A new yield automation system is being built using two major DeFi protocols as action providers.​

Key Features:

  • Aave integration brings $30B+ TVL and institutional-grade infrastructure
  • Morpho provides optimized yield aggregation
  • Single configuration file manages protocols, markets, and assets
  • Users deposit USDC and earn yield automatically

The system simplifies DeFi yield farming by handling protocol interactions behind the scenes.​ Additional features are planned for future releases.​

Actions SDK now supports three embedded wallet solutions: Privy, Turnkey, and Dynamic. After evaluating over 100 wallet providers, these integrations enable seamless onchain experiences where users remain unaware of blockchain interactions. **Key features:** - Embedded wallet support from three leading providers - Invisible blockchain operations for end users - Simplified onchain adoption This follows previous implementations like DIMO's use of Turnkey for global account management, demonstrating the growing importance of embedded wallets in web3 user experience.

Actions: Bridging Traditional Finance and DeFi Yields

Actions: Bridging Traditional Finance and DeFi Yields

A new product called **Actions** aims to solve a critical gap for financial product builders: users expect 5-10% yields, but traditional offerings provide only 0.1%. **The Problem:** - DeFi protocols can deliver higher yields - Integration requires weeks of specialized development work - Most teams lack the expertise or resources **The Solution:** Actions serves as an entry point, simplifying DeFi integration for traditional financial products. This builds on a broader trend toward **AI-powered yield management** that: - Monitors 100+ platforms in real-time - Auto-diversifies across stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI) - Provides risk-based yield suggestions - Distinguishes real yield from subsidy-driven returns The vision: transform DeFi from a manual, complex process into AI-managed digital savings accessible to mainstream users.
