what's Upshift Finance?
Upshift Finance is a DeFi platform that democratizes access to institutional-grade yield strategies. It allows users to deposit assets into non-custodial vaults, where capital is allocated to curated strategies managed by top-performing DeFi funds. Built on secure infrastructure like August, the platform handles significant on-chain volume while emphasizing risk controls and transparency. The vaults support various yield-generating activities, such as lending to institutional borrowers, basis trades across centralized and decentralized exchanges, and concentrated liquidity provision hedged with options. Tokens like upUSDC represent receipt assets for deposits, enabling users to earn yields without managing complex strategies themselves. Upshift focuses on stablecoins and real-world assets (RWAs) to bridge traditional finance with DeFi. By partnering with protocols like Penpie and chains such as Ethereum, Injective, and Monad, Upshift facilitates cross-chain yield opportunities and points programs to incentivize participation. Its design reduces liquidity fragmentation and provides a seamless experience for retail and institutional users seeking consistent, high-quality returns.
Upshift Finance ranks #2 on Monad with $36.7M TVL; earnAUSD vault holds $17.81M at 14.21% APY.
