Hitting 1M TVL: Organic Growth Vibes
What a milestone! We crossed 1M in TVL this month, and it’s all organic — no LP capital or flashy marketing tricks. Our user base and TVL have been climbing steadily, hitting 1.2M at the time of publishing. This kind of natural growth screams real value we’re building here.
Shoutout to our consistent 23% yields on Pendle for âtvUSDC and the fair launch design of $AARNA with ASRT, more on this in the next section. Redesigning yields, AI-managed token portfolios, and crypto indexes with our full-stack onchain framework? It takes grit, but we’re here for it.

Singapore events arc
aarnâ ascend: The Singapore Cricket Club Mixer
An easy, curated evening at Singapore’s iconic heritage sports club. Invite-only for max 30 DeFi leaders: protocols, chains, funds, founders, and thought leaders. No agenda, no speed-dating, no shilling. Just vibes at the bouncy Stumps bar with club drinks, draught beers, and great bites.
It was a total blast with awesome chats sparking ideas, connections, and partnerships.
Jack was at the event, with a sneaky new Decypher podcast announcement as well. Stay tuned. 🐔
Panel at the Sonic Summit: The Urgency of AI
Sri lit up the stage at SonicLabs Summit, spilling the beans on the epic mashup of blockchain and AI. He zeroed in on two game-changers:
- Predictive AI for on-chain risk: Hacks aren’t random surprises, they’re carefully plotted ops. Models can sniff out exploit patterns from mempool chatter and contract moves, flagging dangers before they explode.
- Agent-powered asset management: DeFi’s wild complexity calls for smart automation with built-in accountability. Vault agents can plot strategies, size positions, and hedge across AMMs, perps, RFQs, all with policy guardrails and verifiable execution.
This is the exact direction we’re steering aarnâ > get ready for the future!
Extended Fam
Singapore had us in touch with the Brazil team as well, getting the gang together to solve myst…. nevermind that’s the wrong multiverse 🧿.
ps. The photo has one of our Quintets in frame as well, Jack Niewold. We love fun surprises don’t we.
TGE wen?
Will be answered in due time, but those with keen eyes would’ve seen hints across CT.
In the meanwhile to soothe your curiosity, read more about why ASRT is the high value meta for DeFi, and how it will lead to some crazy asymmetric upside for early believers in aarnâ.
Product Updates
We’re cranking out structured products to make DeFi fun and rewarding. Check out the highlights:
New Mobile App
Big news, folks: aarnâ’s app got a total makeover. It’s mobile-first for easy adoption, with slick UX that lets you check vaults, positions, deposits, news, yields, and tons more. DeFi right in your pocket, now even cooler.
Vault Yields and Strategies
Yields were straight fire this month. âtvUSDC hit 13.72% APY, âtv111 on Sonic reached 18.92%, and on Arbitrum it spiked to 23.59%. Borrowing increased Link
We spotlighted locking 23%+ fixed APY on PT-âtvUSDC via Pendle (maturing Nov 13, perfect for holiday plans). Get juiced on yields here.
ETH holders, here’s a clever move: supply ETH on Euler, borrow USDC at 6.43%, drop it into PT-âtvUSDC for a fixed 23% APY, and pocket a 16.57% spread.
Digging into our AI-powered vaults:
- •âtv 808: This contrarian champ hunts undervalued tokens ready to bounce. It rebalances on the fly for big upside, up 54.33% YTD vs. BTC’s 32.91%.
Keep your eyes peeled 🤖
A banger is about to be dropped, assuming you’ve seen the teasers. Stay tuned.
the aarnâ brand narrative
We pumped up our mission with community fun and thought leader vibes.
the aarnâ Quintets are over-subscribed :P
The Quintets are all here! Five powerhouse thinkers teaming up to level up on-chain asset management and simplify DeFi: @crypto_linn, @hackapreneur, @0xFinish, @CryptoVonDoom, @JackNiewold. They dig our tech and team, turning messy DeFi into smart, risk-managed products. We kicked it off with @0xFinish joining mid-month.
Quintets coverage was epic:
- •0xFinish shared a thread on why aarnâ flips on-chain tools on their head: simple in/out, self-custody, and choices between stable yield or quant alpha.
- •CryptoVonDoom raved about the app’s seamless UX and hosted a deep-dive space.
- •hackapreneur hopped into our mobile app redesign livestream.
