Martin de Rijke joined Maple two weeks before the 2022 CeFi collapses. Then he helped scale it from $9M to $3.6B in AUM, closing one institutional deal at a time while competitors shut down. In this new episode of Beyond Yield, we explore how on-chain lending actually works, and why stablecoin yield lags adoption by 6 to 12 months. 👉 Watch the full episode

Introducing DIA ZK 🔒 We've launched DIA ZK, a verifiable data assurance layer for DeFi, RWAs, and cross-chain applications. DeFi's highest yields are earned offchain, and so is the risk you can't verify onchain. DIA ZK proves that an issuer's reserves, NAV, and collateral came from the real source unaltered, and can prove a condition like "reserves exceed supply" without revealing the figures. The proofs are verified on DIA's own oracle chain, not a feed a single provider can switch off. 👉 Read more

📢️️️️️️ New Integration: TeQoin DIA now runs the full pricing layer on TeQoin, the an EVM-compatible Optimistic Rollup built for sub-second, Near zero-fee transactions, with a stated focus on unifying payments, DeFi, real-world assets, and cross-chain liquidity into one ecosystem. Integration includes: → Price feeds for liquid digital assets, sourced first-party from CEXs and DEXs → Custom oracles for assets beyond the standard set → DIA Value for intrinsic RWA valuation, including Proof of Reserves → Verifiable randomness via xRandom From day one, teams launching on TeQoin have a DeFi oracle layer in place. → Learn more

🎙 Beyond Yield with Nexus Mutual Hacking a protocol is harder than compromising the dev behind it. Lee McClelland leads product and risk at Nexus Mutual, the oldest cover protocol in DeFi, live on Ethereum since 2019. He runs pool 22, the largest underwriting pool on the mutual, and spends his days doing due diligence on protocols, managing the pricing model, and deciding which risks Nexus will and won't underwrite. Social engineering outpaces onchain exploits. Operational security is now the #1 cause of loss in DeFi. Lee breaks down what protocol cover actually protects, why risk can't be priced in isolation, and how covered vaults make coverage composable for institutions and retail. In this conversation, we cover: → Why protocol cover is harder to underwrite than traditional insurance → What operational security failures look like and why they're the leading cause of loss → Why bridges are the hardest risks to cover in DeFi → Is DeFi getting safer or riskier? The data and the reality → Fixed-rate vs exchange-rate oracles and how they change risk models → Institutions are now the biggest buyers of DeFi cover → How covered vaults enable composable insurance for DeFi → Kidnap and ransom coverage and bringing reinsurance yield onchain For teams building DeFi infrastructure, evaluating insurance protocols, or deploying capital into covered strategies, this conversation provides insight into how risk is actually priced and underwritten at scale in DeFi. → Learn more | Watch full episode on YouTube

🎙Beyond Yield with Particula Carsten Hermann is the Co-founder and CTO of Particula, a risk intelligence platform providing independent ratings, analytics, and monitoring for asset-backed digital assets. Tokenization adds a technical risk layer that traditional ratings miss. Carsten explains why tokenized assets need to be evaluated beyond the underlying asset, including redemption risk, issuer structure, smart contract controls, network-specific risk, and the offchain processes behind every token. Particula has assessed 200+ tokenized assets and is building toward dynamic, machine-readable risk data for institutions, DeFi protocols, lending markets, insurance systems, and AI agents. In this conversation, we cover: → Why tokenization changes the risk profile of the underlying asset → Why tokenized asset ratings focus on redeemability, not just default risk → How issuer structure, legal documentation, KYC/AML flows, smart contract permissions, and offchain operations shape risk → Why the same token may need different ratings across different networks → Why static PDF ratings break in 24/7 onchain markets → How Particula’s Digital Asset Risk Passport brings dynamic risk data onchain → Why lending protocols, vaults, insurance markets, and AI agents need machine-readable risk signals For teams building RWA infrastructure, evaluating tokenized assets, or deploying institutional capital onchain, this episode explores the risk layer required for tokenized markets to scale. → Learn more | Watch full episode on YouTube

📢️️️️️️ Lasernet Staking Update A year ago, Lasernet mainnet staking went live. The first year is complete, and the network is entering a more sustainable phase. Year one in numbers: → 4.4M $DIA staked → 10+ independent Feeders delivering data across 60+ chains Starting July 1st, staking yields will be adjusted to a more sustainable target. The elevated yields from Genesis and year one served their purpose: bootstrapping the network and proving the security model in production. With that foundation in place, the focus shifts to broader oracle adoption and long-term infrastructure development. All other mechanics remain unchanged. No action required from existing stakers. → Read the full update

🎙Beyond Yield with Centrifuge Graham Nelson leads DeFi at Centrifuge, the tokenization protocol bringing real-world assets from institutional managers like Janus Henderson, S&P Dow Jones Indices, and Apollo onchain. With a TradFi banking background before entering crypto in 2016, he's spent nearly a decade bridging traditional finance and DeFi infrastructure. RWAs flopped in 2017. They're scaling now in 2026. Graham breaks down what changed and where institutional capital flows next. In this conversation, we cover: → How TradFi banking shaped Graham's approach to risk, security, and compliance in DeFi → Why RWAs are gaining traction now when the same thesis failed in 2017 → How Centrifuge works: from asset tokenization to DeFi composability → The looping debate — is leverage healthy capital efficiency or dangerous hidden risk → What institutional allocators need from DeFi infrastructure before deploying capital → The next unlock in tokenized assets and why fintech neobanks will act like bank credit teams → What DeFi needs to prove for 10x growth: security, simplicity, and institutional-grade risk management → Learn more | Watch full episode on YouTube

📢 Partnership with tGBP DIA deployed a Proof of Reserves oracle for tokenised GBP (tGBP), a top 5 non-USD stablecoin backed 1:1 by GBP reserves held with regulated UK banking partners. What we built: An oracle that prices tGBP from its actual reserve backing rather than from thin secondary market trades. When tGBP is fully backed, the feed reads 1.00. When reserves fall short, it discounts immediately and proportionally. Why it matters: tGBP has £20M in market cap but only £6M in monthly trading volume. Pricing from thin Coinbase and Kraken prints doesn't reflect the issuer's actual obligation, which is reserve adequacy. This feed gives protocols the data they need to accept tGBP as institutional collateral. Reserve-backed pricing unlocks DeFi integration for regulated stablecoins. The feed is live on Ethereum, with expansion planned to the five other chains where tGBP is deployed. → Learn more

🎙Beyond Yield Ep 4 with Pendle Dan Anthony leads growth at Pendle Finance, the protocol that controls over 50% of DeFi's yield trading market with zero meaningful competitors. After 10 years building automation systems at Schneider Electric, he joined Pendle early and scaled it from under $300M TVL in early 2024 to over $13B peak by September 2025. When Element Finance and Yield Protocol shut down, Pendle became the only protocol to successfully scale yield tokenization at institutional size. Dan breaks down the journey to $1B+ TVL, the Kelp validator-spoof hack, and building toward TradFi's trillion-dollar interest rate swap market. In this conversation, we cover: → The path from early struggles to finding product-market fit in the LRT points meta → Universal limit orders enabling $10M+ swaps with minimal slippage on Pendle → Inside the Kelp hack: validator-spoof attack and what it reveals about bridge security → Boros — bringing TradFi's interest rate swap market onchain, including -600% funding rate trades → Why Pendle killed vePendle and what it reveals about institutional onboarding challenges → How Pendle fits into vault infrastructure with PT looping on Morpho and Aave → RWAs, institutional capital, and why regulatory clarity matters → Learn more | Watch full episode on YouTube

🎙 Beyond Yield Ep 3 with Yearn Finance Corn joined Yearn in late 2021 at the top of the market when it had $7B in deposits and was a top 10 DeFi protocol. Before that, he spent 10 years as a technical seller building data centers for hospitals. At Yearn, he launched Y Audit (now billing millions annually) and helped build the autonomous reallocation system that survived every cycle. Before Hypernative or Blockaid existed, Yearn built its own alerting stack, reporting infrastructure, and market exit mechanisms. Today, the AI agent reallocates capital across Morpho, Aave, Fluid, and USDS with hard constraints. In this conversation, we cover: → How Yearn survived the shakeout: from 100+ contributors burning $3M/month to sustainable operations → Y Academy and building DeFi's first audit education program before security companies scaled → The AI reallocation system: off-chain decision-making with onchain guard rails → Why autonomous systems need hard constraints and what it means to make decisions legible → Asset vetting with an in-house security team of real smart contract auditors → Why institutions are paying attention to vault infrastructure in 2026 and what changed For teams building DeFi infrastructure, evaluating vault protocols, or deploying capital onchain, this provides insight into infrastructure-first thinking that enabled survival through multiple cycles. → Learn more | Watch full episode on YouTube

📢 Partnership with Tokos DIA is partnering with Tokos, the foundational lending protocol on Somnia Network. Tokos will be migrating its core price feeds to DIA oracles, strengthening the oracle layer that underpins every borrow, liquidation, and Health Factor calculation on the protocol. What's being deployed: → Dedicated adaptor contracts on Somnia mainnet → Price feeds covering BTC/USD, ETH/USD, USDC/USD, USDT/USD, and BOBA/USD → Custom deviation thresholds and update intervals tuned to Tokos's risk parameters Somnia processes 1M+ transactions per second with sub-second finality and sub-cent fees. Tokos is already the second-largest protocol by TVL on the network. As Somnia's DeFi stack matures, reliable oracle infrastructure becomes the foundation everything else builds on. → Learn more

🎙 Beyond Yield Ep 2 with Upshift Aya Kantorovich founded Upshift after leaving FalconX one month before the FTX collapse. She raised the term sheet the week after. Now Upshift manages $300M+ in multi-strategy vaults across 35 chains, backed by August, the largest DeFi prime brokerage processing $7B in monthly volume. As TradFi institutions explore vault infrastructure in 2026, Aya breaks down why verification must come first and why self-reported NAV is unacceptable for institutional capital. In this conversation, we cover: → Why you cannot outsource risk and verification infrastructure is non-negotiable → The fundamental problem with self-reported NAV for institutional vaults → Managing 800+ assets across 35 chains: risk engine architecture at scale → What should and shouldn't be tokenized, and the redeemability challenge for private credit → How Upshift vets curators and why transparency determines capital deployment → Why 2026 is the year institutions flood into vaults and what infrastructure is still missing For teams building vault protocols, evaluating DeFi infrastructure, or deploying institutional capital onchain, this provides insight into the verification requirements that enable institutional adoption. → Learn more | Watch full episode on YouTube

📢 Partnership with Stroom Network DIA enables onchain verification for Stroom's Bitcoin reserves through DIA Value, delivering Proof of Reserves feeds that allow strBTC holders to verify Bitcoin backing without centralized attestation. Stroom connects Bitcoin with Ethereum through liquid staking. Users deposit BTC to earn Lightning Network routing fees while receiving strBTC, a liquid ERC-20 token representing their staked Bitcoin. This creates a cross-network verification challenge across Bitcoin Layer 1, Lightning Network, and Ethereum. Traditional proof of reserve systems rely on periodic audits or attestation services. For protocols claiming to eliminate intermediaries, this creates an obvious contradiction. DIA Value delivers Proof of Reserves methodology for strBTC: → Pulls Lightning Network node balance data directly from primary sources → Publishes verified data to Ethereum at regular intervals → Every data point becomes verifiable onchain through Lumina rollup infrastructure → Creates auditable trail from source to smart contract Rather than trusting attestation reports, strBTC holders can now verify their Bitcoin reserves through onchain oracle data. The verification process becomes permissionless: anyone can audit the reserves backing liquid staking tokens at any time. As Bitcoin DeFi matures beyond simple wrapped tokens, protocols need oracle infrastructure that matches blockchain's core verifiability promise. Stroom demonstrates how cross-chain verification should work: transparently and without trusted intermediaries. → Learn more
