Weak performance at @mellowprotocol. Birds are real.



Once agents show up, the human clicking buttons is the bottleneck🤖

Why I disagree with @BrianInCrypto's take on Vaults vs Separately Managed Accounts: - SMAs don't remove smart contract risk. A bug in the strategy logic or permission layer drains 10k wallets as easily as one pooled contract. Just diff architecture, but it's all code anyway. - Vaults are appealing to users precisely because they package a strategy run by an Asset Manager (and because they don't want to do it themselves for some reason: skills / regulatory / workload...you name it). Delegation is the product, not a bug to engineer away. - Running x segregated versions of the same strategy (e.g: S&P 500) can sometimes defeat the entire point of having managed products (e.g: Indices). Needless to say that most people would have been better holding Indices than doing stock picking. Standardisation comes with its own set of benefits, and we shouldn't forget about this. Finally, Brian says that Vaults are a 'One size fits all' solution. This critique misses the point. Vaults aren't the portfolio - the wallet is. Users compose their own bag from vaults, directional buys/sells, stables, perps / options, whatever... A vault has never been framed as a portfolio. tldr: Vaults and SMAs aren't competing answers to the same question. They're two different primitives solving two different problems.

Ever looked at a vault APY and thought "ok but what are they actually doing in there?" New protocols, new allocations, a pipeline that keeps growing. NAV exceeded 100K ETH. Here's what was actually happening inside @LidoFinance's EarnETH MetaVault on Mellow in March.


DeFi, simplified. Introducing two new vaults: EarnETH & EarnUSD One vault for ETH-based capital. One for stablecoins. Now live on stake.lido.fi/earn ↓

What if you didn't have to pick a strategy at all? What if the best ones just showed up in your vault over time, each run by its own curator? That's what @LidoFinance's MetaVaults are. EarnETH and EarnUSD vaults put the best strategies under one roof for you. Built on Mellow.


Everyone missed the biggest yield product of the last 3 months. It's @mellowprotocol's Core Vaults. It was literally not possible to mix-match strategies like this before. Any DeFi route + CEX + institutional rails, and Mellow just fist jammed all of it in a single vault. ↓

Mellow is launching three pre-deposit vaults for @MezoNetwork. Designed to put BTC and stablecoins to work with protocol incentives layered in from the start. Two BTC-native vaults curated by @sense_capital. Stable vault curated by Perseus. Deposits are open until January 26.
