and short-duration money market instruments. Users swap USDC or USDT for trUSD, then stake it to receive strUSD, a yield-bearing token that automatically accumulates returns from these strategies, targeting approximately 15% APY. Smart contracts are audited by Sherlock and monitored by Hypernative, with real-time proof-of-reserves transparency. Partners and backers visible on the site include Delphi, LayerZero, and QInvest, and the protocol raised a Seed round announced in early 2026.

Trillion Network is a stablecoin issuer headquartered in Singapore that operates a fully-collateralised digital payments network built on distributed ledger technology. The company issues three fiat-pegged stablecoins: TNUSD (US dollar), TNSGD (Singapore dollar), and TNEUR (Euro), each redeemable 1:1 with the corresponding fiat currency and backed by cash and high-quality cash equivalents held with licensed banks and financial custodians. Reserves are independently attested monthly by third-party auditors, and token contracts undergo security audits prior to on-chain deployment. The platform targets businesses requiring cross-border payments, digital asset clearing and settlement, and interoperable payment system integration, with backers including Mirana, Antalpha, and Coinhako.

Ubyx is building a global clearing and settlement network specifically for tokenized money, including stablecoins and tokenized bank deposits. It operates a 'collection model' that allows any issuer to connect once and reach all participating receiving institutions, eliminating the need for bilateral agreements between every issuer-institution pair. The network addresses the 'redemption gap' — the lack of a universal mechanism to redeem tokenized money at par value through regulated institutions across multiple blockchains. Backed by a notable seed round of $10M with investors including Barclays, Coinbase Ventures, Founders Fund, Galaxy Digital, Paxos, and Payoneer, the project targets financial institutions and stablecoin issuers as its primary participants.

USBC (U.S. Bank Coin) is a tokenized bank deposit platform that issues a dollar-denominated digital token backed by real U.S. bank deposits and designed for on-chain use. The project operates via a mobile app (available on iOS and Android) and has executed a definitive agreement with Uphold and Vast Bank to advance its tokenized deposit infrastructure. Unlike algorithmic or reserve-backed stablecoins, USBC positions itself as a deposit token — a regulated bank liability represented on-chain — which distinguishes it from typical stablecoins like USDC or USDT. The whitepaper, published October 2025, outlines the technical architecture, and the platform includes a name registry and developer-facing terms, suggesting an ecosystem buildout beyond retail use.

USDC is a regulated US dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Circle, designed to function as a digital dollar usable for sending, trading, saving, and spending. It operates across multiple blockchains including Ethereum and Solana, with the USDC Treasury minting and burning tokens to maintain the peg. The stablecoin is trusted by major exchanges and financial platforms including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, MoneyGram, and NuBank, among others. USDC positions itself as the largest regulated digital dollar, targeting both retail users and businesses seeking programmable dollar infrastructure.

USDKG is a gold-backed stablecoin whose value is pegged to the US dollar and fully collateralized by physical gold held under state supervision. The token is designed to combine the stability of gold as a reserve asset with the liquidity and programmability of a blockchain-based stablecoin, targeting both institutional and retail users seeking a hard-asset-backed digital store of value. USDKG is listed on OSL and other digital asset platforms, and the project publishes on-chain transparency reports to allow holders to verify reserve backing. The stablecoin operates under regulatory oversight, distinguishing it from algorithmic or unsupervised commodity-backed tokens.

Moneta issues USDM, a fiat-backed stablecoin native to the Cardano blockchain, where each token is pegged 1:1 to USD reserves held in bank deposits and money market funds managed by Fidelity and Western Asset Management. The issuing entity, Moneta Digital LLC, is a US-registered Money Services Business regulated by FinCEN, with reserves verified on-chain via the Charli3 oracle. USDM is designed as a base asset for Cardano DeFi protocols and on-chain payments, and is tradeable across several Cardano DEXs including Minswap, GeniusYield, and SundaeSwap. The project originated from the Cardano community as Mehen Finance LLC and raised $1.5M in funding announced March 2025.

Veil.cash is a privacy protocol deployed on the Base Layer 2 network that enables users to send and receive cryptocurrency while concealing transaction details on-chain. The protocol uses ZK-SNARKs (zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge) to cryptographically obscure transaction data while maintaining on-chain verifiability. The system incorporates pooled privacy deposits and a staking mechanism. A native token, VEIL, is tradeable on Base through DEX aggregators including Matcha. The protocol is designed for users requiring transactional privacy on EVM-compatible chains and implements access controls limiting usage to approved participants.

XAUE is a decentralized finance protocol on Ethereum that converts Tether Gold (XAU-T) into a yield-bearing token called XAUE. The protocol enables token holders to generate returns on tokenized gold through two primary strategies: delta-neutral quantitative arbitrage and over-collateralized lending. Generated yield is automatically reinvested to increase gold exposure. The protocol implements a 1000:1 fractional split mechanism, where one XAU-T token equals 1000 XAUE tokens, reducing per-token cost and broadening accessibility. The protocol operates under governance by the Aurise Foundation and incorporates an AI system called Duncan copilot for strategy execution and portfolio rebalancing. An MCP server interface provides programmatic access to protocol functions. Tether and Antalpha are listed as partners.

Yield Basis is an on-chain liquidity protocol designed to address impermanent loss in AMM pools by allowing liquidity providers to maintain direct spot exposure to assets while earning organic yield. The protocol supports Bitcoin-wrapped tokens (cbBTC, tBTC, WBTC) and WETH as yield-bearing assets, with markets showing $190M+ in total TVL across four active pools. Its technical approach separates trading yield (earned from pool rebalancing activity) from token yield (YB emissions), giving LPs a configurable risk/reward profile. The protocol raised $5M via a public token sale and includes governance, vote-locking, and airdrop mechanics typical of a veToken-style DeFi system.

Zephyr Protocol is a stablecoin system that integrates over-collateralization mechanisms with privacy features derived from Monero architecture. The protocol issues four native assets: ZEPH, a reserve coin; ZSD, a stablecoin pegged to USD; ZRS, equity shares in the reserve; and ZYS, shares that accrue yield from staked ZSD. The system combines the Djed stablecoin model with on-chain privacy and transaction untraceability. Core functionality relies on algorithmic over-collateralization to maintain stability while preserving transaction confidentiality. The protocol operates as a decentralized, community-governed system without a centralized corporate entity. ZEPH trades on centralized exchanges including MEXC.
