October Recap: Focus, Breakthroughs, and the Agentic Treasury
October was a month of intense focus and significant breakthroughs for aarna. The project is charting a bold new course, centered on building DeFi's first agentic onchain treasury. âTARS is rapidly evolving into a sophisticated coordination layer, designed to curate and optimize yield across Pendle's PT markets. The âtvUSDC vault continued its strong performance, leading Pendle's fixed yield narrative, while preparations for the $AARNA launch gained momentum with strong community engagement. Amidst the development milestones, the team also celebrated Diwali at the lab.
Agentic On-Chain Treasury: The Future of DeFi Access
aarna is on the cusp of launching a transformative new chapter for DeFi. The project is redefining access to decentralized finance, moving beyond fragmented interfaces and protocols towards a unified, agentic system capable of autonomously managing and optimizing capital onchain.
Key Features of the Agentic Treasury:
- •A fully onchain, AI-directed treasury that operates autonomously.
- •Capabilities include curating strategies, deploying capital, managing risk, and auto-compounding.
- •Designed to be non-custodial, permissionless, and auditable.
This represents a novel primitive and a new paradigm for engaging with DeFi, with its launch anticipated soon.
âTARS: Evolving into the Intelligence Layer
The upcoming iteration of âTARS will enable real-time agentic actions. This includes actively scanning markets, evaluating yield opportunities on Pendle's PT markets, optimizing capital allocation across various vaults, and continuously learning from performance outcomes.
Essentially, âTARS is being developed to serve as the core intelligence layer powering the Agentic Treasury.
Vaults Update: A Strong Performance on Pendle
The âtvUSDC vault on Pendle demonstrated a robust performance throughout the month, consistently ranking among the top-yielding pools with APYs ranging from 22% to 25% and attracting over $1 million in total liquidity.
Despite market volatility on October 10th, which impacted leveraged markets and compressed variable yields, the âtvUSDC vault remained resilient. Its foundation in lending markets provided insulation from the broader drawdown. In contrast, aarna's AI-driven quant vaults, âtv802 and âtv808, experienced short-term drawdowns due to market rotations affecting dynamic and higher-beta strategies.
Looking ahead, the introduction of the âtvPTmax vault (coming soon) is planned. This vault is engineered for autonomous operation, dynamically balancing between stable and PT yield layers through fully agentic logic. Further details will be shared soon, along with a sneak peek of the development process.
Ecosystem Growth and Community Engagement
The aarna ecosystem is experiencing a surge in community energy. New creators and prominent DeFi voices have joined, poised to amplify the aarna narrative as the project transitions into the agentic era. Within the community, the Hero Initiative has launched, allowing members to select their archetype – Sage, Rebel, or Guardian – each contributing to the shaping of the project's future.
Diwali Celebration at the Lab
Amidst the demanding work of commits and contract audits, the aarna lab was illuminated for Diwali. The festivities included traditional diyas and sweets, serving as a welcome reminder that even dedicated builders benefit from moments of respite and celebration.
November felt like the quiet period preceding a significant phase shift. Subsequent updates will elaborate on these developments. Join us on this journey!
