Introducing Elemental V2
A complete relaunch, built from the ground up.
1/
[ A Clean Slate ]
V2 marks a complete reset of our infrastructure.
- Fresh smart contract deployments.
- New multisigs.
- Newly generated, fully isolated wallets.
This is a deliberate reset. We want a clean, hardened foundation we can stand behind with conviction as we navigate an increasingly complex DeFi landscape.
2/
[ Isolated Vault Design ]
At the core of V2 is a clear shift in philosophy. In the past we ran a myriad of strategies under a single vault. Now, complex strategies will be unbundled.
Each vault will list clear deployment venues and the strategy which it will operate.
This gives you control; you decide how to construct your portfolio, you decide how you want to balance risks.
We’ll begin with clear deployment and strategy disclosures, but over time, expect live metrics.
Over the past four years, Elemental has executed dozens of strategies. With V2’s isolated vault design, these strategies will now be surfaced individually, each with clear structure and intent. You can expect a steady rollout of new vaults, each revealing a distinct approach to risk and yield.
3/
[ First Launch: USDT Vault ]
We’re kicking things off with our first $USDT vault.
@tether @paoloardoino has stepped up for @solana when it mattered. Demand for USDT yield is growing.
We’re here to meet it.
This vault focuses strictly on stablecoin strategies. Lending for base yield, with additional optimization through select stablecoin borrowing and pairing.
Deployments are limited to Kamino and Loopscale.
No unnecessary sprawl. Crypto is inherently high risk. That doesn’t change. But within DeFi, we view stablecoin strategies as sitting on the lower end of that spectrum.
4/
[ Building Toward Institutional Grade ]
V2 today is about infrastructure and hygiene. But the roadmap goes further.
We are building toward a system that can support serious institutional capital.
TradFi operates differently:
- Defined redemption windows
- Structured contracts
- Predictable rates
DeFi isn’t there yet.
Elemental aims to close that gap.
5/
[ Owning the Stack ]
V2 is not just about clear strategies on existing protocols. We will also begin deploying our own.
This means full-stack control. From infrastructure to execution.
You’ll have the choice:
Vaults that deploy externally. Or vaults powered entirely by Elemental-native systems.
Our role is simple: Provide the best risk-adjusted opportunities we can.
6/
[ Evolving in Real Time ]
V2 is broad, and largely uncharted. Expect iteration.
We will refine vaults, sunset underperformers, adjust strategies as conditions change. But all with clear communication and sufficient notice.
We build with the market, not against it.
7/
[ Clarifying Uncertainty ]
The path ahead won’t always be linear.
We will adapt. We will make decisions. And we will explain them.
That commitment doesn’t change. And that commitment won't ever change.
8/
[ V1's Path ]
Nothing changes for now. V1 and V2 will run in parallel.
As V2 matures, we will reassess. If a migration makes sense, it will be handled with clarity and ample time.
No surprises.
Elemental will continue to build regardless of the bull or bear. We will grow meaningfully from cycle to cycle, and we will become a critical DeFi infrastructure.
Onward!
