YO's head of product @0scaronchain joined @portals_fi for a yield-coded episode of The DeFi Drop.
Check it out for a great summary of what he and the team have been up to, and why the new Ecosystem Vault likely wouldn't exist without YO V2:
A yield optimizer should show you where capital goes and constrain where it can't
ποΈ @0scaronchain, Founding Member, @yield, joins The DeFi Drop to unpack:
β’ YO V2's closed-loop architecture
β’ The Ecosystem Vault, curated by @kpk_io
β’ Its Risk Graph for devs and AI agents

Crypto didnβt run out of good builders.
It made being one a bad trade.
Why spend 3 years shipping real tech when you can launch 30 shitcoins and only need one to hit?
Gen Z didnβt break crypto. They figured out what it actually rewards. π§΅

Start from what you already hold.
Crosschain zaps are live on Portals Explorer, running on Relay β‘οΈ
Any token, any chain we support, into the position you picked.
Cross-chain is now live on the Portals Explorer, powered by @RelayProtocol
Move into any opportunity from almost any asset, across major blockchains, in one flow. No manual bridging needed.

Portals is running a $10K raffle for users who route through their frontend into eligible Coinbase Tokenized Stock positions

There are transaction simulators, and then there is @portals_fi Foresight. See if you can spot the difference π
Every DeFi transaction carries operational risk.
@bizantinelabs curates large on-chain vaults, and their signers need to know exactly what a transaction will do before approving it.

Our CBO @BaptisteCota joined @portals_fi for a deep dive on tokenisation, why institutions are moving onchain, how Midas Staked Liquidity solves the exit problem and what it takes to scale a infrastructure business to over $ 2B.
No headphones with you? You can also read everything about the episode in Portals blog post: blog.portals.fi/defi-drop-miβ¦
"Crypto prices will matter increasingly less to what's actually being built on chain."

The range of DeFi positions Royco unlocks is broader than most people realize.
Senior is a better version of the underlying asset, an immaculate collateral, and once looped, a powerful mezzanine layer.
@ShivaanshKapoor explains it all in under three minutes π
"Dawn senior tranches are the immaculate collateral. A better version of the underlying asset from a risk point of view."

This week is showing what tranching is actually for.
@ShivaanshKapoor walked through the reasoning on @portals_fi days ago:
The nature of STRC-backed stablecoins, the volatility they carry, and why Royco's Observation Period is part of the core design.

Small Foresight update:
40+ teams have signed up since we launched it at @portals_fi
It started as an iternal tool to simulate DeFi txs without all the complex setup normally required.
Now it handles swaps, multisig flows, zaps, loops, reverts, traces, all DeFi primitives and weird calldata from real apps.
No fork setup, no funded wallet, and no approvals needed.
Just send the tx and see what happens.

One of the most underrated DeFi tools right now.
@portals_fi covers 400+ protocols and tracks over 30 million discrete yield-bearing positions.
I had no idea this existed at this scale until recently, and I can't figure out how I missed it.
For @roycoprotocol specifically, having everything in one place is very useful. You can see:
> Senior and Junior position APYs live across networks
> Pendle and other market integrations
Btw, the podcast they put out with @ShivaanshKapoor is amazing. Shiv walks through the protocol end to end and drops hints about what comes next.
We've been on Royco Dawn for roughly two months and apparently, the next version is already close π³
If you're doing yield research, you must use Portals.

Recent posts by Manuel ArΓ‘oz on AI and DeFi security have been widely circulated, and customers have asked whether they reflect OpenZeppelin's position. They do not.
Manuel co-founded OpenZeppelin and served as the companyβs CTO until 2019 when he left the company.
Just checked and @portals_fi now covers 400+ protocols and 30+ MILLION discrete yield bearing positions. With coverage of apy, tvl, all transactions, consolidated metrics, holders, cross chain zaps and over 15 billion rows of historical data π€―
