The protocol sources yield from TradFi instruments and makes it accessible on-chain, targeting DeFi investors seeking uncorrelated returns beyond pure crypto assets. R3, the parent organization, has over a decade of enterprise blockchain experience and claims $10bn+ in onchain RWAs across 20+ regulated TradFi networks. Launch partners include Kamino, Solstice, AlphaLedger, and Radian, with Solana Foundation as a strategic partner; the protocol is expected to launch publicly in 2026.

Covenant Finance is a decentralized finance protocol that converts on-chain assets into leveraged tokens and yield-bearing instruments. The protocol operates two primary product categories: LEVERAGE-Coins, which are leveraged tokens pegged to on-chain assets, and YIELD-Coins, which function as over-collateralized, yield-bearing debt instruments. The system uses collateral directly as liquidity in a decentralized exchange model, enabling capital-efficient leverage and yield generation without implementing traditional liquidation mechanics. The protocol's architecture allows users to obtain leveraged exposure to crypto assets or generate fixed yield on holdings through these tokenized instruments.

Creek Finance is a decentralized RWAfi (real-world asset finance) protocol built on the Sui blockchain that tokenizes gold through a value separation mechanism. The protocol splits gold-backed token XAUM (powered by Matrixdock) into two components: GR, a stability token that can be used as collateral to borrow the zero-interest gold-backed stablecoin GUSD, and GY, a volatility token that amplifies gold price exposure with built-in leverage and protocol yield rights. Users can stake XAUM to receive GR and GY at fixed ratios, trade gold volatility without liquidation risk, and earn yield from fee distribution. The protocol is incorporated under Invictus Toxoplasma Limited and targets DeFi users seeking capital-efficient exposure to gold as a real-world asset.

Cropto issues a family of real-world asset tokens backed by physical agricultural commodities including wheat, corn, barley, hazelnut, pistachio, cotton, and approximately 20 others.
