By integrating Veda, Kraken created a dynamic onchain yield product that isn’t bound to any single lending protocol or strategy as the vaults adapt to market conditions for superior performance.
User growth
Kraken saw a surge of new user signups just to access the vaults, with over $20M in day-one deposits.
Chain bootstrapping
The Kraken Veda vaults have driven significant liquidity onto the Ink blockchain, making Veda the largest Ink DeFi protocol by TVL.
Safety first
Veda’s non-custodial vaults are transparent onchain, with built-in risk and compliance controls to keep users safe.
HOW IT WORKS

FAQs
What does it mean to offer a multichain, multiprotocol vault?
A multichain, multiprotocol vault has been programmed to accept deposits on one chain and route capital across multiple protocols and, when appropriate, multiple chains for the best risk-adjusted yield. The end user sees a single balance, and sees where their assets are being allocated.
Veda vaults can be programmed to hold positions across any of the 20+ chains we support, allocated across some subset of 35 protocols. However, most multiprotocol vaults allocate to 2-5 protocols at any given time as part of a predetermined yield strategy.
The advantages are higher performance and superior durability. Single-protocol vaults are exposed when that protocol's yield compresses or its risk profile shifts. Multichain, multiprotocol vaults rebalance and adapt. Kraken's Advanced Strategies USDC Veda vault lives on Ink while leveraging Ethereum yield for exactly this reason.
Why are vaults important for enterprises?
Vaults are the necessary institutional layer for onchain yield. They abstract protocol selection, rebalancing, custody, and accounting into a single deposit and withdrawal interface with built-in compliance, security, and risk controls. Without vaults, every fintech would need to build these functions themselves.
Vaults are operational containers that act as a barrier between the enterprise user and the permissionless DeFi landscape. Veda provides enterprises with more controls and flexibility than alternative solutions like direct-to-protocol integrations.
Can we offer instant withdrawals?
Yes. Our vaults can be configured to offer users an instant withdrawal experience while still upholding core security and risk controls. Both Whop and Kraken have implemented this with Veda.
What blockchains and protocols does Veda support?
Veda’s vault infrastructure can be deployed on virtually any EVM chain. Our vaults can also be SVM-compatible. To date, we’ve deployed on 20+ blockchains and add support for new chains when demand arises.
