The next generation of Earn products is here:. DeFi is becoming "vaultified". At some point in the early 2010s, ".com" internet companies simply became companies using the internet, and every commerce company became an e-commerce company by default. It's now finally apparent to.

Today, there is no good way for users to earn high yield in DeFi. Users default to lending pools and many assets earn nothing in wallets. We are fixing that at Upshift. Upshift has attracted $350m TVL giving users access to institutional high-yield strategies: basis trade,.

TLDR:. Our goal is to increase the return of every asset onchain. As institutions enter the space, DeFi is becoming harder for regular users. We are building products to level the playing field, democratizing instituional-grade DeFi for everyone. We have built:.- August - today.

Blockchains should be invisible infrastructure. Users don't care which chain they're on. They care about what they can do and paying less in fees. The best technology often disappears.

August and Upshift were born in the aftermath of Celsius and combines the best of their model with the transparency and composability of DeFi.

You are not going to get rich chasing 200% APY yield farms that collapse in 3 months. That's just sophisticated gambling with extra steps. Real wealth comes from sustainable yield that persists through market cycles.
