Nest Integrates OpenTrade to Enhance RWA Yield Offerings on Plume Network

NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nest, the flagship staking protocol on Plume Network, today announced its integration with OpenTrade, an institutional-grade platform for RWA-backed lending and stablecoin yield products, to enhance its Real World Asset (RWA) yield offerings.

The integration enables Nest users to earn institutional-grade yields through secured lending fully backed by high quality financial assets such as U.S. Treasury Bills, providing a secure and efficient avenue for yield generation.

Through this integration, Nest users depositing stablecoins into Nest's yield-bearing vaults can now earn yields derived from OpenTrade's high-quality financial assets. This partnership leverages OpenTrade's expertise in powering access to stable returns from traditional financial instruments onchain, to allow users to easily and securely benefit from this through Nest.

"By integrating OpenTrade's treasury yield infrastructure, we're bringing Wall Street-grade yields to DeFi users while maintaining composability and transparency," said Alex Palmer, Head of Product at Plume Network. "The addition of OpenTrade's products as an offering within Nest's compliant vaults creates a powerful foundation for sustainable DeFi yields."

The integration ensures a seamless experience for users, who can now access these enhanced yield products directly through the Nest platform. By depositing stablecoins, users receive vault tokens that accrue interest in real-time, with the flexibility to unstake their assets at any time. This process is facilitated by Nest's adherence to ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 standards, ensuring standardized and transparent operations.

"We're thrilled to partner with Plume on their flagship Nest offering which is poised to unlock unprecedented access to stable, secure RWA-backed returns in DeFi. We see a great fit between the RWA-backed stablecoin yield products we have built and Plume's vision for Nest and are excited to be able to announce this partnership," said Jeff Handler, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of OpenTrade.
