CIAN - Yield Layer of DeFi 🟡

Bringing the Mantle Vault into DeFi is about making institutional yield accessible as an onchain product.

@grovedotfinance connects the vault to the @SkyEcosystem Savings Rate. CIAN packages the strategy and builds the vault product. The vault runs on @Mantle_Official and is now available through @Fluxion_network for USDC and USDT0 deposits.

Proud to build this together with @Mantle_Official, @grovedotfinance and @Fluxion_network.

Last week, we sat down with @Luffy_Cian for a long-overdue community update on Cian’s Yield Layer and @Bondify_xyz.

The clearest takeaway: Cian and Bondify are increasingly connected by one core use case — looping.

Cian’s Yield Layer will continue to focus on building yield strategies that can hold up across security, liquidity and scale. The team has spent the past year exploring new yield sources, especially RWAs. But the more we tested, the clearer the constraint became: once an asset needs to be stable, transparent, scalable and liquid enough to support large positions, the viable set of yield sources narrows quickly.

That is why looping remains central. It is one of the most established leveraged-yield use cases onchain, and it aligns the interests of asset issuers, lending markets and users looking for amplified yield.

Bondify starts from the next problem: how do those positions exit?

Many yield-bearing and RWA assets come with slow or uncertain redemption. For a leveraged position, waiting weeks to unwind creates real opportunity cost and can make exit the weakest part of the strategy.

Bondify adds a dedicated utility stack around the looping position:

• JR standardizes complete looping positions for transfer
• YT lets loopers tokenize and trade future yield
• SLF provides a unified lending layer designed around opening and exiting loops
Bondify broadens the exit path beyond a full unwind. The position and its future yield become objects that can be priced and transferred.
With the mechanism working, the next challenge is building real liquidity and demand around it.

The broader lesson from building Bondify is that most DeFi primitives were designed for liquid assets. AMMs, order books and liquidation-based lending systems assume frequent trading and dependable exit liquidity. Low-liquidity yield assets break those assumptions.

Supporting them at scale will require different market and liquidity design. That is where we believe the next generation of onchain yield infrastructure will be built.

Cian and Bondify will keep developing side by side:

Cian builds and operates the yield strategies.
Bondify gives looping positions a market, an exit path and a way to hedge future yield.

Thanks to everyone who joined and sent questions. If we did not get to yours, drop it in the community and we will bring it back to the team.
