🤖 AOT Nears Launch

A comprehensive conversation with Vivek Ramaswamy covering cryptocurrency policy and regulatory frameworks is now available for viewing. **Key Points:** - Full interview accessible at [unhashed.co/vivek](http://unhashed.co/vivek) - Discussion spans multiple days of content (January 27-30) - Focuses on crypto regulation and policy perspectives The conversation provides insights into regulatory approaches and policy considerations for the digital asset space.

Vivek Raman of Etherealize discusses the barriers preventing institutional adoption of public blockchains and the emerging solutions. **Key barriers identified:** - Privacy concerns have kept institutions off public rails - Current workarounds recreate traditional finance off-chain - Multi-chain fragmentation breaks composability and security **The shift happening now:** - Zero-knowledge proofs enable programmable privacy - Institutions can use public infrastructure without compromising confidentiality - Ethereum's L2 ecosystem offers multi-execution on a unified settlement layer **Why this matters:** Institutions need both transparency and privacy. ZK technology finally bridges this gap, allowing tokenized assets and RWAs to operate on public rails while maintaining necessary confidentiality. The conversation emphasizes that spreading finance across multiple chains undermines the core benefits of shared security and composability that make blockchain valuable for institutional use cases.

**aarna** is building DeFi's first **Agentic Onchain Treasury (AOT)** - a policy-driven, autonomous asset management system that goes beyond simple automation. **The Problem:** - Current DeFi automation only handles basic rules, not judgment - Manual treasury management is risky and time-consuming - Systems can't adapt to market shifts or manage complex strategies **The Solution:** AOT brings true agentic intelligence to onchain treasuries, making DeFi safer and accessible through: - Adaptive, autonomous management - Policy-driven approach to risk - Full-stack asset management system **Try it now:** [aTars](https://atars.aarna.ai/) enables double-digit DeFi yields with autonomous, risk-managed strategies. Simply connect your wallet and start earning. [Learn more in the docs](https://docs.aarna.ai/)

**Pendle's Principal Tokens (PTs) offer fixed yields by splitting yield-bearing assets into PT (principal) and YT (yield) components.** Users buy PTs at a discount and redeem at par value upon maturity, creating predictable returns that outperform variable farming during rate volatility. **Q4 2024/2025 Performance:** - PT-weETH delivered 12.5% fixed vs. 9% variable (+3.5% alpha) - PT-sUSDe captured 14% fixed vs. 10.8% variable (+3.2% alpha) - PTs showed 24% excess returns with 1.5 Sharpe ratio vs. 0.8 for variable strategies **The Scale Challenge:** Manual PT strategies face liquidity fragmentation across isolated pools, with slippage reaching 0.5-3% on mid-six-figure trades. Position sizing becomes impractical at $1M+ scale. **tvPTmax Solution:** aarna's tvPTmax vault uses TARS AI agent to automate PT accumulation: - Real-time scanning across all PT markets - Auto-diversification across 30-180 day tenors - Position caps at <5% pool TVL to minimize slippage - Automated rolls on maturity triggers **Result:** 10%+ pure APY with zero drawdowns and institutional-grade execution. PTs excel in volatile/risk-off regimes by locking peak rates before drops, while maintaining NAV stability when variable yields compress.

**Hidden execution errors** in DeFi automation only surface after damage is done - bad fills, stale prices, and silent slippage hit your PnL post-transaction. **tvPTmax's safety engine** prevents these mistakes before they reach the blockchain: - Every move **simulated first** with <0.5% slippage requirement - **Oracle-parity checks** block stale/manipulated pricing - **Rollback conditions** stop policy violations - **3/5 multisig review** for all transaction bundles - **Full on-chain logging** for complete auditability Nothing executes blind. Nothing happens just because automation says so. This backend protection lets tvPTmax chase **PT yields safely** while avoiding the execution errors that quietly drain performance elsewhere. **Safe execution isn't an afterthought - it's the core feature.** [Explore tvPTmax](https://engine.aarna.ai/?productId=a_fi_PTmax)
