Same risk framework. More incentive. Liquid USDC vault is in a public beta mode — try Shift DeFi, earn additional rewards, and share your feedback via the form in the app. → app.shiftdefi.com

Shift DeFi is now live on DeFiLlama 🦙 Another small but important milestone for us. Our TVL is now independently tracked on DeFiLlama, giving anyone a simple way to follow Shift’s growth and on-chain activity. For us, this is what DeFi infrastructure should look like: transparent, verifiable, and open for anyone to inspect. No black boxes. Just on-chain data.

UPDATE: Liquid USDC is back to normal operations. Liquidity has returned to the affected Morpho markets following the large withdrawals that temporarily reduced available liquidity and triggered our risk system’s liquidity thresholds earlier today. We’ve unpaused the Vault and re-enabled deposits. Withdrawals remain fully operational. Liquid USDC is operating as usual.

Vault update: Earlier today, liquidity dropped sharply across several Morpho markets used by the Liquid USDC Vault. Shift’s risk system detected the change and triggered an exit from the affected positions. With market liquidity temporarily constrained, our team actively monitored execution and completed the exit as liquidity became available. All affected positions were fully exited and the Vault incurred no loss of funds. We’ve temporarily paused the Vault while we review the event. Deposits will be unavailable shortly, while withdrawals will continue as usual. We plan to reopen deposits later today and will share an update when they’re live again.

Seoul, that was a good one. 🇰🇷 A big thank you to everyone who joined us at the Proof of Liquidity @ProofOfLiq event during Korea Blockchain Week. It was a pleasure to co-host the event and spend the day with allocators, treasury teams, protocols, RWA issuers, infrastructure builders, and so many people shaping what onchain capital looks like next. Special thanks to Yield Network @yield_network for bringing it all together and creating such a great room for real conversations. And to everyone who came over to say hi to the Shift DeFi team, asked questions, shared ideas, or simply wanted to learn more about what we’re building – we loved meeting you. New connections, great conversations, and plenty to take home from Seoul. Until next time 🙌

Aave just made tokenized equities collateral for 24/7 lending. But price feeds still take weekends off. So what happens when Nvidia gaps on Sunday night, or Apple splits its stock? Tokenized equities are officially a DeFi risk-management problem. ↓

$1M crossed! And this one’s special ✨ Our Liquid USDC vault has officially passed $1M in TVL, currently sitting at $1.17M. It’s an important milestone for us, especially while the vault is still in beta. To everyone who joined early, tested the vault, shared feedback, asked questions, and trusted us with their capital – thank you. It genuinely means a lot to the whole Shift team. You’re helping us build a better product with every step. Still beta. Still improving. And very happy to have you with us.

Dear users, an important quick note on our Bug Bounty Program. We’re receiving a high volume of reports, and we genuinely appreciate the attention Shift’s contracts are getting from the security community. Every submission needs to be reviewed properly. Some identify issues worth investigating further. Others turn out to be duplicates, intended behavior, or findings that do not represent an actual vulnerability. But we cannot know which is which until our team has done the work. That means reading the report, reproducing the scenario, checking the PoC, reviewing the relevant contracts, and assessing the potential impact. With many submissions coming in at once, this takes time. So if you haven’t received an immediate verdict, your report hasn’t been ignored. It’s in the review process, and we’re working through submissions as carefully as possible. We’re also reaching out directly to researchers regarding bounty rewards, so please keep an eye on the email address you used for your submission. You may already have a message from us waiting there. We built this program because we want our assumptions challenged. Keep looking. Keep testing. Keep sending us what you find. We’ll keep reviewing.

An audit tells you what was true before deployment. On-chain risk changes block by block. That's why we work with @HypernativeLabs as part of Shift DeFi security infrastructure. It monitors the protocols we deploy into in real time. When a critical threat is detected, Shift DeFi takes action automatically. Detection and execution, working together.

Shift DeFi is co-hosting Proof of Liquidity in Seoul during @kbwofficial. On September 30, allocators, treasuries, DeFi protocols, RWA issuers, and infrastructure teams will come together for an invite-only capital summit hosted by @yield_network. A focused room for the teams building and deploying onchain capital infrastructure. See you in Seoul.

Shift DeFi is built to manage portfolios across multiple chains within a single coordinated system. We use @LayerZero_Core as the cross-chain messaging engine that connects execution across networks. It’s a core part of how Shift DeFi makes multi-chain portfolio management work.

Capital in a DeFi portfolio is constantly reallocated across assets and positions. Shift DeFi uses @1inch to aggregate liquidity across DEXs and find efficient routes for each swap. This lets Shift DeFi route portfolio actions without being tied to a single liquidity source.

Beta testing for the DeFi Liquid USDC Vault is now open to everyone. We've removed the whitelist requirement — anyone can now deposit directly, explore the vault, and share feedback No approval. No allowlist. Just deposit. → app.shiftdefi.com
