Bedrock Outlines Year 2 Roadmap with AI Access and Yield Vaults

Bedrock has achieved significant capital allocation without relying on points programs or incentive campaigns. The protocol attracted funds based on: - **Real borrower demand** funding the underlying yield - **Transparent delegation terms** established before commitment - **Sustainable economics** rather than token incentives This approach mirrors the success of protocols like moremarket, which reached $40M TVL with zero points or bribes, demonstrating that real yield can attract sticky capital. While many protocols burn treasury on incentives only to watch mercenary capital leave, Bedrock's model shows institutional-grade liquid staking can succeed through transparency and genuine economic value rather than artificial rewards.

Bedrock is expanding beyond traditional staking with a new USD-denominated credit engine for $uniBTC holders, backed by nearly $150M in delegations. **Key developments:** - Partnership with Cap to build programmable credit infrastructure - Recent MOU with CIMG to explore compliant institutional DeFi frameworks - Focus on institutional-grade BTC liquid staking with regulatory alignment The initiative aims to create scalable pathways for institutional capital to access on-chain Bitcoin yield through compliant infrastructure.
