RLD: on-chain synthetic bonds and credit-default swaps

Decentralized lending markets expose participants to extreme interest-rate volatility, and existing fixed-term solutions fragment liquidity across expiration dates. RLDs track the borrowing rate of a lending pool itself, converting abstract yield volatility into a tradable asset. A single perpetual structure on Uniswap V4 supports synthetic bonds of any duration, rate speculation and hedging — for lenders, treasuries and stablecoin issuers.

Relatum: RDF and machine-generated ontologies to map DeFi risks

Existing stacks cover two ends of the risk problem: dashboards surface metrics per protocol, and simulation platforms price known risks on known protocols. Between them lies the space where most DeFi failures actually live — shared hidden exposures, recursive collateral loops, governance-linked contagion. Relatum is a relational substrate for that space.

Lumis: risk-graded passive yield vaults

Lumis is permissionless infrastructure for volatility harvesting: professional curators deploy modular structured vaults — Nova (lending + LP yield optimizer), Astrid (spot-perp arbitrage with atomic impermanent-loss hedging), Polaris (leveraged market-making), and Inception (an all-weather allocator across the three) — built on Uniswap V4 hooks. An app-specific sequencer nets directional against delta-neutral flow internally, coordinates rebalances via batch auctions, and runs inside EigenLayer for MEV-protected execution, with a permissioned institutional mode: custodian-held funds and transaction pre-validation screening.

PDLP: Perpetual Demand Lending Pool

PDLP is a pool-based spot and perpetual futures DEX in the GMX / JLP / HLP family, where passive LPs deposit into a weighted pool that lends its assets out to collateralize leveraged perp positions. Instead of hedging on external venues, the pool hedges itself: a looped position on Euler pins the portfolio delta atomically inside every pool-mutating transaction, while a two-factor funding curve — steers utilization and leverage back into the risk envelope.

Uniswap V4 NoOp hooks: the quickest guide

NoOp hooks let a contract replace Uniswap's internal swap logic entirely — custom pricing curves, fee management, even an NFT exchange priced by trait rarity — while the pool remains a standard, aggregatable interface. Written from cohort 1 of the Uniswap Hook Incubator: flash accounting, hook address flags, and a minimal working NoOp.

Vault Sharding: sub-vault rebalancing for LP strategies

Rebalance-auction slippage is the main bottleneck of LP-strategy vaults — the larger the vault, the worse the execution. Splitting one large vault into n sub-vaults with staggered rebalances shrinks each auction to a fraction of deposited funds — improving strategy performance with no change in depositor UX, at a gas trade-off that makes the design L2-native.
