Native yield layer Veda has made significant strides in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space by integrating its technology with Ether.Fi's Liquid product line. This partnership has led to a surge in Veda's user base, reaching over 26,000 within just three months. As a result, Veda has solidified its position among the top 30 DeFi protocols on Ethereum, with its total value locked (TVL) nearing $700 million.

Veda's innovative approach allows users to optimize their assets across different blockchains and DeFi protocols, even the most complex ones. This empowers developers to create custom "yield-generating tokens" tailored to individual user needs. By leveraging Veda's technology, users can unlock increased liquidity for specific tokens, such as eETH, and gain access to a growing list of DeFi's essential building blocks, including established names like Pendle, Aave, Morpho Blue, and Gearbox.

"We're thrilled with the decision to use Veda's technology, which represents the next evolution in DeFi by providing a platform that is both secure and dynamic enough to tap into yields that would otherwise be difficult to access for the average user," Veda co-founder Sunand Raghupathi said in a statement.

Veda's user-friendly interface and robust security features make it an attractive onramp for newcomers to the DeFi space. The protocol uses verifiable on-chain restrictions to control where and how users' assets move within the system, ensuring that assets only go where they're supposed to. This approach is likened to choosing the lanes your assets can travel on, allowing users to specify which tokens and DeFi tools they want to use for generating returns.

Behind the scenes, Veda directs assets to a network of established DeFi platforms that generate returns for users. These platforms can handle various transactions, from basic lending and staking to more advanced strategies like liquidity provision on Uniswap V3. By cutting through the complexity, Veda offers a user-friendly experience with fewer steps and potentially higher returns.

Veda's integration with Ether.Fi marks a significant milestone in its journey to make DeFi yields in the digital assets realm readily available to the growing number of crypto users globally. With more partnerships and improvements on the horizon, Veda is poised to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the DeFi space.
