The easiest way to survive the sideways chop is to hold a bag that constantly accrues value. You can build a BSKT entirely out of liquid staking assets and watch the live APY directly on the dashboard 👀

Quick catch up from last WENSday 👇 → Product & Development: Solana MVP testing continues, with a new basket level yield accumulator that tracks yield down to a $0.0001 display threshold, so even tiny accruals show properly instead of rounding to zero. EVM yield UX also got upgraded with a dedicated APY column on the leaderboard, clearer yield bearing token highlights across Base and Ethereum, and searchable yield stats across BSKT browsing. API work added cross service JWT auto provisioning plus more precise 24h and 7d price/volume fields, while Solana RPC resilience got a critical fix. → BD & Partnerships: The fund manager B2B push is now properly moving, with outreach going to crypto native liquid token funds and onchain asset managers who are already running strategies on expensive, opaque systems. There was also a strong inbound from a quant strategy distribution team exploring how AI driven algo strategies could run as BSKTs instead of building fund infrastructure from scratch. KOL outreach continues too, now with a sharper filter for traders with real onchain audiences who can actually drive TVL, not just farm impressions. As always, WENSday updates land in the Basement first → t.me/alvaraprotocol 🧺

TradFi is officially just another altcoin category now. And, btw, wrapping top tech stonks right next to your absolute worst degen bags inside a single basket is the exact kind of thing this space was built for 👀

You spend countless hours researching assets and building a portfolio. Instead of just posting screenshots you can tokenize that strategy into a BSKT 🧺 to establish a verifiable public track record. Let others join in and monetize your execution onchain 🧠 → app.alvara.xyz

Yield bearing baskets are live. You can now build BSKTs around value accruing yield assets with live APY shown directly in the dapp 👇 Liquid staking and savings assets are selectable directly in the BSKT Lab. You can search and add them without needing to paste contract addresses. Each yield asset shows its current live APY in the picker. Every basket displays a blended yield on the basket page and the Explore leaderboard weighted by allocation. These assets accrue yield through a rising exchange rate instead of a rebasing balance so the value compounds inside the basket without breaking vault accounting. A basket weighted toward a staking asset tracks the underlying price while capturing yield the entire time. The yield is baked directly into the NAV. We are also building a live counter showing the cumulative yield your basket has accrued since the initial deposit 👀 Build a BSKT 🧺 → app.alvara.xyz

The next step for the protocol is taking full ownership of our voting infrastructure. We are moving Gauge Weight Voting from Snapshot to a bespoke application hosted directly on the Alvara platform. Having absolute control over the voting environment allows us to eliminate third party reliance and provide a much smoother interaction for everyone participating. The core functionality and the way you earn rewards will not change at all. The team needs a brief window to execute this migration. We are pausing the gauge weight vote for this coming Monday May 18th. Everything comes back online for the vote on Monday May 25th. To make up for the paused week we will double the emission rewards for the May 25th vote 🧺

Last WENSday, recapped, in case you missed it👇 → Product & Development: Alvara’s Solana MVP is now submitted, with the Anchor program live on mainnet, with Token 2022 LP mints, Jupiter v6 CPI swaps, yield aware UI, manager claim flow and backend support for analytics plus MEV resistance. The MCP server shipped with the submission too, making Alvara the first basket protocol on Solana built for agentic management 👀 Outside Solana, yield APY UI polish landed on the EVM frontend while Delta Rebalancing and Create BSKT from Portfolio continue through testing and final audit steps. → BD & Partnerships: The Solana Colosseum submission is now being used as a live proof point in Foundation level conversations, especially around grants and ecosystem alignment. BD has also expanded outreach beyond KOLs and LPs into digital asset fund managers, DAO treasury operators and family offices running crypto strategies. The core KOL and LP pipeline continues as before, with the new fund manager lane added on top rather than replacing anything. Catch more weekly updates in the Basement → t.me/alvaraprotocol 🧺

Alright folks for those fudders who sold and those thinking about selling, @useGradient team is still here, still grinding and preparing expansion as the market turns, this was posted today in their telegram page. Once marker turns this should deliver great returns, btw @Sykodelic_ still holding as well. @CryptoHass you still supporting? Today’s Team announcement: Afternoon guys— here once again to remind everyone that we are continuously working on the project. We would not be integrating new chains, pushing significant updates and planning around the return of volume onchain if that wasn’t the case. We have been posting only our significant announcements to socials, diluting our page with filler posts while engagement is at an all time low won’t change things as some have been suggesting. The disconnect between what we have built and what we trade for is the greatest it’s been. This hasn’t diminished our conviction— just shifted our playbook. 100% of our focus is on executing our plan to push Gradient to new audiences and render it useful for a greater amount of people. If these efforts prove successful, the token will quickly follow. We have had one of the strongest proof of concepts ever, $700k saved by just north of 1,000 people on 12M of trading volume. Probably among the highest value-per-dollar protocols ever made for users. We know what we built, we know what we have, and we know how great it can be. I’ll be sharing some fresh insight and news soon, we’ve been cooking.

Building a multi token fund does not require an esoteric skill set. Watch how fast you can deploy a custom strategy directly onchain 🧺 → app.alvara.xyz

The amount of concentrated effort happening internally to finalize the next phase of the protocol is substantial 👀

One of the more interesting directions right now: BSKTs built from underlying vault positions 🧠 A short bit from our last Townhall call 👇

A look at this week's top BSKTs 🧺 👀 Time to build yours -> app.alvara.xyz

Capital rotates fast across different L2s. Trying to catch every move with manual trades could eat into your budget through slippage and gas, not to mention waste a lot of your time. Build a multi token BSKT that holds all your target L2 assets so you get complete sector exposure from a single dashboard instead🧠 → app.alvara.xyz

If you like safe plays with doxxed team and serious builders, $GRAY is your play, no one else does what’s they do and literally it makes you money, who else can say it that about their project? Right now it’s on heavy discount given the weak liquidity but once the market turns this is your ticket to 50-100x project.

A quick recap of our last WENSday 👇 → Product & Development: Solana took center stage this week, clearing its internal pre publication audit. All findings were remediated. Delta Rebalancing audit findings are fixed, MCP got more multi chain hardening, and Tron contracts plus mainnet deploy scripts are complete. → Marketing & Community: The main stories are Solana audit transparency and the new yield aware basket UI. Content is being built around a plain English audit breakdown, a short walkthrough of creating a yield based Solana basket, and a Delta whitepaper aimed at more serious allocators. Town Hall planning is underway with audit walkthrough, yield UI demo, and multi chain Q&A on the menu. → BD & Partnerships: BD stayed focused on the same core tracks: prominent KOL conversations, institutional grade LP outreach, and Solana ecosystem alignment. These deals take time to structure but the team is working through the details while the broader market backdrop improves. Join the Basement to get first updates live → t.me/alvaraprotocol
